After yesterday’s post about Gomer, I really felt to repost a devotion I wrote a few years ago about shame. Shame is such a debilitating feeling, and it makes you want to hide from the people you love and from the love of God. The First Account Of Shame After…
Have you ever been lost? You’re driving on unfamiliar roads, you’re phone is dead, and it’s past midnight… you don’t know where you are. Or, when you were a child at the mall, one moment your mom was there, but after a few minutes of playing, you look up and…
Have you ever been in a situation where you asked for someone’s help, let’s say your car broke down and you need someone to pick you up on the side of the road, and when your ‘friend’ responds, it’s with a drawn out sigh, “ugh, yeah, I guess I can…

When God Speaks Has God ever spoken to you? Maybe it wasn’t an audible voice, but have you had a moment when you have received a divine word, direction, or supernatural peace from our Sovereign Lord? Every time God has spoken to me, I am left in awe of His…
