Heart of Wisdom

Each day is a gift. We are not promised tomorrow. What is God telling you to do that you are putting off? Wisdom comes from the Lord. Seek Him with your whole heart. Worship Him with obedience. A surrendered heart unto Christ, is a wise heart ❤️

Sudden Storms

Last night I woke up to hear howling winds and pouring rain beating against my window. Lights flickered until they finally went out. One minute I was sleeping soundly, the next minute I was in the middle of a strong storm that resulted in darkness. Isn’t that how it happens in life? Things can be…

Where is my focus?

On my worries? News headlines? All the horrible things that could possibly happen? Fears of the future? Mountains in my life or the lives of my loved ones? Or maybe my focus is on good things, which is much wiser than thinking on evil, as the Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 4. My blessings,…

Peace

I don’t know anyone that couldn’t benefit from having perfect peace in their hearts. Keeping our hope and faith in Christ is the key to having that peace. God is faithful even when we don’t understand His ways. We can depend upon his love for us. (Romans 8:28-39) Focus on HIS Word, HIS promises, and…

Do you know what you’re here for?

“You know what you’re here for” my father-in-law says playfully as he shakes his empty tea glass and calls out someone’s name. (usually one of the teenagers in the room).

Best of Both Worlds

In Psalm 46, we are told that God is our refuge. Oxford dictionary tells us that refuge means the state of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or difficulty. What a comfort to know that our God shelters us. You may say, “But wait, I have trouble in my life and I’m a Christian”….

New Creation

Do you struggle with your past? God doesn’t struggle with it. When you become a new creation in Christ, your past is gone. You are brand new. Jesus died and rose again for this new life to happen. Don’t walk around in shame from past sin disregarding all that Christ has given you. Walk in…

Have Faith

Are you waiting for a prayer to be answered? Can you trust God’s heart while you are waiting? You can trust His heart of love even when you can’t see the fruit of your prayers. No matter how we feel, God is faithful and is working things out for our good. (Romans 8:28) He sees…
