Waiting In Silence

Learning to wait takes discipline however, waiting in silence requires yet more. Often, we don’t do very well when required to wait. Many times we do it noisily through complaining or grumbling, often falling into a “why me” mindset. In my experience, when I’ve allowed anxious thoughts to dictate my responses to situations I could not control, I was faced with great disappointment. In reaching this point, I unconsciously chose fear over faith as my constant companion.

Rejoicing In God's Forgiveness

Sometimes, we say or do things unintentionally that hurt others, especially those closest to us. The moment we take the step to make right what we’ve done, seeking forgiveness and restoration, joy and satisfaction fill our hearts. How much more knowing that when we have sinned against God, He readily forgives us when we come to Him in humble repentance? But you may ask how can God forgive my sins, when I’ve done evil in His sight?

Freedom From Our Inner Prison

Have you felt trapped or imprisoned by circumstances beyond your control? Are you being held hostage by fears and anxious thoughts? Many psalms begin with the psalmists pleading to God for help in their distress and finish with echoes of praise to God even when they had yet to see deliverance. What was their secret?

Walk By Faith

There are times when God tests our faith. He often tests our faith when we cannot see what lies ahead. God often does not work according to our preconceived ideas. He doesn’t initially reveal all the details. How can we move forward and rust God when we can’t see what lies ahead?

A Clearer Vision

One question that often arises is why does God allow suffering? There is so much I still do not know and much that I still don’t understand. I cannot be so quick in my conclusions or my responses; I recognize that I don’t have a complete picture (or panoramic view) of all God is doing in my life and the world around me. It is true of all of us, for we are all limited in understanding and knowledge of the future. Job’s suffering caused him to question God and what God was doing in his life. Do you find yourself in the same place as Job?

Trusting God’s Will

We all have dreams and aspirations for the future, but what if God showed us that He has a different and better plan? Would we be willing to do God's will, whatever the cost, knowing that it will be worth it all in the end?

Where Do You Place Your Trust?

In times of trials, where do you place your trust when anxious thoughts threaten to overwhelm you? Do you rely on yourself and others in difficult moments? We all go through moments of fear and doubt at the onset of a trial. The question becomes where and who we will run to when in trouble.

Desperate Yet Not In Despair

We have all experienced moments when it seemed as though we have no strength to move forward. The battle raging within us and around us seems overwhelming and ongoing without an end in sight; we are unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Our eyes fail from searching out God’s word. It’s like when we look into the Scriptures for comfort, but it seems more like empty words on a page. What we seek is to be released from our agony. In desperation, we may have asked God, When will you comfort me? When will you come to my aid?

Is Obedience Optional?

Giving into the demands of another runs contrary to our human nature. Instead, we rather give into our instincts than listen to the voice of reason and wise counsel. We desire to be masters of our destiny, preferring to do it our way, not realizing what it will cost in the long run. Obeying God is not optional, and here’s why...
