Why does God say, “Be still, and know that I am God…” He knew that in a world filled with busyness you would experience tension which is one of the worst of all depressants of the spirit. When you are tempted to fill your schedule with one more activity you will find yourself in a […]

Rejoicing, praying, and expressing gratitude sound easy to do when life is going smoothly, but what about times when you’re struggling just to make it through each day? Jesus knew you’d have difficult times, and His antidote for stifled spirit is praise-not for the struggle, but to affirm His promise of eternal life with Him. […]

Revelation is one of my favorite books in the Bible. Revelation was written to give unshakeable hope to the suffering Christians in the past, today and in the future. When this was written and even today, the world seems to be falling apart around us. Christians around the world have been persecuted for their faith. […]

Do you have “iffy” thoughts that dominate your life? Thoughts like: “What are we going to do IF that happens? What IF that does not work out? How will I manage IF that happens? IF only I had that! IF only I had not done that!” “What IFS” and “IF onlys” can monopolize out thoughts […]

Did you know we can do our own thinking? Have you ever thought about what you’re thinking about? Literally, we don’t stop to think about what we are thinking about. We need to pay attention to our thoughts, especially the thoughts that are in our minds early in the morning. I believe if the enemy […]

Abraham without asking God went down to Egypt because of a famine. He lied about Sarah being his sister and Pharaoh took Sarah to be his wife. This had to be humiliating for Sarah. Thankfully, the Lord intervened by inflicting a serious disease on Pharaoh and his household. Pharaoh literally says come and get your […]

Many days I cling to this verse – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:6-7 Some day’s anxiety can be […]
