We all have fear, doubt, and worry. The question isn’t whether we always have courage, confidence and peace. The question is: Do we act on feelings or faith?

Is God’s Reputation Important to You?
How important is God’s reputation to you? Have you ever even thought about it? When you pray, do you seek answers that will glorify the Lord or yourself? What about your conduct? Do your actions help or hurt God’s reputation? When the people refused to enter the land God had …
Don’t Get Your Hopes Up – Unless Your Hope is in the Lord
Have all your dreams come true or do you even dare to dream anymore? Have you lost hope? Does it just hurt too much? What if I told you there was another way?
How Far Is God’s Reach? Is He Limited?
Can God reach into our world and act on our behalf? Is His power only manifested in heaven or does He exercise it here? How involved is He? Can He truly help us
How long God? This is Too Much!
“God why are you treating me this way?! Don’t you love me? I have done everything you asked. Why have you put such a burden on me? I was perfectly happy before You called me to this. I never wanted to lead these people. They are not my children, yet …
Belonging to God
We love our children just because they are ours & the Israelites were blessed just because they were His. Our children don’t earn our love by doing good things & they can’t lose our love by doing something wrong. The Israelites also could not earn or lose God’s love & neither can we. Once we become His child, we belong to Him forever.

As His representatives, we need to reveal His character to the world. “Be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
What Are You Willing to Sacrifice?
always give our best to God. We shouldn’t offer Him only the things we don’t want to control or possess ourselves. We shouldn’t offer what is useless to us or what is left over. God is worthy of the most valuable & useful things in our lives. He deserves priority over everything. We are insufficient to control anything in our lives. He alone is powerful & trustworthy. We have no right to hold on to our possessions, because everything we have was given to us by Him in the first place & everything belongs to Him anyway.
Our Walk With God
Being a Christian has its ups & downs. It is full of failure, forgiveness, & new resolve. We may experience many growing pains in our walk with the Lord. But through Him, we do grow. We keep fighting. We keep getting back up. We learn to trust Him more. We experience more of Him & we worship Him more. This is the process of sanctification as we are being transformed into His image, from this glory to the eternal. The Christian journey is a struggle. But we know that it ends with victory in Him!
God is with Us
Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way & to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His voice. Exodus 23:20-21 The unknown can be scary. Just as a child may be afraid to enter a dark room alone, …
