Friday Faith

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever. – Psalm 111:10 (NASB)

Prayer Journey — Be Still

Concern rises from within me, nudging me to act. Worry infiltrates my mind, creating all kinds of scenarios that may or may not exist. An innumerable number of what-if’s spring forth to pollute my mind. Yet deep inside of me there is a faint whisper. It is barely audible above the noise and commotion of […]

The Tension in Your Life

The rope tightens; there is no more slack. You pull as hard as you can in your direction, but something pulls in the opposite direction. You fight it, not giving in, pulling with every last bit of strength you have left. You feel the tug from the other side, but you resist. Your body weakens […]

Blessings That Spur a Fear of the Lord

The blessings that God bestowed on Israel were not for their own enjoyment, rather it was so that other nations would know God and his salvation. As the last verse of the Psalm 67 states, “May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.”

Prayer Journey — Remaining Days

Help me Lord to remain close to you and your desire for my remaining days. Help me to prioritize your will over my will. May my desires become your desires. May your light shine through me to those who wander in darkness in search of you. May I bring peace, your peace to those anxious […]
