Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10

Ephesians 3:20 (New King James Version) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. I love this passage. I was reading the In Touch magazine by Charles Stanley and he wrote a devotion about this verse. He basically said that we wait for God to act on our behalf, to right the wrongs, to rescue us from disaster, to do what we ask Him! But many times God will not change the circumstances or he will wait- instead He does a work within us and he changes our heart according to his glory and purpose. For so long I have worked in my own efforts to accomplish something only to fail or be disappointed. I am learning to seek him for direction, pray, and see what he does or doesn't do. Many times he's more interested in our character than our circumstances. Don't we always just want him to fix things, us, other...

Don't Be Deceived!

Do you ever feel like you are in the twilight zone and wonder what is true, real, of God, and what is wrong or of the devil? As I was reflecting and writing this post I was looking for a twilight zone picture, you know the black and white spiral, when all of a sudden my Apple computer locked up and gave me a security message and number to call. It even threatened me with a fine if I left the page! I called and the tech walked me through how to unlock my computer but I immediately thought that they were going to want money for security. I was right! He said that now there is a security breach and I needed protection. So I was threatened, accused of doing some illegal activity, then I had scare tactics thrown at me! So Ill do my own research.  Crazy stuff happens all the time especially when we are Christians and working for the King. The enemy tries to get at us but sometimes its our own flesh.  DOUBT, WORRY, FEAR, UNBELIEF, STUBBORNNESS, PRIDE, ENVY, STRIFE, SELFI...

The Miracle Question

The question begins with: Suppose you went to bed tonight and while you were sleeping a miracle happened and you woke up and you didn't know that a miracle happened but things were different. All the problems that you had the day before are now gone. What would be some things that you notice are different? With your relationships? Job? Friends? Family? Finances? You fill in the blank. Use your imagination! (SFBT, de Shazer, S., Berg, K.) Think of it this way; what do you want in life? I like this question because it helps us to think about our dreams, goals, and problems in a different way and it challenges us to stop just existing in life, but to move forward with a purpose. Then focus is on what is working in your life and do more of these things. Miracles happen everyday- God turns sorrow into joy, despair into hope, war into peace, hate into love, Psalm 147:3 says; "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." (NIV)He does! What ever place that you...
