Romans 5 declares that “hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Our hope is not in outcomes, in opportunities or our own understanding. Our hope must be built by the fact that the Holy Spirit has been...

Do you consider yourself holy? Why or why not? When considering holiness what is it that we are looking at? What makes us holy? I believe that the only way to consider holiness is to look directly at God. In Isaiah 6 and in Revelation 4 we are given glimpses into God’s throne room and...

Ephesians 2:10 begins by stating “For we are God’s mastpiece.” This statement is often hard for many of us to believe or agree with. We are not trying to become masterpieces, we were as He desired us to be at our creation. Yes, there is much grace, much change, much maturity that needs to happen...

The end of Numbers chapter 6 records very specific words that God gave to Aaron and his sons to speak over the children of Israel. These words were not instructions but rather, they were words of confirmation, words of affirmation, words of love and words of peace. God said that these words would “put His...

I think that we sometimes underscore the difficulty of Moses’ early life. He was spared by the grace of God and the courage of his family. Taken as a grandson of Pharoah but also taught that he was a Hebrew, a child of God.  It seems as if Moses had no real place of fitting...

Transitions are often difficult. We spend time praying and even dreaming about the next open door but we often give little thought to the closed door that will precede it. In Revelation 3 Jesus declared that He holds the “key of David” which has all power not merely in the opening of doors but the...

Many of us have heard the word submit and immediately turned on our defenses. For some reason submission has become one of those concepts that we equate with weakness. Submission is not at all about one more powerful dominating a weaker vessel. The truth of submission is found in relationship, in trust and in love....

There are times in our lives in which courage must be added to our faith to give us the strength to take steps of obedience. Jarius was moved by the desperation of his dying daughter. He moved in faith and in courage, believing that Jesus was able to heal was not enough, he had to...

The author of Hebrews tells us to “look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.” Where we set our gaze is very important to measuring the outcome of our given situation. I believe that we reap from where we set our attention. If our attention is set our circumstances, on our difficulties, on...
