No human should have to carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us do.
Let’s remind our hearts that God is good at being God. And we can trust Him at all times.
This blog post is as much for me as it is for anyone reading it. Sometimes its really hard to articulate something so close to your heart in the moment. But I know God’s truth is trustworthy and our Lord is faithful. I hope and… https://t.co/bZmtadp2EO
Rather than exiled to a faraway land, we are relegated to the four walls of our homes. It’s a new kind of exile. We’ve been uprooted from what we once knew and are now planted in unfamiliar circumstances. Life looks different, but… https://t.co/cdHH4yAZFC
@NickiKoziarz This morning I read Ezekiel 3:23-27 and thought wow! How tough for a prophet to be kept from his one calling. “Shut within his house...” But...God gave him words in due time. In God’s time, for God’s purpose. Hope this is as encouraging for you as it is for me.
We tend to get very attached to outcomes of our own making. Meanwhile, God loves us enough to be working on a better plan.
With God there is always a meanwhile. You may be facing a hard reality. But never forget what our good God is doing in the unseen is also reality.
PSA: Coronavirus, an unstable economy, mass cancelations, and even your own fears are NOT powerful enough to mess up God’s plan for your life (or for your business).
That’s all.
It's our response to suffering that makes us strong. When we respond with faith and gratefulness rather than fear and resentment, our courage grows, our perseverance blossoms, and we mount up on wings like eagles! So, hang in there, friend.
We can whisper prayers as we wash the dishes. We can focus on God’s goodness as we fold clothes. We can dream for our child’s future as we change diapers. We can find good in today.
Every day is good because it is a gracious gift from God.
The Greek origin of the word charisma is kharis, meaning favor and grace. I am not sure when the word charisma started sounding more like a character flaw than something of fleeting beauty, but I am glad to set it straight. https://t.co/glbyl3thXc
I’ve got to admit the thought of pulling in a massive net full of fish sounds like more work than I have the strength to handle. It is a lot easier to sit in the warm sand with friends like me and watch my favorite fishing boat… https://t.co/8hLmUJztqA
“If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan” Jeremiah 12:5
Read it again as if God is speaking… https://t.co/TCGw58uzGH
What are we supposed to do when we don’t know even know where to begin? I could give you the easy Christian answer. Pray. Study God’s Word. Worship. And oh, seek wise counsel. But the truth is, I’ve done all that and the only clear… https://t.co/BptUi2RPxn
It’s World Lupus Day. A day to make the world aware of lupus. So many of us are reminded every day. The best way to get the word out is to share your lupus story. So I am sharing mine. It… https://t.co/heBjBhi09x
