Armor of God
As we enter into a new season of responsibilities and challenges, I thought my Drawing Near to God devotional on the Armor of God may be a good reminder of how God provides protection. To learn more about how God equips us with spiritual protection and how to Make Space for God, join me at […]
The Way We Think Matters
Proverbs 23:7 is worth pondering for a few minutes: As a man thinks so he is. Our thoughts are truly a reflection of who we are. People ask me why it is so important to study and meditate on God’s Word. Primarily we do so to renew our minds allowing us to align with the […]
Our Counselor, the Holy Spirit
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. John 14:16 Jesus promised His disciples that His Father would send the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, to them when He returned to the Father. The Holy Spirit would lead them into truth and teach them all […]
Slaves to Righteousness
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. Romans 6:18 In our post-modern world today, truth is not absolute; there is no definitive right or wrong. Today’s society might view Paul’s position – either you are a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness – as narrow-minded. History […]

Have you ever thought about dreaming with God? What I mean by that is taking time to hear from God– maybe on a walk, or on a retreat, making space to hear specifically from the Lord and what is on His heart.

I am often asked how to read Scripture. My response is to allow the Word to read you, to have the Word speak to you as a love letter from God the Father. When I read Scripture, I ask the Lord to speak to me through His Word and journal what I sense He is […]
River of His Presence
I want to share with you a little bit about peace. When we make space for God, His peace becomes available to us. No matter what trial or difficulty you may be facing, God’s peace gives hope. See the below entry from my devotional, Sitting at His Feet, for encouragement that the Lord has given […]
See How He Loved Him
This morning I have been focused on the story of the death of Lazarus. Many of you know this story, however in the way of a review, He was a friend of Jesus, brother of Martha and Mary. When Lazarus became deathly ill, they sent for Jesus knowing that He was the Healer, yet He […]

Happy Thanksgiving! Earlier this week I posted Give Thanks In All Circumstances suggesting we all start a grateful journal. I encourage you to read that post and the Thanksgiving “challenge”. While today is a special day of giving thanks, we must remember that it is not the only day to give thanks for all that […]
