Worry Is Like A Rocking Chair ….
“Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives us something to do but we don’t go anywhere.” That's a fun anonymous quip, but unfortunately it's true. In our minds we think worry takes us somewhere "good" but actually it's fruitless and powerless. Many times we don't even...

Jesus Can Be Our “Tent Peg” in This Uncertain Time
Recently, someone commented on a blog post of mine from 2016. I was so blessed that somehow a woman found my post and the Lord used it to minister to her. I couldn't remember much from what I wrote about the Bible's reference to "tent peg" so I looked up my post. As I...

To Have More Peace, Know God in Truth
If someone asked me, "What is the primary way to have more peace in this turbulent time?" I would answer, "Know who God is in truth." We all "know" God but often what we think we know or believe about Him is incorrect. When we know the truth about Him, we experience...
God’s Question For Every Fear

Beware of Bible Breaks
Beware of Bible breaks. You know what those are. Bible breaks are the headings describing the content of a grouping of Scripture verses. The problem is they can give the impression a new thought is starting. And sometimes it is but often it's not. Chapter divisions...
God Cares about Your Cries for Help. Hannah Knows!
God really does care about your cries for help. Hannah knows and so does Jesus. I know that also. Two very significant times in my life I desperately cried out to God more than others. In the beginning, it seemed God didn't care and didn't even hear me. Like Hannah, I...
