God’s Strength to Deliver
This week, we continued our study of Isaiah with the lesson, “God’s Strength to Deliver.” As you know, I like to share notes from my weekly teaching here on the blog. So, let’s start by looking at the meditation verse for this lesson — ‘Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say […]
Peace that Transcends Understanding
Good morning, Making Space for God friends. Earlier this week, I wrote about setting our God priorities. This can be hard, especially during stressful and crazy times. As many of us our keeping our eye on Florence, I want to share an entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet, that points us to our […]
From Darkness to Light
Today I want to look at a scripture that has been on my heart. Paul writes in his letter to the Colossians: For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves. (Colossians 1:13) Think about that for a moment. As Christians, as believers […]
Dreaming with God
Consider this statement with me for a minute as we Make Space for God together on this beautiful Monday morning: Every dream must have a plan. Do you have a dream? Do you sense that God is calling you to do something, shift your path and follow your dreams? I recall listening to a speaker […]

Every person has experienced these things and as a Christian, the question remains, “How do we react when God says no?” This is especially significant when we were […]
Fear’s Travel Companions
Earlier this week I wrote about how fear is a bully. But fear doesn’t always travel alone – he brings along some companions. Below is in an entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet, which comes from my personal journal entries and the comfort the Lord gave me during times of fear. Here you’ll […]
Fear is a Bully
Today’s blog is about Making Space in our lives for courage. Fear is simply a bully. At one point or another, we have all experienced a bully—that person who tries to intimidate and control you. I had a friend in elementary school who was a certified bully. Kids would either avoid her or cower under […]
