40 DAYS OF TRUST

By
Join me for 40 Days of Trust. It was recently brought to my attention that many are going through a rough 2014 already and encountering situations that almost demand that we increase our level of trust in the One who is most trustworthy. Maybe you have endured incredible loss in this New Year or quite possibly you are facing a situation that is beyond your capability to control or handle.

During the next 40 Days we will focus on God and Who He is and put our requests and concerns before Him.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 

Next, pick a Scripture that causes you to focus on the character of God and His work.  Here are some ideas for you:
  • Jeremiah 10:12
  • Psalm 46:1
  • Psalm 46:10
  • Genesis 18:14
  • Psalm 103:8
Choose one verse to meditate on throughout your day.  You might want to write this verse on a note card to take with you in the car or the office or even keep on the breakfast table. When you are tempted to worry or despair about your current situation, pray immediately and lay your request/concern before God. Finally, focus on your chosen Scripture verse and what it reveals about God who is Most Trustworthy! Feel free to share what the Lord does in the next 40 Days--I know He will do a work in us!

Backed Into A Corner -- Thank God

By
The capacity to respond to adversity with faith and gratitude is not limited to spiritual "superheroes." Choosing Gratitude - Nancy Leigh DeMoss Precarious Position. Many times we find ourselves in a place where we would rather not be and our desire may be to run and hide. However, running and hiding may not be viable options and are probably not what God is asking of us in the current situation. The problems and issues we will face in life vary greatly from health, to relationship/marriage, finances, to the stress of looking for a job, or maybe like Job, we might have lost everything -- family and possessions. Often, it is when we have done everything in our human power to ameliorate our situation and fail miserably that we remember God. photo credit:  cindy47452  via  photopin   cc Powerful Response. When we find ourselves in situations and recognize our only choice is to look up to God we can have victory and relief. When we take the time to thank the Fathe

Common Ground: The Road Less Traveled

By
The Presence of God.  Ruth and Naomi found themselves in very trying circumstances after each suffered the loss of a husband and the inescapable grief that accompanies death. Scripture gives us a snapshot into their lives and we get a glimpse of the strong bond of friendship that took place between Ruth and Naomi. Was it the deep sense of   grief that brought these two women together in a way they had never experienced before? Perhaps these women were drawn to each other because they knew they were “alone” in the world.  More importantly, the presence of God is evident by Ruth's response to her mother-in-law.  Ruth reminds us and reminded Naomi of God's presence. The presence of God is the bond that unites our hearts as brothers and sisters in Christ. The Road Less Traveled photo credit:  B Gilmour.  via  photopin   cc Mutual Commitment. Naomi urged Ruth to go home to her mother in Moab hoping that Ruth would find another husband. Ruth refused to leave Naom
