My daughter won free tickets from Beth Moore to attend her live conference in San Diego April 2018! We’re both so excited!!#LPM#SanDiego#Excited#momanddaughter
@BethMooreLPM We go through the same thing with living out in the country. And the worse part is that our neighbor shoots off illegal fireworks too and he’s a retired sheriff! Never gets cited. Hmm.
We never feel more hopeless in a tough situation than when we run out of ideas to give God for how to fix it. He doesn’t want suggestions. He wants our full attention. What obstacle is a human impasse to the One who can pave a dry road in a sea and shoot a geyser from solid rock?
When listening to KLove, the DJ said these words. I believe she was quoting someone else. “Everyone you see is loved by God.” A good perspective checker. #klove#reflectionchecker#agoodreminderforusall
Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4: 6-7
In the light of day, it's easy to know where we're going. We see the road. Everything looks familiar. Then darkness falls & we no longer have any clue where we are. Worse yet, we don't know where God is. SIT DOWN. He knows where you are. You have a Father & He's not mad. SIT DOWN
And he sat. In just minutes the headlights of a jeep shone right on him & from the dust-cloud of the dirt road came a voice."Son? You OK? It's Daddy." In the beams of light, he'd unknowingly sat down right in the middle of the dirt road where his dad could not help but find him.
The crisis of the American church at this critical hour is that we know the issues & our stands better than we know Jesus. Our compromised public witness & rhetoric suggest we’ve confused knowing about Jesus with knowing Jesus. Being with Him is prerequisite to thinking like Him.
Life is brutal.
And beautiful.
And harsh.
And holy.
Jesus is at all times good. He is at all times life, truth, love, light.
He is the way and the way-maker.
He is at all times near, especially to the brokenhearted.
He is joy in tribulation.
He is Immanuel.
He is God with us.
