Hope and Quietly Wait
Waiting isn’t easy. But as I wait on the Lord’s guidance for a particular detail, I am learning again how to wait.
Long Patience
It can be easy to feel like our current season will never end, but God uses the simple process of planting and reaping to remind us that all the Christian’s seasons of “long patience”—and one in particular—will ultimately have a joyous end!
And His Name Shall Be Called
You are probably familiar with the names listed in Isaiah 9:6, but the Bible says that the name of the Lord is a strong tower, and this year I have been encouraged by how the names in Isaiah 9:6 can be a place of refuge throughout Christmas time and all the rest of the year, too!
Joy and Strength
“The Joy of the Lord is your strength” is one of the most quoted statements in Scripture. But it just scratches the surface of the truth being expressed in Nehemiah 8:10
A Lesson from the Grave Clothes
Grave clothes are symbols of death, instruments of burial, but the grave clothes used in Christ’s burial became something glorious and triumphant instead.
When Hope Turns Bitter
Proverbs 13:12 says that “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.” This is exactly what the Israelites experienced when they tasted the bitter water at Marah. What is God’s answer for hope turned bitter?
Givens and Not Givens
Everyone deals with longings for things they don’t have, or with things in their lives they wish they didn’t have. What we do with these “givens” and “not givens” of life will determine whether we are miserable or peaceful and fulfilled.
Old Wounds, New Growth
Try as we might, we cannot escape the hard things of life. Even if we keep from bringing heartache and brokenness upon ourselves, this world is still a broken place full of broken people: at some point we all will find ourselves with wounds we feel may never heal. How are we to respond?
My Refuge
It is easy to run to our close friends or family when faced with life’s difficulties or uncertainties, while forgetting that God Himself wants to be our refuge.
