Wait and trust are the two hardest words in the English language to put into practice. But until we learn to wait and trust we won’t be victorious in the attacks Satan launches against us. Consider Saul, and man chosen by God to be king over Israel. For a while things were going swimmingly. But […]

When it comes right down to it when we have to decide which direction we’ll take in life, what will we choose? Will we take the way of the world, the way that’s easiest and often times without controversy, or will we choose the road less traveled, the road of holiness and righteousness. This was […]

When you woke up this morning did you know God only gave you 86,400 seconds in today’s bank of time? The only bad part about this time bank is no interest is ever earned. Once a second is over there’s no getting it back, nor can you put it away to earn more. There’s no […]

How long will it take before we finally get it? Take a look at the story of God’s call on Moses’ life. “Then Moses answered and said, ‘But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’ So the Lord said to him […]

And indeed, having examined […]

Most of you have either been the perpetrator or the victim of short sheeting. It’s where someone halved the bottom sheet on a bed making it look like it’s properly made and ready to take in the weary, but instead they find such rest impossible. In a sense this is what God did to the […]

In one of the most gut-churning Psalm written by David, Psalm 31, David is in agony. Both his mental and physical body is going through turmoil that’s sapping his strength. Listen to his words, “My eye wastes away with grief, yes, my soul and my body! For my life is spent with grief … my […]

“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12 NIV) Today’s thought was, “Asking God to help us number our days is not a game; rather it’s a sure bet.” Therefore, we need to ask the Lord for the wisdom to restore and repurpose our lives. “Restore […]

In the eighth chapter of Nehemiah we’re introduced to what God’s word can do when His people read and understand its words. After the work on the wall was completed, the Jews were hungry.
