Waiting can be difficult at times. Waiting in a long line at the DMV, waiting in traffic knowing you'll be late, waiting for answers to prayers.... God gives us times of waiting knowing that we will be filled with joy as His purpose unfolds in our lives. The Most High God knows the outcome and keeps us steady when we fix our minds on His promises. Believe He is good when you can't see it. Believe in His immense love when you can't feel it. Trust Him. God is not always in a hurry. However, He is always with us and for us. Rest assured as you meander down the path of waiting.

As I was reading Psalm 37:34 "Don't be impatient for the Lord to act!" it made me think of the prayers that I have been waiting on for God's answer. Sometimes we doubt that God hears us, or we feel like He doesn't answer fast enoug,h and we get discouraged. But God's timing is always perfect. Patience is the ability to perservere without giving up in spite of pain, troubles, or difficult circumstances without complaint. That sounds like a tall order. Thankfully the Holy Spirit increases ... Continue reading...

Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5 Joy is a fruit of the Spirit. That means that the Spirit of God is full of joy. When we are in His presence, the joy of the Spirit touches our hearts and fills our minds. Joy in the Holy Spirit is not worldly but jubilant, supernatural bliss. There is joy that makes you want to sing and dance before the Lord like David did when God gave him victory over his enemies. Soak in the love of God's Spirit. Rejoice in ... Continue reading...

El Roi is God's Name in Hebrew which means "The God Who Sees Me". In Psalm 139:7 David declared, "I cannot escape from Your Spirit! I can never get away from Your presence."

Conquer or be Conquered? How can we win in daily life? The enemy seeks to destroy, and to divide and conquer, deceive, wreak havoc, plunder, weaken, and steal from us. But he can be stopped dead in his tracks. We have a safe haven, a hiding place, a shelter in the storm, a rock of refuge whose name is Power, whose arm is strong, who wins every battle. His mighty name is Jesus. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed are those who take refuge in Him. Go to the place of ... Continue reading...

Faith is the beginning of miracles. Your faith is vital to seeing the miracles of God take place around you. What is faith? It is real, it has substance, it is counted as evidence of what you hope for, things that are not yet seen. That is the biblical definition of faith, Hebrews 11:1 Faith in Jesus, faith in the Word of God, faith in His power and love. Faith brings miracles.
