Today’s devotional is about worry. Dealing with anxiety is hard. It makes worry part of everyday. Worry is difficult. Turning things over to God is even harder because that gives us control and having control helps ease anxiety. But, as I’m learning, I was never in control. I can choose to recognize HE is in control and act accordingly. Of […]
We have a duty in life. To share our kindness, share our love, and carry our candle into the darkness. Today at church we sang Go Light your World (originally by Kathy Trocoli and covered by Chris Rice). https://youtu.be/WsM5lt9tCFo I say carry your candle. Light the world, you can help. “Frustrated brother, see how he’s tried to Light his own […]
Life is hard. When we have trial and tribulation we make think God has forsaken us, it at the very least forgotten us. He hasn’t. Sometimes we need to be lost and in the wilderness. When we are lost and all the distractions are stripped away, we can see his plan. This is a time of training and being prepared […]
Tonight’s devotional (yes two in one day, had to catch up from yesterday) really got me. It is about control and following our path instead of God’s path for us. We want the fastest shot but miss what God has in mind for us. I certainly shared my battles with anxiety with all of you before. Having control is the […]
Today’s devotional and scripture was difficult. It was about how we devalue ourselves. How we look for things to cover up the lies we tell ourselves. Remember you were created beautifully. ———– The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. – Job 33:4 ———- “We all have them; the lies we believe. Yet […]
Today’s devotional and scripture was hard. It’s about hitting rock bottom and that we need to redefine that so we can see Christ and move forward ———– According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether […]
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. Colossians 1:16 ——– “A curious faith in a limitless God we might have had as children is replaced with an explainable faith bound by limited possibility […]
A friend of mine who posted daily scriptures left Facebook as of yesterday. I am going to try to take up his mantle. ———- Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams […]
Today’s Bible verse is about our need for God changes at different times as we feel we need him more or less. Even though we always need him. During Grandma’s celebration of life, in Hebrew there is no word for funeral, the Rabbi said we think we can go straight at it on our own. When things are good, we […]
Today’s lesson is on gratitude and thanks. I have been struggling with how to show and receive thanks and gratitude. After thinking about it and praying, I realized there is a continuum. 1. Nothing. No thanks, no nothing. 2. Thanking someone, including the Lord, for doing something. 3. Helping or doing something the person who you are thankful for normally […]
