When He tells us to move, we need to move. When He tells us to be still, then we need to be still. The pattern of His movement in our own lives may also be unpredictable. We too need to trust Him & know that if He hasn’t moved yet, it is because He wants us where we are. Also, if He moves too quickly or takes us somewhere that we do not want to go, He is Lord. Whether we know it or not, we want to be wherever He takes us because that is where His Presence dwells. Being in His will is the most comforting & safe place to be.

In Good Times and Bad
“But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not heed them.” (Exodus 8:15) Pharaoh begged for relief, but when it came, he did not keep the promises that he made. I realize that Pharaoh probably never intended to keep his promise. He just said …
God, Intervene!
Have you ever had a time in your life when you were practically begging God to intervene? I have! I have prayed fervently, “Lord, please do something! I know that You are able! Send someone to help, work in the circumstances of this day, send me a reversal!” Let me …
They Loved Us First
Every year on Mother’s Day my mom tells me that she loves me and that I am such a good mom. I always think, if I am, it’s only because you were a good mom first. You taught me everything I know. Not only that, but you are teaching my kids …
