Discouraged? Perhaps Look at Your Expectations
“I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 When we delight in the Lord and set our hearts on the goodness of the Lord we can carry His goodness and His loving presence into every situation. David knew he could not look at the circumstances. He had to keep his eyes on the goodness of the Lord. He said, “I would have fainted if I had not expected to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” He set his […]
The Lord Will Raise You Up
“The Lord raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill, that He may seat them with princes, even the princes of His people.” Psalm 113:7-8 The plan of our Heavenly Father is to raise His children up to sit in heavenly places.

There are wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes in various places. Everywhere you turn, you hear of devastation. Many are like the man who called our office today from another country asking: Where do I go where it is safe? I couldn’t tell him whether or not he should leave his country, but I could tell him to take refuge in the Lord and He would […]
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 […]
