It really shouldn’t surprise me how that God pays attentions to the details of our lives. Sometimes it’s incredibly overwhelming to think that the God who created the entire universe and everything in it is intimately concerned about even the really small things in my life. He knows the number of hairs on my head.Continue reading “God Remembers Our Prayers”

A Year in the Rear-view
The Bible uses the word “remember,” or some variation of that word, 304 times! I think it’s safe to say that God really, really wants us to “remember.” But what does He want us to remember? I believe the answer lies in Psalm 103:2–“Bless the Lord, Oh My Soul, and forget not all His benefits….”Continue reading “A Year in the Rear-view”
New Year’s Hope
The last few years I’ve jumped on the bandwagon of asking God for a word for the New Year. The word is meant to be my theme for the year–a promise of sorts between me and God for what He’s leading me toward. The word I get is usually jam-packed with meaning and promise. It’sContinue reading “New Year’s Hope”
I Am Doing A New Thing
It’s another New Year. I can hardly believe how fast 2020 went, and yet it felt like a year that would never end. This year has had a lot of ups and downs. It started off with such expectancy. God gave me the word “Flourish” for 2020, and I was just sure that after theContinue reading “I Am Doing A New Thing”
How Solid is Your Foundation?
Last night I had an interesting dream. I’ve talked about how lately I’ve been paying more attention to my dreams, trying to write them down, and praying about whether or not the dream holds any special meaning. I’m a pretty vivid dreamer. It’s not uncommon for my dreams to contain a lot of detail, aContinue reading “How Solid is Your Foundation?”
The Law of Faith
When you think about laws, you may think about civil laws. You may think about traffic laws or criminal laws. You may not think so much about natural laws or scientific laws. The truth is that laws exist all around us. They govern the universe. They govern society. Laws are things that hold true everyContinue reading “The Law of Faith”
The Little Things
When we pray, we often tend to focus on the big things. We have no problem turning to God in prayer for things that seem too big for us to handle. When we have a diagnosis that changes our lives, when our marriage is on the rocks, when our children are straying, when we justContinue reading “The Little Things”
An Unfinished Testimony?
I love testimonies! I think they’re my favorite part of church meetings. Revelation 12:11 says: “They triumphed over him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” Our testimonies are incredibly important because they helpContinue reading “An Unfinished Testimony?”
Memorial Day
If you live in America, like me, chances are that you are spending your day today home from work, cooking out with your family in celebration of the unofficial start of the summer season. Today is Memorial Day in America, and while most of us don’t give a passing thought to what this day isContinue reading “Memorial Day”
