I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
~ Psalm 119:15
What God Does While We Wait " Waiting is not evidence that God is absent. Waiting is often evidence that God is working beneath the surface. One of my favorite verses in Scripture is Isaiah 40:31: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they...
The Gift of the Wait " Sometimes God doesn't send a new direction. Sometimes He sends a pause. There are seasons in every believer's life when God presses the pause button. Not because He's forgotten us. Not because He's withholding something good and not because He's...
What Are You Carrying That God Never Asked You to Keep? " "Let us lay aside every weight... and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." ~Hebrews 12:1 Lately I've been thinking about the things we carry. Not just our responsibilities, but the...
Healing What Still Hurts I had to have a moment of honesty during one of my waiting seasons. I had to admit that I wasn't nearly as healed as I thought I was. I had been going through life like a healthy person, convincing myself I was moving on when, in reality, I...
Imagine if you reached a major accomplishment and then stopped. You spent the rest of your life celebrating that one victory without ever growing, learning, or moving forward. It might feel good for a while, but eventually you’d become stagnant.

And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?Exodus 14:5 KJV I was meditating on the effects of...
O.P.P. Yeah I did it. For all you old school saints, take a minute to get the song out of your head. Hearts and minds out of the gutter. The O.P.P. I'm thinking of is Other People's Prayers. Yup. Consider this: perhaps the reason you are in relationship with God is...
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.Romans 10:17 KJV What are we listening to? The bible says that faith comes by hearing. So, what do you hear? I am going to bend the theology of someone right now. This is for the misguided folks that have...
Have you ever found yourself diligently asking God for something and realize that His answer is the equivalent to building a piece of furniture from IKEA? You asked God for a chair and he gives you wood. Or better yet, He tells you get the wood from here, the screws...
