Daniel, Trusting in God

There Is No Need For An Explanation

Yesterday at church, we read Chapter 3 in the book of Daniel. Our pastor did a great job explaining it. Its an amazing story. Daniel's friends get thrown in a fiery furnace and come out unharmed. Not one hair of their heads was singed. It was a miracle. I was fascinated with their attitudes before… Continue reading There Is No Need For An Explanation

God Knows What Lies In The Darkness

Have you ever looked at your life and just felt overwhelmed? I feel that way today. I spent the morning trying to find a solution, trying to will myself out of my problems. It didn't work. It just made me feel, well, overwhelmed. Instead, I should have been praying to God. I should have gone… Continue reading God Knows What Lies In The Darkness

Paul, Trusting in God

Do not be deceived. Trust in God.

Have you ever met somebody who does not tell the truth? Or, perhaps stretches the truth at times to make a better story? If you are like most people, you have met someone who deceives with empty words. It may seem harmless to talk to these people, spend time with them and be friends. God… Continue reading Do not be deceived. Trust in God.

Anger, Prayer and Fasting

Yesterday, I wrote a blog post 'Let God Plead Your Case and Take Vengeance For You'. Did I do that? No. I got angry. This morning in our bible study group, we read through the book of Ephesians. One of the passages that spoke to me was about anger. The bible says to be angry.… Continue reading Anger, Prayer and Fasting

Let God Plead Your Case and Take Vengeance For You

Have you ever found out what somebody did behind your back? Hopefully, it was a good thing. I will treasure good surprises! Unfortunately, I just found out that family members were intentionally holding back information about my mom's diagnosis and treatment. Why? I guess they just did not want me there. The Lord did not… Continue reading Let God Plead Your Case and Take Vengeance For You

For the Lord is the God of Recompense

Have you ever felt like someone was out to destroy you? I don't mean like in a superhero movie. I mean a person that is systematically trying to break down your reputation, bit by bit. At first, it makes you angry. Then, it makes you sad. At some point, you just let it go and… Continue reading For the Lord is the God of Recompense

My Tool Kit: Faith, Bible, Prayers

Do you ever pray and wonder if or when God will answer your prayers? I used to almost give myself a panic attack trying to figure out if God would answer my prayer and if so, when. I would become stressed and worried. I had no patience, because my faith was not strong enough. I… Continue reading My Tool Kit: Faith, Bible, Prayers

God Can Be Glorified Through You

I am always amazed that God will take us where we are at right now. Would you make friends with someone that was always talking badly about you and trying to hurt you? Nooo, I would stay far away from that person. God's ways are not like our ways. God's ways are good and perfect.… Continue reading God Can Be Glorified Through You
