The fact is, I know of nothing good living in me – living, that is, in my unspiritual self – for though the will to do what is good is in me, the performance is not, with the result that instead of doing the good things I want to do, I carry out the sinful…

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in…

We come to one of the most well known stories of the Bible. David and Goliath and the Lord. As I read it again in 1 Samuel 17, I couldn’t help but think of our grandson who loves ALL the super heroes! Like Goliath, they are outfitted with muscles and special powers of strength. Heroes…

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27. Jesus’ words to His disciples and to us today. In 1 Samuel 16 we read of an absence of peace. Even…

This morning in our early morning Prayer group, as we were praying for one another and for loved ones, I couldn’t help but appreciate how we were each of us needing what only God can provide. And look how He provides through each of us! Sharing our hearts of how God gets our attention through…

I couldn’t help but be struck by the contrast between what I read in 1 Samuel 12 and my Hearing God devotional. From Hearing God: Christ’s Faith as Our Faith – He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.…

But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands. Psalm 31:14-15. Sometimes when we look around at the world and circumstances we have no control over, it’s so easy to be overwhelmed. How could any good come out of this? God can seem so far away;…

It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. Galatians 2:20. How do we find that life? We ask. We ask God to come into our lives and help us to know Him and trust Him for everything. We give everything to Him. The One who created all things…
