“According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.” 1 Corinthians 3:10 ESV Have you ever felt incapable or underqualified to do what God has called you to do? I’m sure in moments of doubt and weakness, even Paul experienced this. Those moments when fear comes creeping into the back of your mind, and threatens to destroy everything that has been built in your life. The scripture above lets us know that it’s because…
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 The words of the song “He Giveth More Grace” have been on my mind for the last few days. A beloved family member has been battling cancer for a few…

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:11. I don’t live many days without hearing the phrase, “did you hear about… that shooting?… that natural disaster?… that murder?… that disease?… that fill in the blank with awful news.” The New York Times Headlines can shape the rest of our day in a negative way—if we permit. However, let those stories bring you to a place of prayer over the grieving individuals, the impossible situations, the climate of your Nation, etc. Pray that God would dispatch His angels to keep your…
Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.” I live 30 minutes from D.C. and one of our family traditions is to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival every year. When the Cherry Blossoms hit their peak bloom, it is an official sign that Spring is here. The National Cherry Blossom Festival attracts more than 1.5 million people to the District of Columbia every year. At the heart of the festival is 3,000 cherry blossom trees blooming along the Tidal Basin. It’s amazing that blossoming trees can attract so many people from around…
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another.” 1 John 1:7, KJV. God has designed families to be one of the strongest forces to show His love and design. However, the family unit is wrought with an attack from the enemy—everyday. Even the moments that families have with one another at the dinner table has diminished, due to long work hours, bringing work home with us, the dependence on entertainment, and the lack of intention to spend quality time with one another. Corporations, work schedules, school sports, favorite t.v…
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High. Psalm 92:1. Lately, I have had a deep sense of gratitude for what the Lord has done in my life. Sometimes I forget where God has brought me from. A few weeks ago in a church service, we sang, “When I think about the Lord, how he saved me… it makes me want to shout hallelujah, thank you, Jesus!” I began to weep at the keyboard as I thanked the Lord for completely changing my life around. Where would I…
