199 devotionals in Peace
February 17, 2021
Last night while we were “Netflix and chillin’”, I was going through some older devotionals and I came across something I wrote or shared a while ago. It’s definitely worth sharing again.“Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person the die; it’s not hurting the...
prayerFebruary 5, 2021
Every once in a while I will stop, take a breath and really listen. What I mean is we live in such a fast paced world and our brains pick up on things that provide stimulus to us an it deciphers what we are hearing or reading without us consciously really reading or hearing it. You dig what I’m t...
graceJanuary 20, 2021
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that s...
fearJanuary 15, 2021
1/18/19So I’ve been thinking lately as I’m coming up on another year on this rock and reflecting on the past, both good and bad. And one of the things I keep coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve been through and survived and what or why would I fear what’s ahead of me....
faithJanuary 7, 2021
So I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...
wisdomDecember 21, 2020
So I dipped my toe into a debate with someone who without solicitation started attacking me for my opinions and beliefs. I say, “dipped my toe” because right after thinking what I should say in my defense, I thought better of it. No amount of me “being right” was going to change this persons view...
courageDecember 14, 2020
“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."”Deuteronomy 31:6 You know, it’s been a heck of a year and I was thinking about what I fear and one of the fears was loneliness...especially this tim...
fearDecember 7, 2020
We all have fears, fears of failure, injury, death, etc. But is it really healthy? What purpose does it serve, really...Fear serves one—and only one—purpose: to keep you alive. It’s nothing more than a survival response.Here’s what that means. If you’re in the woods and you run across a massive b...
encouragementNovember 13, 2020
“Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have...
peaceNovember 12, 2020
I was talking to a friend last night and I somewhat in jest said, “I wish the world would just let me live in peace!” Ever felt this way?We live in a world where there are so many situations, people and voices that want to steal our peace. But as children of God, I believe that we must have an at...
frustrationNovember 2, 2020
I’ve got to be honest, the last few weeks have been the most frustrating weeks I can recall in a long time. It’s been a never ending barrage of gut shot after gut shot. Trying to carry the burden of others and taking care of my own at the same time. I’m sure you’ve been there, we all have. So, I...
forgivenessOctober 21, 2020
Today you may have a specific person in mind that you need to forgive. Some of us have had very painful things happen to us, even a long time ago, that need to be forgiven. Forgiveness is truly freedom for our hearts, and peace for our soul. But aside from being able to forgive and put major issu...
identityOctober 9, 2020
I drove up to my camper in the mountains Wednesday night to fly and get away and collect my thoughts and support a friends who was hoping to have his Solo flight. Well, there was a few people that were new there and of course I had to go meet them...it’s kind of what I do. Idle meeting new people...
self-righteousnessSeptember 18, 2020
You know, we can pretty much rationalize and minimalist just about anything we do if we put our “self” first when doing things. Think about it, no matter how ridiculous our actions may be we can always back it up with some sort of self righteous reasoning. But I think we can be free of excuse mak...
unityAugust 31, 2020
Hope er’body had a great weekend! As I turn on the news, it seems the world stayed crazy...oh, well.Listen, it’s no secret that our world seems more divided than ever. Whether it’s political parties that can’t agree on a nation’s budget or special interest groups that spew hatred toward each othe...
peaceAugust 11, 2020
Life can get really busy sometimes with hectic schedules, financial pressures, and various commitments, so much so that it can be easy to allow that busyness to crush the real meaning of why we exist. So let’s pause, take a breath, and bring perspective.“And let the peace of Christ rule in your h...
light-of-jesusAugust 4, 2020
So there HS been this song on for a while now that somehow has become an “ear worm” and I’m walking around humming it all day. The song is good, but the message is better. It’s “Be a light” by Thomas Rhett, I think. Anyhow, since I can’t beat it I decided to dig into it...What does “be a light” m...
fearJuly 30, 2020
Don’t know about you, but the older I get the more I seem to fear change. The funny thing is, as I said yesterday, it’s usually resting of some false nothing of what this change may be. I remember being a kid and being afraid of going somewhere or doing something and I always wanted my dad with m...
fearJuly 29, 2020
What are you afraid of? For most of us, it’s usually something that isn’t really something we should be afraid of, but we have manifested it in our mind that we have created this fear from nothing. There is a great acronym I like regarding FEAR; False Evidence, Appearing, Real. You see most of ou...
reconciliationJuly 22, 2020
I had someone tell me years ago, “do you want to be happy or right?” Pretty good question I think, because we all want to be happy and we usually want to be right. Right? Think about the last argument you had, did you win? Did you prove you were right at the expense of the other person? You may h...
wanderingJuly 8, 2020
Ever noticed that those that seem to wander never seem to be settled? I guess what I am saying is that there are people we come across in our lives, could even be us, that never truly find peace and serenity in their lives because they keep looking for it. They keep trying to plot their own cours...
courageJuly 1, 2020
“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."Deuteronomy 31:6 You know, today I was thinking about what I fear and one of the fears was loneliness. I don’t think anyone wants to be lonely. But w...
peaceJune 9, 2020
Okay, so I wasn’t going to comment on the current racial tensions going on in America currently, but I can’t sit by and not say something so here it my take. Jesus died for us ALL, not just whites, not just black, not just brown or yellow people. ALL of us. And while all people have the right to...
graceJune 8, 2020
Y’all…I’m so sorry for sending it late yesterday. I was traveling yesterday, got up extra early to have this done. Well, I finished it, prepared it to send and forgot to send. Thanks to some of you who checked in on me to make sure I was ok. It makes me feel good knowing you look forward to these...
