Today’s Scripture: Job 42:5 ESV; I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; Life can be painful and hard. As I reflected on God’s people of old this morning I felt their struggles of life. Our ancestors in the faith did not live in ease and comfort. They lived the battles of life; yet in all they came to know and see ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I am going where God has shown me.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 143:8 ESV; Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. “I should go.” These words jumped off the page as I praised God for His steadfast love in the morning. If I have already experienced His love in a past and present sense, could I ... Continue Reading »

Today’s Scripture: Jonah 1:6 ESV; So the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call out to your god!

Today’s Scripture: Luke 17:5 ESV; The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" The apostles living and walking with Jesus knew they didn’t have the faith He required. We don’t either. The Good News of Jesus Christ is that He is the author and finisher of our faith and He will increase our faith if we ask. Jesus says we just need to have ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I am filled with the fullness of God.
Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 3:19 ESV: and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Do we really grasp what being filled with the fullness of God is all ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I am confident in God.
Today’s Scripture: Philippians 1:6 NASB; For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
