We know the story. A dozen spies were sent into the Promised Land to check out what God had promised to give the Israelites. Five-sixths (almost 85%) of the spies choked…they couldn’t believe the promise. We are called to be different! The majority chose fear over faith and brought a negative report back to the people. Anything not of faithContinue reading “Faith Delivers. Fear Kills.”

Always Too Soon to Quit
Sharing a reminder given in our faith class this week: As Abraham climbed the mountain with Isaac…in obedience to what he understood from God…the ram was climbing up the opposite side. If Abraham had stopped short of the summit, he never would have seen the provision of God or understood the Promise fully. Read theContinue reading “Always Too Soon to Quit”
Walking with the Leader!
Walking with Scout certainly taught me many lessons. Walking with Scout, Cooper and Barnabas has continued the process. Personalities, self-centeredness, leadership and unity are three major challenges we tackle every time we go out for a walk. Trying to walk 150+ pounds of dog is helping me walk out the requirements of God as statedContinue reading “Walking with the Leader!”
More than what you see…
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 What we don’t see matters more than what is glaringly obvious. Battling weight issues has taught me much over the years. Made in the image of God, we human beings have three parts as well: body, soul andContinue reading “More than what you see…”
Life shows what we believe
Just sharing the morning challenge God gave me: “What do you really believe?” Jesus told Nicodemeus that we have to be born of earth and heaven to see the Kingdom of God. This earthly life has great purpose and value. Jesus came that we would have abundant life. I cannot live abundantly by hiding from theContinue reading “Life shows what we believe”
What Power Source Do You Rely On?
The electric went out this morning…and all of us were immediately aware of its absence. The computer screen went blank; the fish filter went silent. We took notice. Can you imagine if our spiritual walk was that tuned in? As believers, the Holy Spirit is our power source. We can do nothing without Him: Yes,Continue reading “What Power Source Do You Rely On?”
We cannot give what we will not receive.
Every good and perfect gift comes from our Father in heaven. Those who long to serve the Father must receive from Him. That doesn’t sound like a difficult aspect of servanthood, does it? In reality, it is very difficult and demands great faith! By this time in Moses’ life, he already had learned some high-levelContinue reading “We cannot give what we will not receive.”
When his desires are not yours…my journey to the Promised Land
It wasn’t my dream. It wasn’t my desire. There were sound reasons not to do it. Yet, one Sunday morning before church began, I felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit. “You are not allowing God to answer your prayers. You pray for your husband to be the leader of your home, but you want toContinue reading “When his desires are not yours…my journey to the Promised Land”
