It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. Psalm 18: 32 Sometimes we need guidance over tough terrain, and other times all we really need is some company. Vinita Hampton Wright It’s been said that up to 80% of working men and women hate their jobs. I believe it. From where I sit, this statistic is one of the saddest commentaries in life. To think that the setting where most people... Read more

You shall not go out with haste…for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard. Isaiah 52:12 One of the best ways to leave this year behind is to look toward the coming year with absolute dependence and confidence in the supernatural provision of God. In Oswald Chambers’ fine devotional, My Utmost for His Highest, Chambers succinctly tells us how we should look forward with faithful expectancy because... Read more

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3: 19-24 From the... Read more

Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

Tis The Season To Follow The Shepherd

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep... Read more

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 No person on this side of eternity lives a fear-free life. No one always operates out of the rest and security of faith in God. Every one of us has moments in which we lose our mind and our way. So here is the thing we must fight against: we must not allow fear to become the lens through which we view life... Read more

Always give thanks to God the Father for everything. Ephesians 5: 20 Like a fire that begins with a slow simmering burn before bursting into larger flames, so can we start with an ember of thanksgiving in our hearts that ignites within our hearts. In order for us to fan into flame the inner gift of thanksgiving, we need to begin by knowing to whom we give thanks. God, our Creator and Heavenly Father who made all... Read more

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Colossians 3:13 One of the biggest mistakes a mom or dad (grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, cousin, etc…) can make is to fail to take personal responsibility for their poor decisions as it affects the family. In some strange way, many adults believe that if they don’t... Read more

Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Depressed people, like all of us, are aware of kindness and love that is willing to sacrifice. Love always leaves its mark. As a result, depressed people who do best are cushioned by persevering love.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Philippians 4:4 As we step ever closer to election day here in the United States, it seems as though everyone is feeling the stress of the unknown outcomes that will take place. Individuals on either side of the ballot box are facing potentially momentous changes. Thus, the question of the day (and every day) is this – where do I find my joy? For the election outcome will...
