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 […]
Embracing Spiritual Maturity
“Not only so, but we[a] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Fulfilling the call of God on your life will require spiritual maturity. The Bible offers us many wonderful examples where God led His child through situations to teach them, and bring them to a more spiritual mature place. It was necessary in order to prepare them for the work they had before them. Let’s look at Solomon and what he had to go through to prepare to build the house of the Lord. King David […]
A Sure Sign of Maturity
“…When he (Moses) had grown to maturity…” Hebrews 11:24 There is a day in all of our lives when we come to a crossroad. We make a choice that signifies we have come into maturity. The day that Moses embraced his true identity – who God said he was, is the day he reached full maturity. Something changed and he would never go back again because after that day, he refused to be called “the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.” That was his earthly identity, and even though it had many benefits, he refused to have the enjoyment of the sinful […]
God Calls for A Time of Rest
“Come unto me all who are weak and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 Are you tired and weak from the busyness of life? Are you tired from the heavy burdens you are carrying? The Lord is calling you to come to Him and rest awhile. The only way you can truly rest is by laying your burdens down. Lay them down and let Him tell you what He wants you to pick back up. God set forth times of rest from the beginning. Even when everything He created was good, He didn’t just keep going. […]
This is the way, so now walk in it
Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way; walk ye in it” Isaiah 30:21 When we have decisions to make and doubts are flooding our soul and others suggest courses of action that are conflicting, when caution dictates one approach but faith the other, it is the time to stop and be still. The scripture says, “Be still and know, I am God” (Psalm 46:10). This gives us the permission that it is “ok” to quiet the intruding opinion of others around us and then calm […]
Stay on the Right Path
Show me thy ways, O Lord and show me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me… Psalm 25:4 The Psalmist is praying, asking God to show him His ways – the right way. We are all faced daily with decisions and desire to know the right way, or the right answer. The Psalmist David was asking for the Lord to show him a path to walk on, and to make it clear so he would know which way to go. I believe when we ask the Lord, He will make His way very plain and clear. […]
Have you been offended? How to Deal With Offenses
“Oh, Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” Psalm 34:3 Have you noticed the increase in the opportunities to be offended? Even after 25 years of marriage to my husband, I sometimes get offended by what he says. As a wife, I may know he doesn’t mean something the way I took it, but I still feel a huge pull to be offended. I believe in the day we are living, the days prior to the return of the Lord, there will be a greater pull than ever before to be offended. Jesus taught us […]
Keep a Journal of your Blessings
“Our fathers in Egypt understood not nor appreciated Your miracles; they did not earnestly remember the multitude of Your mercies nor imprint Your loving-kindness [on their heart], but they were rebellious and provoked the Lord at the sea, even at the Red Sea.” Psalm 106: 7 I have found that when I write something down I am able to remember it. I have even written down a grocery list and then left the list in the car but, because I wrote out the grocery list I was able to remember the items on my list. I recently had a dream […]
God’s Purpose for Your Life
“I will cry to God Most High …who brings to pass His purposes for me and surely completes them.” Psalms 57:2 AMP Do you seek and desire to know what is your purpose? You may be wondering, “Why am I here and what am I suppose to do with my life?” So many times we run here and there pursuing this idea or that idea trying to discover God’s purpose for our life. We read in Psalms 57:2 that God has established His purpose for each of us and He will bring it to pass. All we do is continue […]
