I love walking and therefore I love any path I find. It’s always a “wonder where this will take me kind of thing.” And so we are all on this path we call life……..some choose it without GOD, others are chosen by GOD to walk alongside HIM. Honestly a life without GOD must be so very … More PATH OF THE JUST
Instead of questioning GOD’S goodness, we should run to it. We always seem to question GOD asking why these days, why wars, why sickness, why evil, why, why, why? Why do bad people hurt good people? Why do cheaters win? But when we ask “why LORD”, we are saying we question HIS goodness and promises, all … More RUN TO GOD’S GOODNESS
God’s glory can be seen all around us. Never take it all for granted. HE displays HIS hands so we will honor and worship HIM. But it’s our every day self-glory that gets us into trouble. Who is on the throne of our lives? Who comes first? Because in GOD’S plan, it’s not about us, … More SELF-GLORY/GOD’S GLORY
In our lives, GOD often closes a door only to open another one for us. I believe this is due to the fact that HIS plans are always better than our own. ISAIAH 55: 8-9 “FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NOR ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, SAYS THE LORD. FOR AS THE HEAVENS … More THE CHALLENGE OF A BLOCKED DOOR
I recently read in my favorite Spurgeon study Bible that “there is not an ingat of silver in Heaven’s treasury that has not been in the furnace on earth and been purified seven times.” I was struck by the thought that GOD has and will continue to test me with this unique purification of HIS … More HE REFINES US
If the call to love others and to serve them is a burden to you, then you really are living for you and not for JESUS. We were bought with a precious price. The Cross is proof. JESUS sacrificed it all……..all for us to live out our lives for HIM. DON’T LIVE AS YOUR OWN……..LIVE … More LIVE AS IF CHRIST OWNS YOU
May the Gospel we know be something we guard as if it were a treasure because it truly is a treasure and a gift like none other. 2 TIMOTHY 1: 14 “BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO DWELLS WITHIN US, GUARD THE GOOD DEPOSIT ENTRUSTED TO YOU.” What a gift given to us! What a message … More GUARD THE GOOD DEPOSIT
The LORD is with us always and forever. Once HE has us in HIS hands HE never let’s go. It’s why HE chose the nails for us. HE would rather live with us than without. HE knows the depth of our sin, and yet HE died alone, on a Cross between two criminals. HE took … More THE SAFETY OF HIS PRESENCE
May you speak the language of grace today. We have a choice from the moment we wake on how we will speak to those around us. Are our words full of grace for one another or full of complaints about one another? Do our words reflect compassion and light or judgement and darkness? I think … More GRACIOUS LANGUAGE
There are glory days ahead. Just as the sun rises each day, spring is around the corner. And so is abundant life in CHRIST. It’s all HIS grace of course for each of us. Tough times in the past have caused me to discount those hard days I had. They were just something to get through … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
