The Lord protects his own..

"because he loves me", says the Lord, " I will rescue him. I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. With long life, will I satisfy him, and show him...

When Jesus says “no”

Sometimes I think God looks down on us when his answer is "no" and shakes his head because of what he sees. He sees us stomping our feet and throwing a fit just as a child would. He sits back and watches this tantrum unfold as if we were back in preschool and the teacher...

He will satisfy

"The Lord will guide you always. He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be a well watered garden like a spring whose waters never fail" Isaiah 58:11 What a beautiful promise from the Lord! He will sustain us and satisfy us. He will fill us up...

Love your neighbors..

Is it just me or do you ever wonder what other people have going on in their lives? Today I decided to go to a local coffee shop to do my quiet time and to just spend some time in the word. As I sat drinking my coffee, I looked at the people around me....

Our Daily Bread..

Today as I was doing my devotion, I came across a verse that hit me pretty hard. "Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give only my daily bread"  Proverbs 30:8 "help me with this test", "Give me this car", "help me earn more money", the list can...

days like this…

It's 60 degrees outside and my inner fall self is going crazy. I absolutely love this weather! The leaves falling and the cool breeze just makes me want to curl up outside with a good book. I can't remember the last time I even had time for something like that.  I have never not had...

Fill me up

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord. My rock and my Redeemer." Psalms 19:14 Lord, Be with my words. Guard my heart and let all that I do bring praise and glory to you Father. Help me to grow through your word and walk closer...

There’s room at the table..

Some days I feel myself constantly feeling the need to fight for the attention of the Lord. I feel sometimes that I am getting left behind as others begin to excel or find their purpose in the Lord. There's days that I don't feel adequate and I feel as if my past regrets have made...

Not today Satan

When my husband told me he got a new job I was ecstatic. He's wanted this. We've prayed for this. We've trusted God with every fiber within us and finally we were beginning to see his plan unfold in front of our eyes. We were about to venture out on a new adventure which meant...
