Entitled to a Happy Life?
The tendency as a child of God is to assume that God’s care for us will only ever entail what we view as “good.” God is certainly good in His dealings with us, but is a perfectly happy life really what the Bible teaches us to expect?
When God’s Answer is No
Has God ever answered your prayer with a “no”? I was recently reminded just how merciful God’s answers to prayer are—especially when His answer is no.
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.
Justice or Vengeance?
In reading through the book of 1 Samuel this week, I was struck by David’s response when circumstances seemed perfect for him to take revenge on the man who had literally been trying to kill him.
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.
Trusting God Through Affliction
When we are experiencing affliction of any kind, it can be easy for our view of who God is to become distorted. So how can we stay close to God during a trial? Psalm 119:75-76 shows us the trusting response of a heart close to God through its time of affliction.
