God is enough. His yoke is easy, His burden is light. What burdens, then, am I taking on that are not from Him? What load am I carrying that is not mine? His burden is light. Why is this burden I’m carrying so heavy? This is what He says to me: It’s not your job.…

Willing Sacrifice
Willingly, I will sacrifice to Thee; I will give thanks to Thy name, Lord, for it is good (Psalm 54:6). The word “willingly” here makes me think that there’s a way to sacrifice to the Lord unwillingly. And it makes me think David knew and saw others sacrificing unwillingly since he made the distinction that…
My Job is to Praise
It’s not my job to figure things out. It’s my job to praise and give glory and proclaim that God is God. How many times I’ve said that God is God and I’m not, yet I keep trying to step into His shoes. His ways are not my ways, yet I keep trying to figure…
Waiting on the Lord
Oh, that Thou wouldst rend the heavens and come down…(Isaiah 64:1). Yes, Lord, come down. Make Your presence known. I’ve been waiting a long time. I’ve prayed this verse many times. I know the Lord is with me. Though sometimes, it doesn’t feel like it. Yet, I’m still waiting. I’m waiting for the Lord to…
Wanting To Hear
There are little details addressed in the Proverbs — the book I’m reading right now — and big things too. And some of them speak to me profoundly. There are days when the Holy Spirit points to a specific proverb and reveals all kinds of truths in just a few words on the page. But…
A Bunch of Praises and Trust
I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being (Psalm 146:2 NASB). I will not trust in myself (v.3) or the ways of this world. I will not trust that I can figure things out, that I know best, that somehow I know better…
He Is My Rock
God is my rock. He remains solid and steadfast, firm and unchanging. He is God. I may wake up in a good mood or bad mood, but He doesn’t change. Some days, I hear Him with crystal clarity and some days I hear Him as if I’m under water. But He doesn’t change. He is…
My Help, My Shield
The Lord is the help and shield of Israel, His chosen (Psalm 115:9). I’m chosen by God too (1 Peter 2:9). So that’s me. He’s my help and shield. The Lord is the help and shield of the house of Aaron, the priests (Psalm 115:10). I am of a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). So…
Know No Limits: Why I Can Do All Things
God is big. Really, really big. He is to be praised. He is to be feared. Lord, You are able to do all things. I know this in my head. But when You call me to do something I am not able to do, I’m quick to tell You I can’t do it. I suppose…
Me and My Foolishness
You have called me to the impossible, forsaking the ways of the world and the wisdom of this culture. Everything around me says this can’t be done. People say You don’t do this. Many watch and scratch their heads. This makes no sense, this walk of faith. People say the words that I say to…
