The Word of God is filled with hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. I find my time with the Lord an adventure these days. It is like some great expedition to find new worlds--only, I am seeking comfort, answers and aid for my daily life. I am thrilled to tell you that my God has yet to let me down in my search. Honestly, I do not think that we can ever be disappointed with anything God gives us. Anyway, as I dove into His Word today, I found this priceless gem... From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of My hand. No one can undo what I have done. - Isaiah 43:13 (NLT) My heart skipped a beat as I read these words. It came alive in my heart as I realized that during my trip to self pity land--never once did the Lord let go of His loving grip on me. Not once. No one--not even our own flaws, doubts, and failures can snatch us out of the Loving hands of our Mighty God. NO ONE! NO ONE can undo the work He has done and begun in us. No one! Not … [Read more...]
Swallowed up in Victory
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, inasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. - 1 Corinthians 15: 53-58 This has been another rough week. First I was sick, then I had some crazy drama that although I was not apart of directly affected me and put a ton of extra responsibilities on my shoulders. Add in a MIA hubby who's off training for his upcoming military deployment and the stress that is putting … [Read more...]
The Daily – Clumsy and Failing Daily
I find myself in the muck far too often. I often feel like such a failure. I ask myself daily if I am an idiot to think I can minister to anyone when I am by no means an example. I mean just when I think I am finally finding some victory, the rug is yanked out from under me and I am thrown into the middle of a battle I was not prepared for. I am quite clumsy spiritually speaking and fail daily... I try to find comfort in the Word... For a righteous man falls seven times and rises again... Proverbs 24:16a Only to hear the voice in my head reminding me of... Last night's rude comment to my husband just after writing a devotional for wives..."oh what a hypocrite you are", I hear ringing in my ears... And how I didn't follow through on a commitment last week... Or reminding me how many times I failed over the past week... Again, I search the Word for comfort... But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all … [Read more...]
