Daily Inspiration-Storms in Life…

Storms in life, like any natural storm, ultimately pass and give way to sunny skies.  Do not quit.  Do not become fearful.

When storms do come (and they will), hold on to your faith.  He is right there with you.  Wait out the storm.  It will pass.  He’s got this!

For it is written:

“On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.”  Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.  And

Ah The Subtlety of Temptation

Jpeg

What Do You Consider

Temptation?

“Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation:  the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”  This is spoken by Jesus in Matthew 26:41.  You may recognize this quote if you spend time in the Word.  I have read it for years but this week I saw it in a different light.

Temptation is defined by Webster as, “something that causes a strong urge or desire to have or do something and especially something that is bad, wrong, or unwise.”  I do not know about you, but I always thought that … Read the rest

Do You Have ‘Crazy Faith’ or Foolish Faith?

Faith

Opt for ‘Crazy Faith’

Over Foolish Faith

Conversations about faith abound in Christian circles.  How much faith, if any, do you have?  Is your faith circumstantially based?   Do you express great faith until life throws you a curve?  As disciples of Jesus Christ we are called to have faith.  God gives each of us a measure of faith.  How is your measure doing?

Things are moving so fast.   We truly are pressed on all sides.  Jesus said there would be tribulation in this world and there certainly is today.  If you watch the news, read the paper or just watch

Time Is Of The Essence for Healing

Time

Go in Peace

&

Be Healed

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is of the woman with the issue of blood.  She had “suffered many things” for twelve years.  She had gone to many physicians for help but continued to get worse.  She “spent all that she had.” Her situation seemed hopeless.  But then she heard about Jesus.

She pressed through a crowded throng of people just be able to touch the very hem of His garment.  She pressed through, trying to remain unseen, eating the dust from sandals walking in front and around her just to touch … Read the rest

Are You A Doubting Thomas?

Believe

Thomas Had To Physically See to Believe

How About You?

Are you familiar with the story of the Apostle Thomas?  He was one of the twelve who walked with Jesus during His earthly ministry.  When Jesus appeared after His resurrection to the Apostles, Thomas was not present.  When his comrades told him of their Lord’s visitation, Thomas was skeptical and said he would not believe unless he could see Jesus himself.

Jesus later returned to His followers when Thomas was present.  Jesus showed His wounds to Thomas and let him touch them.  For Thomas, seeing was believing!  However, Jesus took … Read the rest

Where is Your Faith?

Faith

Do You Walk by Faith

Or Engulfed in Fear?

Do you ever feel particularly challenged?  Does your life sometimes take on the unwanted dimension of a completely overwhelming sensation?  Do you wonder which way to turn and what action to take?  You are not alone.  This experience happens to each of us along the path of life.  What is critical is how you function during a time you feel most unable to function.

Focus, Focus, Focus!

Check the focus of your heart.  If your heart’s attention is riveted to the circumstance you are experiencing to the point that you are … Read the rest

How Deep is Your Trust?

Do You Trust God

In the Depths of Your Heart?

Do you trust God?  Do you trust Him to know what is best for you?  Do you trust that He goes before you as your life unfolds?  Do you trust that He is well aware of how long you may have been waiting for something or someone to change?  Do you live in peace every day deep in your heart (for it is always a heart issue) knowing that God has all in your life covered with His divine plan?  Take some time to think about your honest answer … Read the rest

What Time Is It At Your House?

Natural Time May Be Movable

Faith Seeks God’s Set Time!

Today in the United States we move our clocks back one hour as Daylight Savings Time ends for another season.  We talk about “gaining an extra hour.” Just when we are in the groove with the time change the time will switch again in the spring when we allegedly “lose an hour.”  A lot of talk surrounds this time adjustment each year from casual conversation to daily newscasts.  All this focus and dialog about time.

Who Controls the Hands of Your Clock?

It is an interesting concept that we simply … Read the rest
