Who Are You Pleasing?
Am I trying to win over human beings or God? Or am I trying to please people? Galatians 1:10a Last week I was talking to my BFF. I mentioned that I have to be mindful of not “people pleasing”. It is funny that after all these years, I can struggle with this. I also thinkContinue reading “Who Are You Pleasing?”
Prayer for Perseverance

Peace in Heaviness
You will keep in perfect peace, all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) The title alone seems like a dichotomy right?

Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness. (Proverbs 25:5 CEB) I have a question for you: how often do you pray to God? And as a follow up, do you pray for your leaders? After I read this proverb a couple of days ago, I began thinkingContinue reading “Pray for Leaders”
Famine in the Land

The days are coming,”declares the Lord God, when I will send a famine throughout the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water—but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.People will stagger from sea to sea, from north to east.They will run back and forth, searching for a message from the Lord, but theyContinue reading “Famine in the Land”
Prayer
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. (Colossians 4:2) Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. (Romans 8:26) Prayer– such a powerful word often misused orContinue reading “Prayer”
Delight in His Nearness
For day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God. Isaiah 58: 2 (BSB) I chuckled when I saw this image forContinue reading “Delight in His Nearness”
