“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Psalm 27:14 The days of waiting a week for a package is over and dial-up internet is only something people over the age of 30 remember. We now live in a world of Amazon Prime with same day shipping and 5G fast-speed internet. The efforts of 21st-Century businesses is making the process of waiting obsolete and that mindset has influenced our approach to God. There is a plethora of scriptures that command us to wait, and even though the world is…
“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6, NKJV) I enjoy eating out—a night free from cooking and a time…
“Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance” (Psalm 32:7). Have you ever noticed how differently children and adults react to rain? We grumble as we hunt our umbrellas and then allow the grayness of the day to…

“For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” Psalms 91:3-4 Have you ever felt vulnerable? I am the type of person who hates to be seen as weak,struggling or…vulnerable. But at the end of the day, I am still human. Being a Christian doesn’t elevate me beyond my human flaws, I will still make mistakes, and I will always be in need of a Savior. I will be faced with whatever life…
“The Lord is my light and my salvation — so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?” Psalms 27:1 It seems as though the world is getting darker and darker each day. Horrors that hid in the shadows for far too long are now being brought to light again, and it’s honestly devastating to see the brokenness of humanity. Humanity as a whole appeared to be sleep walking for so long, and are only now becoming aware of the chaos that surrounds us. We are broken and lost. So…
Psalms 41:4-5 KJV I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? Legacy. We all want to leave our mark on this world, and we strive to be remembered beyond our lifespan. One of the greatest tragedies of a human life, is one that did not invest in others and produce fruit that lasted even after death. When studying these scriptures I learned that in ancient cultures, to not be remembered was comparable to having never existed. When reading…
“And to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:24, ESV) Once upon a time, in the home of special friends, lived a very determined four-year-old girl. She had definite likes and dislikes, and no one had any difficulty in determining which was which. One noted battle from that time long ago concerned her shoes. Once nice and white with flashing lights in the heels, they were now completely worn out—scuffed to the point where no white remained, both toes battered and torn open, flashing lights forever darkened. Her parents…
