“Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” Psalm 40:5 I still serve an amazing God. He′s been with me every mile my weary feet have trod. He still cares, He still hears. He’s still mending broken hearts and drying tears. This old world is bound to change. But I′m glad I know the One Who always stays the same. And my song…
“For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” Exodus 20:11 God doesn’t just suggest or encourage rest, He commands us to rest (Exodus 20:8–11) and He led by…
I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me;he delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:1-4. Praising the Lord at all times is…

“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” Revelation 21:7 This week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is a suitable time to finish some projects that we started during the year. Every year I read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It is amazing that no matter how many times we do this, we can always find something new to meditate upon. As I was finishing up the Book of Revelation, I looked carefully at the letters that John wrote to the seven churches. In every one of…
Jeremiah 33:25 “But this is what the Lord says: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky.” I have always thought I understood what love was, but once I had my first daughter, I quickly realized that I knew very little about unconditional love. I adore my two sweet girls, but they wreck me. Ask anyone who knows me, when I start talking about my girls, I usually end up crying happy tears. When I read this verse, I was struck by just how much God loves…
God invites us to participate in the process of discovering and developing the dreams He has placed within our hearts. If you sense God stirring holy desires in you, consider walking through these four phases on the path to possibility. Seek “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10, ESV). God gave you His capacity to dream. When He created you in His image, He placed within you a reflection of His own ability to imagine, create, and bring life from possibility. The inspiration,…
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9). Has God ever reshaped your plans? We can all relate to things in our lives that do not line up with God’s will. Humans are creatures who love to plan and dream. However, life happens, and plans get rearranged. We toss and toil for what we desire, and in doing so, we often miss the mark. We make…
