Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Negative things happen.

None of it is predictable…but all of it is guaranteedContinue reading “Choose Gratitude”
Trust the Guide
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 “I know where I’m going.” “Are you sure?” his wife asks. “It seems like we are lost.”“We are not lost. I am just lookingContinue reading “Trust the Guide”
Growth vs Change
The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nestsContinue reading “Growth vs Change”
Being Wrong is Alright
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 You must be bad before you can be good, and you must be wrong before you can be right.Continue reading “Being Wrong is Alright”

Not Luck, It’s Jesus
And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spirituallyContinue reading “Not Luck, It’s Jesus”
Let God Lead
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 Jesus leads us. God’s Word is a light to our path in this dark world. He goes before us and clears the way. He writes our story and calls us to take the proper steps. The map has been provided, and theContinue reading “Let God Lead”
Stay in Your Lane
Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them… When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” John 21:20-22 The world says, “Nice guys finishContinue reading “Stay in Your Lane”
Growth Takes Grit
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11 Growth hurts. A seed must completely destroy itself to become the tree it was designed to be. To build muscle, the fibers must tear and rebuild. TheContinue reading “Growth Takes Grit”
