Purpose Again
I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8 Recently finished a little project. Sitting behind a large microphone, I read my entire devotion out loud. Every single one. Took over 16 hours and boy was it fun! I've always enjoyed acting or...

Time to Pause
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7 Stop walking forward. Pause, just for a moment. Sometimes we push forward, forgetting to look behind us. To remember. To refocus. To pause. While you're stopped, look around. What do you see? There are little bits of glory all around you. Bursts of God's miracles in your life. The awe of creation. The miracle of life. Things that make you smile, because God knows you. Now look behind you. Do you see God's faithfulness over the years? There's...

Flip It!
Those who trust in and wait on him will not be put to shame. Psalm 22:5 What crushing disappointment has sent you into despair? Or maybe it's just a simple one, causing you to question your entire life? Or maybe the direction you thought God wanted for you is a clear NO? Ok, maybe I'm...

Directing Your Steps
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9 Does God direct your steps? Do you allow Him to plan your days? When you wake up, what is your first thought? Often we decide what is next. We decide what is on the agenda. But is that the very...

Thinking of You
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. Psalm 139:17-18 Before Jesus was born, God was thinking of you. Deciding to send Jesus to earth, God had you on His...

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17 What if Jesus never came? If there was no Silent Night, Holy Night.

Ready to Come Home
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. John 10:28 When will it be your time? When will God decide to call you home? Will you be ready? Because ready or not, God will call. He might give you a big long warning. Like a diagnosis that doesn't seem to leave. Or He might take you in the blink of an...
