Ephesians 3:17-19
I have two large nut trees around my house, and they dump what seems like tons of leaves on my property in the fall. Raking them up seems futile at times because I can spend a couple of hours clearing my yard only to find two days later that the leaves have covered everything again.... Continue Reading →
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations. (Psalm 33:11) The only way to have peace which surpasses understanding is by having faith that the outcome of everything is being shaped by sovereign goodness and love.

The plan of the enemy is to seduce us away from the safety of the narrow path of life to gain an advantage to kill, steal, and destroy. He can only succeed if he is able to entice us. He can only entice us if we are carnally minded, which is to say if we resort to... Continue Reading →

Your smallest prayer is greater than your biggest problem. Goliath seemed like a big problem, but one smooth stone from the brook ended him. Our Father knows what we need even before we pray. The victory is in the communion. GOD is still saying, “Come unto me, and I will give you rest.” The hope... Continue Reading →
