Day 21 of God’s Love for Us October 10, 2017 This sounds powerful and should be embraced I think, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”(2Timothy 1:7 NKJ) From my study bible it says, “Paul urged him (Timothy) to be bold. When we allow people to intimidate us, we neutralize our effectiveness for God. The power of the Holy Spirit can help us overcome our fear of what some might say or do to us, so that we can continue to do God’s work.” (NASB notes Read More

“Great are the works of the Lord; They are studied by all who delight in them. Splendid and majestic is His work,…He has made His wonders to be remembered;”(Psalm 111:2-4) Aren’t we His works? Yes we are…Yes you are!!! Hallelujah for that thought. There is strength, power, honor, and dignity in that thought when you let it sink into your heart.

David and Our Roots
David and Our Roots – July 15, 2017 – We all know the story of David. As a youth he killed Goliath. Goliath was over 9ft tall. Some stories say he was less than 10, other stories say he was a young teenager. David became the greatest King of Israel because He followed God and believed His words and felt His presence. David didn’t let Goliath intimidate him. Israel was founded on acknowledgement of God. He was their very root system of sustaining life and direction. Wasn’t He the root system of our Founding Fathers as well? God was mentioned Read More
A Story of Patience
A Story of Patience April 6, 2017 This story of Daniel is a true pillar of strength and belief. It is one of my favorite stories because it shows how God does hear us and work on our behalf. Today we are so caught up in instant this and instant that, that we lack true faith and patience. If we seek God with all our heart, with faith, and with belief, we will have the patience and see that He hears us. Psalm 119:165 reminds me, “Those who love Your law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.” Read More
How we See Ourselves
How We See Ourselves April 1, 2017 Image management & bearing good fruit, what a combination. How do we see ourselves in comparison to how others see us is a really good question. If those two ideas are different, then we become incongruent and find ourselves chasing the other vision. If we really begin to see ourselves as God sees us and has called us to be, then our lives will become more harmonious and free from irritation and distraction. When we begin to see God as the one “who has revealed Himself to us as our source of strength, Read More
Empathy
Empathy March 9, 2017 How sweet it is to hear someone say, “I know,” when you have a problem. They know because they have been thru a very similar problem. In the first few weeks of my walk, a sweet lady pulled me aside and told me those very words about the trouble I was going thru. At that moment is when I found that I was in the right place and on the right track to healing. In God’s house there is love, healing, strength, and comfort. David wrote that God knows our words before we can say them, Read More
