Don’t reject the Lord’s warnings
While reading my Bible in a year plan, I came across a verse I know I’ve heard many times before, but I guess I never thought much about it.
The multifaceted value of prayer
How we pray can be a matter of personal preference though and we know this because there are many instances in the Bible where people are praying, and it doesn’t always look the same.
Redemption from the least to the greatest
For someone whom God called a “man after His own heart” (1 Sam 13:14; Acts 13:22), David’s behavior didn’t always live up to the hype.
Seeing a greater purpose when life doesn’t make sense
As believers we know God allows things to happen for His purpose and we don’t always know why. Speaking for myself, there are things in my life that have never made sense. Actually, the world doesn’t always make sense either.
Seeking after the Seeker
Lamentations 3:22–23 tells us God’s mercies are new every morning and it releases us from the need to strive to earn God’s love and acceptance. It does not however absolve us from intentionally seeking a closer relationship with Him.
When loved ones disappoint
What do we do when loved ones make disappointing choices? I think it helps to look at what Jesus did with the ones closest to Him.
Lessons in Spring
When life gets busy or overwhelming, self-care is usually one of the first things we let go of even though we know there can be a price to pay. But before you do, just remember you can’t do what you do best if you’re not at your best.
