Believe Before You See
Have you been waiting, praying, seeking, and still haven’t seen the promise fulfilled? Has God given you a word, but it feels stuck somewhere between Heaven and Earth? While reading in John 4, the Lord drew my attention to a particular verse. It came from the following passage: “Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee, where…

What is Love?
The other day, while reading in 1 John, I came across this verse: “The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him,” (1 John 2:10). It jumped off the page! There is no cause for stumbling inside the one who loves his brother? Wow. Can…

Are You Firmly Planted?
The other day, my husband and I were outside tackling a mulch project. Before spreading the beautiful dark substance, my husband did some digging. Using a shovel, he dug out the edges of the area needing mulch. Many of these areas were circular and carefully surrounded individual trees. When we got to the final tree,…

Movie Edits & Pruning Shears
“Deleted Scenes” Have you ever felt a surge of excitement when reading those words? Perhaps your mind races, imagining what wonderful things are in store! Last night, my husband and I decided to watch a movie—one of those popular, practically-everyone-has-heard-of-it kind of films. With access to the movie came the opportunity to watch several deleted…

Hello, Victory
I’ve been reading in the Biblical book of Esther lately, which is a powerful story of God’s perfect timing and deliverance. Around chapter 3, things aren’t looking good for the Jewish people.

Breaking Strongholds
Are you carrying a weight on your shoulders? Is there something with which you’ve battled for years but feel like you can’t break free? It feels like a stronghold—a prison—and no matter how hard you try, escape seems impossible. In Luke 13, Jesus sees a woman who “had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen…

Don’t Be Afraid
In Luke 8:41, a man named Jairus fell at Jesus’ feet and pleaded with him to come to his house, because his 12-year-old daughter was dying. While they were on their way, someone came from Jairus’ house and said, “Your daughter is dead…Don’t bother the teacher any more,” (Parts of Luke 8:49). “Hearing…

Victory in Jesus: 7 Keys to Overcoming Temptation
In this life, we will encounter temptation. 1 John 2:16 says, “For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.” The good news? We have victory over these temptations through Jesus! Jesus set the perfect example for…

Catching Fire
While reading Acts chapter eight this past Friday, several things stuck out. The book of Acts is rather inspiring: people, filled with the Holy Spirit, following God with complete abandon. They don’t worry about pleasing people. They aren’t stopped by fear of torture or death. They know the truth, and that truth comes flowing out…
