April 3, 2025
Not only do I choose to be a believer for my eternal salvation, but so that God can make miracles happen in my life.You see, every time I have tried and figure things out myself, I’ve failed. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my intentions were always good but my plan was mine. And in my unconscious attemp...
repentanceApril 2, 2025
I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, I got to thinking about how we can get stuck in the bad. I’m talking about that “stop the world I just want to get off this ride” feeling. We’ve all had it, I’m on it now, but what do we do to get o...
words-matterApril 1, 2025
So, it’s April Fools’ Day, and as an adult child myself, I look forward to the stupid jokes and fake rumors and “gotchas”. But this date always reminds me of just how fast rumors and words can spread and just how harmful they can be. You see the Bible mentions that in the multitude of words, sin...
patienceMarch 31, 2025
A simple thought to start your week…We live in a world that is going by so fast that finding patience is becoming a lost art. However, one of the best ways to be patient is to carry on with life, knowing God is in control...not you. I will say it one more time, “God is in control, not you.” “Not...
prayerMarch 28, 2025
“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness), and because he gave it, I am filled with His grace. God has me covered...
peaceMarch 27, 2025
Peace and serenity. We all seek it, we all crave it and we all need it. But where is it exactly? You may be like me and think it’s just in the absence of noise or conflict. But it’s not in the absence those things. It’s the tranquil feeling that’s not dependent on you circumstances. The peace we...
words-matterMarch 26, 2025
You ever opened your mouth and said something you wish you didn’t? Maybe it was out of anger or maybe it was meant to be harmless but without thinking it came out wrong and hurt others? I swear, I do it sometimes without thinking and can’t believe myself afterwards…a lot is tied to my odd sense o...
spiritual-growthMarch 25, 2025
Well, spring has sprung as my allergies have alerted me of this fact. Anyhow, I’m randomly thinking I needed to wash my plane due to the long winter and pollen, I reminded myself of a saying I heard somewhere along the way that said, “it’s not clean until a rags hit it”. Got me thinking that this...
forgivenessMarch 24, 2025
So hear’s a thought…I’ve been talking last week about forgiving and how we can and should. But do you want others to forgive you? Even more importantly, do you want God to forgive you? My cousin and I talked about this just last night. You see, in order to be forgiven, you also have to be able to...
forgivenessMarch 21, 2025
In keeping with forgiveness, nobody ever suggested forgiving would be easy. I certainly didn’t and I’m not saying it is, because it’s not. But God challenges us by giving us the ability to forgive. But at the same time, it is one of the hardest things He asks us to do. But you can learn to forgiv...
forgivenessMarch 20, 2025
You ever heard someone say, “that person’s hurt me so many times there’s no way I could ever forgive them”? I have...I may have thought it a time or two as well. Maybe you have? “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against...
anxietyMarch 19, 2025
I seem to find myself on this topic a lot…maybe I’m telling myself this? Maybe it’s just important enough it bears more attention? Maybe someone messaged me yesterday and told me this is just what they needed right now and it’s helping them a lot…and for that, I’m grateful, so here’s more on the...
worryMarch 18, 2025
I love days when I get to introduce new followers to our morning devotional. Through attraction and not promotion, God has helped my little efforts grow now since September of 2018. In doing so yesterday, I got the chance to talk about my dad…"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your li...
callingMarch 17, 2025
For much of my life I was a bit directionless. If someone asked me to do something and if it even kind of felt like a good idea, I would do it. I spread myself pretty thin. Because I could turn my hand to a number of things (to a certain degree) I was tempted to follow other people’s dreams and e...
faithMarch 14, 2025
Well, we’ve made it to Friday. It’s been a weird week for me for sure. But something stood out this week that’s been eating on me. I had a conversation with a guy I know and he referred to something that clearly had God’s hands written all over it as, “that’s just good Juju…” whatever that means....
joyMarch 13, 2025
Jesus said in John 16:33, “In this world, you will have trouble…”That’s almost like a disclaimer for life on earth , you are going to have trouble, whether you are in Christ or not. But the hope that we have is what separates us from the world, and that is why Jesus goes on to say, “But take hear...
perseveranceMarch 12, 2025
This life isn’t easy, in fact it’s hard. We all have struggled and we all have failed but we must move on...“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my...
purityMarch 11, 2025
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.”Matthew 23:25-26 So, are we really th...
identityMarch 10, 2025
So I had a great conversation down in Florida over the weekend with a buddy on this devotional chain about the different stages we’ve been through in life as it pertained to “stuff” we acquired. And when I mean stuff, I’m talking about the fancy cars and expansive homes, etc. We basically conclud...
patienceMarch 7, 2025
Let keep talking about listening to God and looking for his answers. “for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”James 1:3-4 Look, I think it’s pretty evident that God sp...
prayerMarch 6, 2025
So, I think it’s safe to say we all pray in some capacity for something, right? I would also think it’s fair to say that we are waiting for God to answer our prayers. We are constantly searching for that answer and to “hear” Gods answers for us. But here’s the thing; God isn’t the problem when it...
wordsMarch 5, 2025
Let’s talk about the words that come out of our mouths for a moment. I know for sure we’ve talked about it before, but sometimes I need to hear it again for myself. These words we use can be from in person speech to the written word…they can also be from how we respond to someone’s comments as we...
gods-powerMarch 4, 2025
We serve a BIG GOD! What does this mean? It means God will work His purposes in your life even when people say He is not supposed to do it. It means in the midst of your darkest hour God will perform the miracle everyone deems impossible. It’s happened to me. God is going to do it when all of hel...
disappointmentMarch 3, 2025
I got to thinking about something over the weekend…do you ever feel like you could just scream or punch something? Man, sometimes life and people will disappoint you, let you down and just have you shaking your head...I think is happens to us all at times. Happened to me yesterday. You see, no ma...
