Tasting God’s Goodness
As Christians, we know that the way to be close to God is to spend time with Him, praying and reading the Bible. But that time with God accomplishes more than we might think.
Overwhelmed?
Life can feel overwhelming at times, can’t it? But God knows our emotions, our worries, our stresses, our uncertainties—and He gives us a way to get to higher ground.
Delighting the Lord
The Bible tells us much about how we can delight in the Lord, but this week I ran across a passage that challenged me with the truth that it is possible for God to delight in us!
A Glimpse of God
There are many passages in the Bible that give us a glimpse of what God is like, and this post takes just one of those passages, walking through it slowly, considering each facet mentioned.
Our Home and Father
God is a perfect Father, our place of peace and security. As someone recently described it to me, God is our home and our Father.
Quick to Forget
The account of Lot’s rescue from Sodom is one full of God’s mercy, and yet Lot—as you and I often do—showed himself quick to forget God’s deliverance when faced with the next steps.
Majestic, Yet Personal
The God of the Bible is transcendent, majestic, and holy—And yet, He is also our Shepherd, lovingly, personally involved in our day-to-day lives. For the saved in Christ, keeping both these truths about God in balance is crucial to our relationship with Him.
What the Lord Knows
We often talk about the fact that God knows everything, but have you ever stopped to ponder the specific things God tells us that He knows?
The Lord is Good in Your Waiting
Lamentations 3:25 tells us that the Lord is good to those who wait and seek Him. This verse has been a comfort during many times of waiting over the years, but God recently used it to point out an incorrect assumption I was making about what the verse was saying about the goodness of God towards His waiting children.
