Where are You God? I’m waiting!

Life does not always go according to plan. Expectations are not met, people disappoint and unexpected things happen. You cry out to God and it seems He is silent. You grow impatient, waiting for God to respond. Now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people assembled about […]

Short Term Gain, Long Term Pain

What do you do when things are not going how you want them to? It seems life just isn’t going your way. The things you hope for and desire are unfulfilled and feel as if they will never come to fruition. It seems God has forgotten you. The Israelites suffered from this same anxious feeling. […]

Creating Sabbath Rest

Junkyards across the country. Attics littered with forgotten treasures. Storage sheds filled with things once worshiped. Humanity continues to create new things to replace the old; new and innovative things today that add to the trash heap of tomorrow; new things that can become new idols to worship. This has been a part of human […]

Lingering with God

Sometimes when trials cause us to journey through the wilderness of life, we become impatient. We want things to change; we want to do something to change the situation. Yet we must be willing to linger longer, to wait on the Lord.
