Disappointment
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him. Psalm 62:5 Why is it that little things can send us crashing to the floor in utter despair? If we are so dependent on God, little issues shouldn't even phase us. Frankly, we shouldn't notice them. But we do. Life...

Constant Conversation
And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long. Psalm 71:24 God wants all of you. He wants desperately to be your all in all. How do you begin to know His heart? Or know what He wants from you? Constant conversation. A never ending conversation with God. You're kidding, right? God wants to know about the missing socks, the broken garage door, or the mouse trap? Yep. He knows you inside and out and wants you to know Him the same way. We have the...

Worth the Fight
You shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you. Deuteronomy 3:22 You can't afford to lay down and die. You can't surrender yourself and your family to death or defeat.

Again and Again
And again, I will put my trust in Him. Hebrews 2:13 Submitting to God and giving Him every drop of worry will happen again and again. Over and over. What? Why? Because we're human and we forget, am I right? Our minds are trained to worry when our future is unclear. When life is as...

God promises to be completely faithful - with His faithfulness comes amazing breakthrough and change. So why are we continually surprised? Lack...

You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Song of Solomon 4:7 If you were the only person on earth, Jesus would have died for you alone. He loves you that much. When He created you, He smiled. He created you exactly as He wanted. And He doesn't make mistakes. Don't...

God Himself Will Restore You
God Himself will restore you. 1Peter 5:10 Really? God, who created all things, will personally restore me? He cares that much about me? Yes, and more than we could possibly know. We are in His thoughts. He knows the number of hairs on our head. When our lives are turned upside down.....when we don't know where to turn as life gets messy.....when a pressing issue rears it's ugly head, God will reach down, scoop us up into His arms, and restore us. Make us whole. Return us to a...

Gut Level Trust
Yea, though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.....thy rod and staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 These words from Psalm 23 depict the very gut level trust God has for us. When we are completely in the dark.....when we cannot see nor bear to see what is in front...

Details of Life
The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Psalm 37:23 God has blessed me in so many ways. Every time I turn around, He shows up. How? Where? Details. He’s in the details of my life. He’s in the sweet face of the kindergartner who announces to the class, “My teacher has such a pretty face”. He’s in the email from a new friend encouraging me to seek God’s face for my life. He’s in the flowers sent from dear high school...
