What does God have to do to “capture” your undivided attention? I wonder what Jonah thought as he sat in the belly of that whale. I imagine him sitting with his back against a side of the belly wall resting his head in his hands wondering how he […]
It’s at the darkest moments in life when we realize how much we really need God… Sometimes God allows us to get to a point where we find ourselves prostate before Him. Out of answers. Without words. Feeling as though there is nothing we can do. This is the perfect time for a “God Moment.” […]
I woke up with the theme song from Jaws going through my head, which I thought was kind of peculiar and a little disconcerting until Holy Spirit clarified the why of it… When you choose to accept Jesus Christ as Lord of your life and as your personal Savior you are “choosing” to enter into […]
This post is for you if you have declared yourself to be a Christian. The dictionary defines the word “Christian” like this: “A person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Christianity.” It also says, “relating to or professing Christianity or its teaching.” and in Google it says, “a person who believes […]
There are some days when I wake up just KNOWING God is not done with me. The kind of day where from the moment I woke up, everyone and everything around me irritated me. Heck, I even felt irritated with my own self and I couldn’t put my finger on the why of it. I […]
If someone were to ask me to sum up what I think would be the most important piece of wisdom I could give, all in one sentence, I would say, “Know to Whom you belong…” When you Know that you belong to HIM then even in the midst of a battle – you can rest assured […]
The biggest bully of all stands in the background of your life, mocking you, whispering insults and accusations in your ear. His greatest accolade is causing havoc in the most vulnerable areas of your life and making you believe that he doesn’t even exist. He is called the devil or satan and he absolutely and […]
We live in a time where we are hard pressed on ALL sides. I have been thinking a lot about the Israelites during the time they were under such oppression and slavery under the rule of pharaoh. When we read our Bible it is easy to forget that everything happened over a period of time, […]
Have you been praying relentlessly about something? Believing God to answer your prayers? Waiting diligently on Him. Checking, double-checking, triple checking yourself spiritually? Trying not to let frustration seep in? Sometimes we try too hard. We need to get into a place where we can quiet our own spirit. If Jesus Christ is your Lord […]
Your Father is calling You Home… I have a word for all of you who are prodigals who have been reading my writings… LISTEN CAREFULLY… GOD LOVES YOU. I do not know what it is you are currently going through or what it is that has brought you to the point of becoming a prodigal. […]
It is easy for us to compare God to our earthly fathers, or think of Him as this big “religious” figure who shakes His finger at us or is a wrathful mean foreboding figure. He’s not. He is the meet-you-right-where-you-are-at kind of God. He is the knows-your-thoughts-before-you-think-them kind of God (see Psalm 139). Our perception […]
When I try to think of a comparison of what “pressing in” to my faith means, I visualize a runner who is running a marathon and is determined to do the best they can to make it to the end. Moments when they have to push through the burning lungs and physical inclination of wanting […]
