As a mother, accepting that we aren’t in control is very difficult. During pregnancy you get to keep that precious child with you at all times. But the day comes when the baby is born, and suddenly, everything is a threat. You begin to worry about car accidents, sickness, falls, someone being mean to your… Continue reading Trusting God With Your Children

When You Are Not Grounded
John 18:38-39 says, “Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I… Continue reading When You Are Not Grounded
Relying on Jesus
In Luke chapter 5, we see Jesus teaching from the edge of Lake Gennesaret. There were fishermen on the shore washing their nets, which meant they were done fishing. The nets were heavy and large, so cleaning them took a lot of work. He got into Simon’s ship and told him to thrust out a… Continue reading Relying on Jesus
Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
I have been reading through the Old Testament for about a year now. The recurring theme is man’s sin, God’s grace, and redemption. Yes, there are lots of warnings and judgments, too, but we constantly see the Israelites straying from God. Their sin was idolatry. We all worship something. Idolatry started back in the Garden… Continue reading Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
Is God Against Happiness?
We’ve all heard the saying “God wants you to be holy, not happy.” I’m sure I’ve even said it myself. God does want us to be holy, set apart, etc. Our lives are to be a living sacrifice and a testimony of His goodness. There will be times in our lives, in the center of… Continue reading Is God Against Happiness?
But I’m an Adult!
How often have you said or thought, “But I’m an adult!” How often have you heard someone else say it? Usually, this comes from those who are 18-20 or someone who has been told they cannot or should not do something. Those in the first group try to prove their adulthood, maturity, responsibility, and respectability… Continue reading But I’m an Adult!
Submitting to Your Husband
I will be honest: I don’t know why God keeps putting this on my heart other than simply because someone needs it. Submission is not always easy; society will not encourage this, but it is biblical, and we need it. If you have been in church or Christian circles long, you have heard a message… Continue reading Submitting to Your Husband
What Are You Giving Up?
In Genesis chapter 25, we have the account of Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for pottage and lentils. If this passage is familiar, I want you to reread it and consider Esau’s position. He was the eldest son, which is why he had the birthright. In those days, this meant he was entitled to… Continue reading What Are You Giving Up?
Fear the Lord
Do you fear the Lord? Many of us need a better understanding of what it even means to fear the Lord. Often, people think that since God is love, we have no reason to fear Him. This is true, but only when we misuse the word fear. We will see that we fear Him because… Continue reading Fear the Lord
The Path of Spiritual Adultery
Spiritual Idolatry and Adultery I read through Hosea for my personal devotions. There’s so much there when you really look at the life of Hosea, think of how he felt, and see how it fits into Bible Prophecy. Here, we see that Israel, like Gomer, had played the harlot. As a nation they abandoned God.… Continue reading The Path of Spiritual Adultery
