Why Do Some Problems Linger
There are people we meet in this lifetime who seem to have everything going for them.  We watch while they make good grades in school and job opportunities come very easily for them.  They get married and have a nice home and family.  Money is not an issue for them. ...
More Precious Than Gold
The gold we wear on our finger or around our neck is a beautiful example of the finest metal.  It didn’t become precious in an instant.  It took lots of steps along the way. It starts from the ground up.  From the ground or in a mine there is a beautiful nugget...
Whispering Hope
Has it ever been you needed an answer from God so badly you would jump at anything?  You pray and immediately look for signs.  The louder the better, seems like.  However the immediate answers that come with a bang are not always what they promise to be. There are...
When All Seems Lost
As each day unfolds we hear more and more about devastating disasters.  Hurricanes and tidal waves are happening more often.  Earthquakes are almost a daily occurrence somewhere in the world from minor tremors to deadly shake ups.  Fires from lightning or other...

Pride Goes Before Destruction
Pride will get us in trouble no matter the situation.  It is an evil thing that comes straight from the devil.  Pride comes in so many forms it’s impossible to name all of them.   There are examples of obvious pride accompanied by a narcissist attitude boasting their way to the top position of a corporation.  A talented person always wanting to be seen will compete and usually win any solo opportunities while shutting others out.  There are people in various organizations who will...
Prosperity Of Evil Doers
Have you ever wondered why evil people get by with evil doings?  Most people have wondered the same thing.  These people go on about their evil deeds making things difficult for you.  You pray and seek God’s will yet the fiery darts continue to hit where it does the most damage. The spiritual answer is that the evil people are under the control and mind set of the devil.  They have no remorse over evil deeds and punishment always excludes them.  Even if they get a reprimand they...
Just Call His Name
Jesus is His name.  In times when we need to hear from God He is here.  He speaks from the heavenly realm and sometimes it’s hard to embrace His presence in earthly understanding.  When we need to hear from Him and when He seems so far away we observe the breath taking beauty all around that only God can make. The beautiful sunsets are a glorious reminder that just a few hours away a new day will dawn on time.  We can count on God to minister in a way we need it most.  During times...
Truth That Heals
Shakespeare stated long ago; To thine own self be true.  This is by far the best advice we can give to ourselves.  How often do we tell a partial truth or involve ourselves in something we shouldn’t then battle our consciences over it for days?  Do we really get by with something?  Not really….. While we spend a lot of time justifying to ourselves good reasons for doing what we should not have done, we are wasting moments we should spend on more productive things. Could it be that the tugging...

A Not So Joyful Noise

Has it ever been where you just want to be still and listen out for the silent voice of God.  Something major has just happened in your life and you want to find peace.  You may have just lost a parent or child.  You may have just gotten news from the doctor that the ailment...

Alone With God

Sometimes our minds can be filled with such turmoil we wonder if stillness can ever happen to us.  Even Jesus escaped from the multitudes from time to time just to be still and know God.  Stillness and meditation on the love of God is where we regain strength.  Yes, there are...

Being Accused And Used

Have you ever been in a situation where you are left holding the bag?  You do all the work while others are always on break.  You stay late while the rest go home early.  You have no recourse while other people always have a recourse against you.  You have...
