At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry
Dear one, let’s RUN, not walk … away from ANYTHING that would pull our love and affection away from our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Trust in Turbulent Times
Some things … you just don’t know … until you know them. Pretty profound, aye? Sorry. I’ve been crying so many tears lately I guess I needed a chuckle.
I’ve often wondered what it actually means to walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Never in my life have I been in the midst of a storm as I am at this very hour.
God alone is my hope. God alone is my help.
The verdict is still out on whether or not the cause of the storm matters. Whether it’s a mess brought on by poor choices or the calamity strikes from another source … not sure if it’s any more or less intense.
When fear strikes and you can hardly eat or sleep or think straight … THAT’S a storm.
I’ve cried. I’ve prayed. I’ve turned my eyes fully upon Jesus. I’ve asked others to pray. I am currently digging into the Word of God night and day. So far, I’ve come to a spot where all I can do is worship the King in this unbelievably dark darkness I am in.
He IS sovereign and He WILL deliver.
Dear one, if the pathway is dark and bleak and difficult … keep pressing in. Keep believing. Keep praying. Stay in the Word.
He was, is and will always be faithful and worthy of our praise.
If you are currently experiencing turbulent times … trust. Trust Him. Trust Him. He HAS not, CAN not, and NEVER will fail.
Blessings, dear reader.

Mighty God, everything You allow us to go through is for a purpose. You are forming and fashioning us into the image of Your dear Son. Help us surrender ALL to You this very day. Amen

One Thing
So many things to worry about and so little time to do it. Nope, I’m not making fun of anybody. I know that we are living in some pretty stressful times.
Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
Luke 10:41,42
Things that can’t be taken from us? THAT kinda sounds like eternal things to me.
WHAT’S that one thing!
God. Christ. His Word.
That which will NEVER pass away.
Friend, don’t seek fame and fortune … seek HIM!
Don’t seek the gifts … seek HIM!
Let’s not seek the blessing … but let’s seek HIM!
One thing!

Moving Forward After the Storm
You can only sit in the pile of ashes so long before you must make a choice. Either you’re going to sit there one more day or … it’s time to move forward.
The person who maliciously maligned you is well on their way to ruining somebody else’s life. It’s time to move forward.
The boss who fired you is already well on their way to hiring and firing somebody else. It’s time to move forward.
The tragic loss that upended you and wreaked havoc on your life … is about to pay a visit to yet another victim. It’s time to move forward.
You may sit and you may replay that horrific scene over and over and over again in your mind until you realize … it’s time to move forward.
The storm, the tragedy, the terrifying event that changed your life forever is … HOPEFULLY over. It’s time to move forward.
It doesn’t matter if it was totally your fault, partially your fault, or not your fault at all. It’s time to move forward.
We may have no say whatsoever in the grief that befalls us. However, we have quite a bit of say about how we get on with our lives once the storm has passed.
God was God BEFORE our storm!
God is God in the MIDDLE of our storm!
God will be the same loving, caring, and all-powerful God AFTER our storm.
What do you say we just take some time to worship Him RIGHT NOW and lay it all down at HIS feet?

Light in the darkness
That is who You are!
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 43:1,2
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4
♫ O Rock divine, O Refuge dear, A shelter in the time of storm; Be Thou our helper ever near, A shelter in the time of storm.
Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, A shelter in the time of storm. – Vernon J. Charlesworth
♫ Till the storm passes over and the thunder sounds no more, till the clouds roll forever from the sky. Hold me fast let me stand, in the hollow of Your hand. Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Pray.
Read.
Believe.
Worship.
Repeat.
Mighty God, we worship You no matter what because You are worthy! Praise You King!
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others!

Well, HELLO There!
There are times and seasons in our lives when we CANNOT see, feel or sense His presence … at ALL! His Word does NOT lie. He is with us … no … matter … what! He is our ONLY hope!

Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others.
