Let Go and Trust God

John 21:3 —”‘I’m going out to fish,’ Simon Peter told them, and they said, ‘We’ll go with you.’ So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.” We have so many plans for ourselves: – declutter the house for minimalism – go back to college and finish to graduate […]

Pressing toward the mark

Philippians 3:14: I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Paul was a man on fire for God, especially after he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. The encounter that he had with Jesus that night changed the entire course of his life.  He changed […]

Find out God’s will

Matthew 26:39:  And he went a little farther, and fell on his face and prayed, saying, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will. Jesus was willing to do the will of God, His Father.  As a human being, He was exhausted and was filled with agonizing pain […]

Don’t quit

Luke 5:5:  And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. There are times when we have done all that we can within our limits and don’t see the fruit of our labour.  There are also times […]

Let God minister

Luke 4:39:  And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her; and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. Jesus ministered unto Peter’s mother-in-law when she was down with a great fever.  As soon as Jesus rebuked the fever, she felt good and ministered unto them.  Sickness obeyed Jesus instantly. It […]

The expected end

Jeremiah 29:11:  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. God has planned peaceful thoughts for us, and He is waiting to give us an expected end.  We may have lost all hopes of having a bright […]

A good God

Psalm 73:1:  Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.  If God is good all the time, why do bad things happen?  Simple, bad things do not come from God.  He is a good God […]
