If there is one thing I have learned in life, it is that people will let you down. People will disappoint …
DEVOTIONAL: Look up, child.
Look up, child. This may sound silly, but a lot of time when I am praying alone, I tend to look upwards. I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only one that does it. But it doesn’t matter if I’m indoors or outside, I find myself tilting my head back and looking heavenward as I …

DEVOTIONAL: He will do it again
He will do it again. It’s so easy for us to forget what God has done. We often read the bible and wonder at how the people of Israel could so quickly forget what God rescued them from. We wonder at their grumbling in the desert, shaking our head at their attitude. But the truth …
DEVOTIONS: A Broken Song to the Perfect One
Do you ever feel like a broken song playing on repeat? Sometimes I feel as if I’m a broken record, bringing the same tune to the Lord over and over. Help me, Lord; take away the pain, Lord; fix the situation, Lord; bring restoration, Lord; help me to do the right thing, Lord. I often …

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. – Isaiah 26:3 Finding perfect peace is not an easy thing to come across. Often, most of us have seasons where we don’t feel peace at all, let alone have perfect peace. But God’s Words tells us that …
