A Solid Foundation
His Word provides a solid foundation that makes my life relatively stable regardless of the turbulences I experience. While my emotions can be on a rollercoaster from one day to another and my thoughts can vacillate from one moment to the next, the outcome of my life has been fairly stable and consistent with God’s promises for my life.

Meditation: Cast your Burden
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved (ESV) – Psalm 55:22 If I cast my burden on the Lord, sharing my thoughts, concerns, and worries with Him rather than bearing them alone, He will sustain me. The cause for concern may not […]

Day 11: Faith, Unfeigned #28DayChallenge
Today, I want to share a few thoughts on faith, particularly in connection with the adjective “unfeigned” as used in the King James Version of the Bible.

Waiting
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (Psa. 27:14, NIV) I don’t like waiting. Whether for a divine promise or a human verdict, I like to see or experience the things I am expecting as soon as I am aware they are on the way. Waiting often feels […]

Idols
You shall make no molded gods for yourselves (Exod. 34:17, NKJV) Hello! It’s been almost a month since my last blog post and it feels like forever. The interesting thing is that I’ve been writing every day. I have been working on a project that will take me at least one year to complete. So, […]
