Living for Something More

/0 Comments/in /by

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18, MSG)

I love how the Message version shares the above passage of Scripture. We can’t give up! There is so much we need to keep on fighting for. Yes, in this life we are faced with some pretty tough things but we can trust that God has a plan through it all. He will not fail us. Sometimes it feels like we are falling apart at the seams but as we lean into Jesus and all that He is we find that not a day goes by without His unfolding grace.

When Bad News Hits

/0 Comments/in /by

So I sent messengers to them saying, ‘I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave to come down to [meet with] you?’ (Nehemiah 6:3)

I love how God works. A few days ago, God laid it on my heart to start reading Nehemiah. It really ministered to me as I was reading it. I felt that the Lord was calling me to stand on the wall like Nehemiah but I didn’t fully understand why. Little did I know that He was preparing my heart for some bad news to come.

A few days later,  I was hit with the news that my publisher closed down. This was some tough news to swallow as I had a book that was supposed to be released this month and another one about ready to go into production. They left me with a huge mess. As I continue to learn about them, I’m finding out some not so great things. I had a 10+ year relationship with Tate Publishing. It wasn’t always bad! There were some great years with them and I’m thankful for the 7 books I was able to publish with them. I’m thankful that through my relationship with them I gained the confidence I needed to pursue new publishers. And thankfully because of God’s guidance to Nehemiah I was ready to stand on the wall of what God has for me next.

Yes, seven days ago this news rocked my world. But today, I’m standing on God’s promises. God is faithful! In that I will continue to stand. His faithfulness is the one thing I can depend on for the rest of my life. People are fickle. Businesses compromise. Christians fail too. But God, God is on the throne. He’s not changing. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He will never leave or forsake me (Deuteronomy 31:6).

Life Can be a Rollercoaster Ride

/0 Comments/in /by

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] (John 16:33, AMP)

Lately, I’ve been thinking life is kind of like a rollercoaster ride. There’s that moment you get in the ride and hear, “keep your arms and legs inside.” You brace yourself for the wild ride. Your anticipation mounts as you climb to the top of what will be a free fall. Then you dangle a lit bit on top just to give you that final moment of sweet thrill! The thrill gives way to the beautiful free fall. You pick up speed as you head to who knows where. You slowly adjust yourself to the ride, thinking you’ve got this, it’s not so bad. Then comes the loopy da loop. One loop and your good. Then another loop and another. Often leaving you guessing of when your feet will be steady on the ground again.

Promise of Peace

/0 Comments/in , /by

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

Peace!  This is one of the sweetest promises found in God’s Word.  We live in chaos at times.  The world around us is falling apart but God is still on the throne and because of that we have a promise of peace.  He brought that peace to us through Jesus Christ, His Son.  I love the tshirt that says, “Know Jesus, Know Peace”.  There is no peace without Jesus.  A life void of Jesus equals a life of chaos!  We know peace because we know Jesus.  It’s really that simple!
