A promise. Several generations passed. 400 years of captivity. 40 years wandering the desert. The Promised Land in sight, then out of sight, then in it again. Amazing victories. Devastating losses. Seasons of sin. Periods of rejoicing and serving the Lord. Finally, the death of Moses. It wouldn’t be long. All they’d waited for was about to be realized. The promise they’d clung to their whole lives, generation after generation was about to come true. Tomorrow, Joshua said, God Continue Reading
Your No Is As Important As Your Yes {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
“All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” Matthew 5:37 Are you afraid of saying no? I am! What a gift that Scripture doesn’t condemn the word no.

Imagine if Jesus was as uncomfortable with saying no as so many of us are. What if, instead of saying “get behind me, Satan!” to Peter, He said Continue Reading

God MUST deliver IF He Promised
In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, “SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE.” Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to Continue Reading
Jesus Text {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
"buuuzzzz, buzzz." "Who's that?" I ask. It's not my business. I don't especially care. I'm just being nosy (usually because I'm bored.) My husband's reply is often, "It's Jesus." I roll my eyes. He smirks. It's our bit. But sometimes when we play that little game, I think about how nice it would be to get a text from Jesus. He doesn't need to say anything in particular.
