We Can Depend On God
WE CAN DEPEND ON GOD We can depend on God to lead us even though we cannot see the big picture. We have Someone who is higher than us and He can see what we cannot see. We may be surrounded by problems or obstacles that cause our vision to be blurred, but God wants to…
God's Ways
OUR THOUGHTS AND GOD THOUGHTS Our thoughts have profound effect on our lives. In our minds, if we have to admit it, we are filtering everything we see, hear and are exposed to through our minds. It is strange but we tend to have thoughts, opinions and perspectives on every conceivable thing, even things we may…
Seeing Life from God's Perspective
SEEING LIFE FROM GOD’S PERSPECTIVE When we begin to see life from God’s perspective we see life differently. Many of the great men and women of God have had an understanding of God’s perspective and that has changed their lives. Moses is a prime example. He had run away from Egypt and was living in…
The Big Picture
Often times our perspective on things is very limited. We see things from our perspective and from our viewpoint. It reminds me of a tree. We may see the beauty of the tree, the branches and the beautiful shade it provides. What we don’t see is how that tree works and grows and the root…
The Importance of His Presence
AT HIS FEET ‘Down at your feet oh Lord, is the most high place.’ This is a line from a song. It is special to me because it captures something of what God wants us to realize. Prayer is just coming to the feet of the One who understands. It is a place of humility. It is a place…
Looking Into His Face
OUR FATHER God is our Father. As with our earthly fathers, we should be able to communicate with ease. He wants us to come and talk to Him and He is waiting just to listen to us speaking to Him. Jesus taught us to pray to Our Father. Luke 11:2 So He said to them, “When you…

Some things in life we complicate. It often seems that the simple things in life become so complicated that we simply don’t do them. Prayer is one of those things. For many reasons we complicate the issue of prayer. The result is we end up excluding prayer from our lives, when in effect it is a very simple…
Living in the Light
LIVING IN THE LIGHT The effect of having the light of God in our lives should be visible. You can’t hide a candle in a dark room. Ephesians 5:8-9 Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) (NIV) As a result of the light of…
Light in Our Hearts
KEEPING OURSELVES PURE When we get into things that are wrong we put things in the way of this light in our souls. But if we keep ourselves pure and endeavor to live clean lives we can enjoy this light. Matthew 6:22 ‘If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul.’ Matthew…
The Holy Spirit is the Source of Light
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SOURCE OF LIGHT The Holy Spirit wants to bring the light into our lives. He wants to give us fullness of joy. Have you ever experienced your electricity going off and having to find a candle or the electrical switch box in the total darkness? It is interesting to see that under such…
