303 devotionals in Trust
July 31, 2023
Back to it! I was on vacation last week for our anniversary but it’s time to get back to the grind. I was thinking about what I wanted to talk about this morning when for some reason the promise of the Psalm of David, Psalm 23 popped in my head. “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He make...
inner-peaceJuly 27, 2023
23It’s 5:15 am as I write this morning and I’m sitting here by the water watching God wake up the world. The waves are gently crashing and the morning sky is slowly glowing pink. It’s so peaceful…makes me wish it could stay this way. Perpetual peace. Ever felt this way?We live in a world where th...
peaceJuly 14, 2023
Are you truly experiencing the Lord’s peace in your life?In both Hebrew and Greek, the words for peace have a similar meaning. They mean that you have an inner calm. Things might be falling apart around you, but inside you can experience tranquility. You’re as cool as the other side of the pillow...
forgivenessJuly 4, 2023
Isn’t it crazy how we can let the littlest thing someone does to us, intentionally or not, ruin our whole day? Happens to me all the time. Could be anything, a dumb question, solicitor call, unexpected reports or paperwork, you name it. A lot of times, it throws us off so much we can’t wait to te...
forgivenessJuly 3, 2023
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...
independenceJune 28, 2023
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m pretty dang independent. If independent is defined by stubborn and bull headed, then yep, that’s me. It’s so stupid too. I know I need to bring God into everything I do, but without fail I will embark on “whatever” and before you know it I’m frustrated and beatin...
sufferingJune 26, 2023
I got to thinking about last weeks talks of “doing good” and how it seems there is this weird idea of God Karma or something some people have. What I mean by that is it seems as though we can fall into the trap of thinking if we do good, God will reward us with good stuff. Conversely, if we don’t...
trustJune 20, 2023
Look, most of us have large expectations for our life and what it’s going to looks like. What it looks like for each of us varies as much as the differences in each of us. That’s ok. Whatever our ambitions, most of us have at least some idea of what our futures might hold.All well and good. But t...
waitingJune 19, 2023
We ended the week talking about waiting. This is a tough one for me and so I’ve continued my dive into this idea that I can somehow learn to “wait” or be “patient” for what’s to come. I have to remember that time and time again, we are told to wait and “it” will be revealed. Just as John the Bapt...
waitingJune 16, 2023
So, yesterday I mentioned I was reminded that God’ s timing is perfect. And while I have to agree, it’s the time before that “perfect timing” that is the most difficult. I know it is for me. Think about when you aren’t where you used to be but not yet where you want to be. And you find yourself i...
letting-goJune 15, 2023
You know, it’s amazing how things will magically fall into place when you loose the illusion of control. You see, when you try and control everything, you enjoy nothing. So, no matter what your going through today, what you’re dealing with today...relax, breathe, let go and just really try and li...
gods-willJune 9, 2023
I was thinking yesterday about what I’ve written in the past about God’s “no” and how we respond. The thing is the more I thought about it the more I realized not only is God saying no to us and our plan, he is in fact saving us from ourselves! Think about it, what would your life be like if ever...
gods-planMay 30, 2023
I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it’s a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably not alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew a...
prideApril 25, 2023
I had a great conversation with one of my friends and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we believe in our own selves and stop relying on God. You see this is caused by or led by Pride, the first sin. Pride tells us that we can do what want and we are enamored with ourse...
waitingApril 19, 2023
You ever feel like your waiting for God’s plan for you? I sure do, but what if all this waiting isn’t really us waiting for God but rather Him waiting for us? What I am getting at is who is actually doing the waiting? We may think it’s us, but we could be wrong. Think about when Abraham asked God...
disappointmentApril 10, 2023
If you’ve ever competed in anything or spent much time trying to accomplish anything, then I’m sure you’re familiar with disappointment. I say this jokingly, because clearly we’ve all had disappointments in our lives. However, the disappointments we face can either keep us where we are or catapul...
surrenderApril 7, 2023
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...
gods-sovereigntyApril 4, 2023
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”Proverbs 16:9 ESVMost of us do the best we can in the ways we've been taught. Family traditions, business training, and life experiences pretty much shape who we are and how we think. Regardless of our upbringing or professional...
disappointmentMarch 20, 2023
Have you ever been disappointed? Of course you have. Ever been disappointed in yourself? Uh…yeah. No question we all have and it can come from many different things. We can be disappointed in other people, events or even disappointed in ourselves when things don’t go the way we expected or we act...
forgivenessMarch 17, 2023
You know, we spend a lot of time as Christians going down different paths of Christianity. I do it here sometimes, but as a layman when it comes to Gods word, I always seem to find myself back to the two Great Commandments. Love the Lord with all your heart and soul and love your neighbor as your...
sufferingMarch 15, 2023
Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s face it, we all do it. We lose a job promotion, a competition didn’t go our way, we experience a death in the family, personal injury or financial hardships. This list is long...we all have them. Life’s hard. "God, why did you let that h...
prayerMarch 10, 2023
How many times a day do we see and hear people ask for prayer, say they prayed or given the response after something bad happens, “my thoughts and prayers are with you”? I’d say it happens daily and I say it too. While clearly nothing is wrong with it and prayer is an amazing thing, using it as a...
self-sufficiencyMarch 8, 2023
I’m pretty independent when it comes to feeling like “I can do it”. In fact, I kind of grew up with the attitude of, “if you want it some right, do it yourself!” Maybe you share some of these traits? Come to think of it, I’d say our whole society has become a DIY (do it yourself) society. Think a...
changeFebruary 24, 2023
Man, times sure have changed. I think about it almost daily. Maybe it’s a sign over my getting older reflecting back on how things “use to be”, or maybe it’s just a natural response to the changing seasons of a life. You see, I think that like the changing seasons of our planet, life is like that...
