“Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.” (Romans 12:12, CSB) When we pray for a need in our life, do we pray once? Twice? Three times? When do we give up? Do we have the persistence to hold on until the answer comes? Is our trust…
Faithfulness means loyal, steadfast, unwavering, unshakeable, firm, and dependable. God’s Word declares: “Great is his faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:23). “Declare his lovingkindness in the morning and His faithfulness every night.” (Psalm 92:1-2) “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever. I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalm 89:1) “Trust…
I remember the conversation like it was yesterday. It was the first week of November 2005, and Mark had called out to our girls, asking them to join us in the living room. He began to somberly share that if God did not provide a financial miracle, we would need…

“But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.” (Genesis 8:1, ESV) I forget things. Most of us do—some more than others. That’s why I keep a…

“Look! The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will name him Emmanuel,” which means “God with us.”Matthew 1:23 NET Emmanuel…God with us. How incredible! Jesus is God with us…always. In every moment. In every struggle and in every battle. He is, always, “Emmanuel, God with…
Someone sent me the following in an e-mail message. It had no title so I entitled it, “If.”
If the economy collapses, He is still my Provider!
If the healthcare is unsustainable, He is still my Healer!
If disaster shall come, He is still my Protector!
If the powers that be strip me of my patriotism, He is still my banner!
If my life should be taken, He is still my Salvation!
He is my God. He is Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life!
Prayer: I am so glad that You are my God and You are the same yesterday, today and forever. The world I live in is so “iffy” it makes it hard to plan anything. You never change. You can handle any “if” that comes along. Amen!
