There are moments when God is leading us in a direction and we hesitate because we are uncertain of the direction. The “what ifs” and other questions go through our mind. Many times we experience this type of situation even when we are given clear direction. I can only imagine how it was for Abraham … Continue reading The Land I Show You

The Welcoming Word
In Romans 10, Paul writes that salvation is all about the welcoming word—“Jesus is my Master.” This means that you embrace Jesus with all you have and you are calling out to God, trusting in Jesus and what He did for you. He said it really was not about doing anything. It was about the … Continue reading The Welcoming Word
Old Shorts
As you look through old clothing, you might find a pair of old shorts that are not even able to be donated. They are beyond salvageable. They are discolored. They are frayed. They have holes. The fabric is worn hard and perhaps stained. They are worthless. God had Jeremiah take a linen belt, or for … Continue reading Old Shorts

I get to sit on the sofa and read God’s Word and simply listen. I do the same … Continue reading Quietness and Confidence
Unless Your Faith is Firm
In today’s verse, God says, “Unless your faith is firm, I cannot make you stand firm.” The Message puts it this way: “If you don’t take your stand in faith, you won’t have a leg to stand on.” There was a great threat to David’s kingdom and they began to worry. Verse 2 says, “So … Continue reading Unless Your Faith is Firm
No Matter Who
In Romans 3, Paul wrote that whoever places their faith in Jesus Christ is made right with God, “no matter who.” When we read the first part of the verse, it is very easy to understand. The second half of the verse gives more clarity to the statement. “This is true for EVERYONE who believes, … Continue reading No Matter Who
