Take the Path of Life
“Show me the path of life…” Psalm 16:11 God knows exactly what is going on in your world. He has provided everything you need to live during these times; and actually He has provided a way for you to live in peace even during times of trouble. Find the path of life, the peace of God. Once you find the path of life, stay there, don’t let your heart be troubled. Stop allowing yourself stray off the path, lost and fearful. You have a choice; you simple stay on the path. You have a choice daily; so don’t allow your […]
The Loving Kindness of our God
“The Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me …” Psalm 42:8 At night you can sleep in peace because you know God is already working things out for tomorrow. The Lord actually commands His loving kindness to be accomplished, so you will receive all His blessings. He commands it. He is ext ending His loving kindness towards you. This is His promise and you can rest in His promises. Look for it, His loving kindness will show up visibly. Deut.28:8 says, “the Lord shall command the blessings upon […]
Are Your Feelings Affecting your Focus?
13. I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27: 13-14 Do you believe that scripture? If not, what is it you are focusing on? When we set our hearts on the goodness of the Lord we carry His presence into every situation. No matter what the circumstances are we must focus on the goodness of the Lord. If we look at our circumstances and ‘give in to our feelings’ we will sink […]
Awakened in my Faith!
“Aroused by faith, Moses, when he had grown to maturity and became great…” Hebrews 11:24 It is interesting that Moses had to be aroused by faith. The word “arouse” means to be awakened; to be stirred up and awakened from slumbering. We can get so consumed and overwhelmed with the struggles of life that we become discouraged to the point that our spirit slumbers, or shuts down and sleeps. When you give in and are overcome by discouragement, you have a slumbering spirit. An awakened spirit keeps you focused on what God is doing; even in the midst of trouble, […]
What is my purpose in life?
“I will cry to God Most High …who brings to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them.” Psalm 57:2 (AMP) Do you desire to know what your purpose is in life? Are you lacking fulfillment and joy in what you do each day? Does it feel like you are just spinning you wheels and never gaining ground? Finding those things which gives our life purpose and meaning is important. God has given each of us our own unique blend of talents and skills that will enable us to fulfill our purpose in life. We are beautifully created […]
Are you Stressed, Tired, and Burnt-out?
“Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land…” Psalm 63:1 Life can be very difficult at times. The stresses that we face each day can often be overwhelming and leave us exhausted and frustrated. There is a deep well within us that must be filled up daily. When this well has not been filled, you will find yourself dry and thirsty. Jesus said, “If any man thirst let him come to me and drink.” (John 7:37) Jesus is the fountain where we go to drink; He […]
How to Create Your Home as a Safe Place
“Love one another” – 1 John 4 We all want to make our home a safe place for ourselves and those we love. To establish your home as a safe place read the following statements. If you agree with these statements ask God to remove any blocks or stones in your heart that would hinder His love from flowing through your heart into your home. 1) I want my home to be a safe place where love abounds. 2) I will express love to my family in verbal and nonverbal ways without stipulations or conditions. 3) I want my home […]
I am Safe During any Storm!
“For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.” – Psalm 27:5 If tomorrow you have a “day of trouble” can you keep your heart fixed on the goodness of the Lord? When you keep your heart fixed steadfastly on His goodness you are able to weather any storm. You will travel safely though the terrible storm just like Noah was kept safe inside the Ark. Think for a moment, what if the Holy Spirit quickened […]
Finding a Safe Place
“Create in me a pure heart, Oh god and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 There was a time in my life that I needed a safe place for God to do open heart surgery. My heart was broken and as hard as I tried, I could not recover. During that time, well-meaning friends said things like, “Can’t you snap out of it and just get over it?” No, it wasn’t that easy. I needed someone safe to understand what I was going through- to listen to how I was hurting and help me release the pain. […]
You Are Chosen and Have Purpose
“He hath chosen us in Him…” Eph 1:4 Have you ever thought about what it really means to be chosen by God? Do you remember an event or a series of events when it became clear that you were chosen? Did you feel God’s sovereign hand protecting and guiding you? You have been chosen to be God’s child so you can be His representative on the earth. Paul said in Ephesians 1:5, that He planned for us to be adopted and revealed as His own children. This is our identity and purpose in one verse. Once you discover your identity […]
