Christmas for the Lonely
Loneliness at Christmastime is a widespread phenomenon, but God wants to use those feelings of emptiness to draw us to Himself.
Psalm 125:2 Surrounded and Protected
While Psalm 125:1 gives us the picture of stability and security, the next verse presents a picture of protection.
The Comfort of God’s Presence
The fact that God is present everywhere at all times is something we often know in our heads, but fail to take to heart. When we consider what God’s omnipresence means to us individually, that knowledge brings comfort and security to our hearts.
Be Still and Know
Ever struggle with the uncertainties of life? God knows we are prone to worry and fret over things we don’t understand or can’t control. Thankfully, He has given us exactly the instructions we need to know how to deal with life’s many uncertainties!
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?
No Shadow of Turning
James 1:17 is my go-to verse when times are good, but what about when trials come? Can we still rest in the Father of Lights from whom all good gifts come when we can’t see His hand of goodness?
God Knows and Cares
Whenever I feel overwhelmed or anxious, Psalm 103 helps me. But one set of truths from this comforting psalm recently came alive to me like never before.
A Purpose for the Pain
No one likes to experience pain. it’s, well, painful. While pain is unavoidable in this life, God has given us the promise that our pain is neither permanent nor purposeless.
Right Beside Me
We all have people we look up to, godly people who have mentored us and discipled us. But as Elisha found out, we cannot keep our “Elijahs” in our lives forever. What happens when we find ourselves facing life without a beloved mentor?
