For All

Our hope is not found in our circumstances, our abilities, or other peope. Our hope is found in the Lord Himself. A farmer plants his seed long before he sees a harvet. He continues to water and care for the field because he expects the crop to come. His confidence is based on what he knows. Why do we need hope? There will be days when life seems overwhelming. David experienced fear, loneliness, and persecution, yet he continually turned back to God- waiting and expecting hel

Have you ever been in a dark tunnel? At first all you see is darkness, but then, far ahead, you notice a small light. That light give you confidence that the darkness will not last forever. Life often brings dark valleys of sickness, sorrow, disappointment, and uncertainty. During those times, God calls us to place our hope in Him. The psalmist in Psalms 43:5 says, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet prai

Ecclesiastes 4:13“Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.” Have you become resistant to correction? Or are you unwilling to change? The moment you stop accepting counsel and admonition is the moment you stop growing. A teachable spirit is one of the greatest marks of wisdom. Proverbs 11:14“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Counsel is defined as advice, opinion, or i

On a clear night, you can look up into our beautiful Milky Way Galaxy and see the star Deneb. This star is one of the brightest stars we can see in our galaxy, even though it is approximately 2,000 light-years away. Scientists believe that to be about 9 quadrillion miles! (That would be 9,000,000,000,000,000 if you'd like to count those zeros!) As a reference point, the International Space Station is only about 250 miles above the Earth. Can you imagine the care God has, that

II Samuel 22:2-3 “...The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour;...” Trust. What a simple, small word… but what does it mean? Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines trust as: Confidence; a reliance or resting of the mind on the integrity, veracity, justice, friendship or other sound principle of another person. This begs the question- in who

James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him." Let's face it- with our technology driven society, we know a lot of things. We can google almost anything, learn anything, apply ourselves to anything... I remember when I was 18 years old, I hired someone to change the brakes on my car. I was going to be gone, so I left the brake pads and car for them to get the job done. I returned to a

"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgement: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." I John 4:16-18 God is love. That's what the scripture says. But not just any love,
