“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” - I Thessalonians 5:18 Thankfulness is easy when things are going well. In trials? It doesn’t come quite so naturally. Yet we’ve been told quite bluntly that we’re to give thanks in everything. In case we’re scratching our [...]

He Gave up the Glory of Heaven

He gave up the glory of heaven for a stable. What was He thinking? How many of us would make that choice? Would we choose to leave a glorious mansion for a drafty barn or a cardboard box under an overpass? Would we trade a pillow-topped mattress with a warm down comforter for a rough blanket [...]

“If you think of this world as a place simply intended for our happiness, you find it quite intolerable: think of it as a place for training and correction and it’s not so bad.” ― C.S. Lewis I’ve always loved the writings of C.S. Lewis, so when I came upon this quote, I just knew [...]
God Is Bigger Than the Storm!

“Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead, tell the storm how big your God is.” This is a quote from an unknown source that a friend posted on Twitter. Isn’t it just great? It’s so easy to complain to God about how big the storms in our lives have become. We forget too [...]

Affliction’s Gift by Tabitha Joy The Psalmist cried out to God, “Before I was afflicted I went astray. But now I trust in Your Word.” (Psalms 119:67) I certainly identify with that statement. It was easy to wander before I found myself in this present affliction. Now my suffering renders me helpless and in a constant [...]
Turning Lemons into Lemonade
Posted in Devotional on August 2, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Turning lemons into lemonade. It’s an expression that could be used to describe my vacation. I guess it fit. Lemon number one was a flat tire before I even reached the toll road. After an hour and a half delay, and a good chunk of change, my perky Toyota Yaris was zipping along the highway, [...]
Facing Reality with Faith

“Many people think the answer to worry is to pretend there is nothing to worry about. But the only way to deal with worry effectively is to face reality and then choose to face reality with faith.” (Author unknown) This was a quote a friend posted on Facebook. Simple, yet profound. There are times in life [...]

The Master Architect

“For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.” Psalms 103:14 When we feel frail, when we feel like the wolf from The Three Pigs could come in and blow us over, there’s comfort in knowing that the Master Architect knows our frame. He remembers that we were made from mere dust. There’s [...]
