Pentecost

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. (Romans 8:11 NIV) Happy Resurrection! May you always rise with the Son!

Seeing the “Good” in Good Friday

https://videopress.com/v/GDiOQk1j?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true We wouldn't see the "Good" in Good Friday if it wasn't for Resurrection Sunday. We don't always understand the purpose behind our own suffering and pain until we experience our own resurrection, too. Here's your Good Friday reminder that "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who loveContinue reading "Seeing the “Good” in Good Friday"

More Than a Conqueror

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ In any case, I mustContinue reading "More Than a Conqueror"

In Quietness and Trust

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says..."in quietness and trust is your strength." (Isaiah 30:15 NIV) Photo by Jure u0160iriu0107 on Pexels.com In the busyness and noise of life, we've forgotten what it means to trust God patiently and quietly. Just like the Israelites in Isaiah 30, we're always trying to take mattersContinue reading "In Quietness and Trust"

Look Forward to the Resurrection

They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant...They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where theyContinue reading "Look Forward to the Resurrection"

I Am Who I Am

Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to theContinue reading "I Am Who I Am"

That You May Know

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these signs of mine among them that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that IContinue reading "That You May Know"

Do You See God?

She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” (Genesis 16:13 NIV) A while back, I wrote a devotional about Hagar being seen by God titled, "God Sees You." While it's always encouraging to be reminded ofContinue reading "Do You See God?"

Be Still and Watch

But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the LORD’s victory. He is with you. (2 Chronices 20:17 NLT) It's that time of year again when many people will commit to some kind of a New Year resolution(s). This year, I feel God leading me towards makingContinue reading "Be Still and Watch"
