I’ve doubted even after seeing God’s faithfulness.

If only…my happiness wasn’t so closely tied to whether my blessings outweigh my burdens on any given day. If only…I could be more self controlled and gentle and not mess up again today. If only…I could always walk in truth and not fall once more to the lies of the enemy. If only…my hope neverContinue reading “I’ve doubted even after seeing God’s faithfulness.”

No matter what…

If I could explain God, if I could control Him, treat Him like a vending machine, if I could predict His next move or always understand His last – would He be worthy of my worship? Would He be Mighty God? But He is Mighty!He is the Great I Am.He is Holy. And this veryContinue reading “No matter what…”

God allows us to see their trust waiver, as He knowsContinue reading “When your faith falters…”

You Can Run Back

Desperate. They find the tomb empty.. Suddenly angels appear and remind the women of the words Jesus had said about his death and resurrection. The women run to tell the eleven, but the disciples didn’t believe them. But Peter. Peter rose and ran to the tomb. (Luke 24) Why Peter? We know from other partsContinue reading “You Can Run Back”

Have you doubted God and made the wrong choice?

It’s been ten long years since God promised. Still no baby. Her body is aging. She’s tired. She loves her husband. Didn’t God say Abram’s descendants would be as numerous as the stars? (Gen 15:5). But she also knew the sovereign God has restrained her from bearing children. (Gen 16:2) What is she supposed toContinue reading “Have you doubted God and made the wrong choice?”
