Taking a step back and delving into rest that your body requires is a necessary aspect of resting in God’s presence. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28 Just like we close our eyes to rest in sleep each night, it is […]
Waiting on the Lord produces His righteousness
8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. – Isaiah 55:8-9 So, if waiting on the Lord “renews our strength (Isaiah 40:31),” then why […]
Staying the course
Today’s focus really was about staying the course – – – It’s easy to wiggle around, get antsy, and lose focus when things become distractive or when we give in to our frustrations. But the Bible tells us just how we can handle that type of energy and keep our focus on the topic at […]

The Beginning of Something New
Today, the Lord began a new thing, which requires a discarding of all things old and an embracing of all things new. When God is ready for you to take the next step in your journey, He will go before you and will make things ready as you begin to step into position. Embrace your […]

Completing the work
…means to complete things in a Spirit of excellence – in a manner of Godly completion. It’s not enough to just “complete your task assignment.” It becomes a work of art, a finished piece, when we work through to Godly completion and to faithfully complete the work that He has begun in you. Philippians 1:6 […]
