Can I rejoice in other people witnessing? If you have been wondering about rejoicing in evangelism Paul makes it clear that it is very much possible. The gospel going out causes rejoicing.

COVID-19 has disrupted life across the globe. But it also offers us a rare opportunity to quiet the business of our normal routines. It gives us the chance to be still and know God in a more intimate way.

Are you in love with Jesus?  Do you long to be near Him?  Does He set your soul on fire?  Do you do whatever you can do to be with Him?

Does loving others ever seem hard or even complex? Jesus kept the concept of loving others simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy.

Spiritual disciplines are like finely honed tools that aid us in our spiritual walk. Each spiritual discipline takes time to develop and the effort to integrate into our daily lives.

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, Laughter is the best medicine. I love to laugh and hope that I am contagious enough to bring joy and happiness to others.

Do you ever just feel like it’s time? Like it’s now or never, do or die, no turning back? I like in the verse where it says God looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time.

Blocking out the bad days have never occurred to me. If I did so, I probably wouldn’t fully appreciate the good days. Like the song “Be Grateful” says, “God has not promised me sunshine. That’s not the way it’s going to be. But a little rain mixed with God’s sunshine. A little pain makes me appreciate the good times.”

God never promised us all good days, but He promised to carry us through all days, good or bad. I place all I have in His hands. And all of my good days outweigh my bad days, so I won’t complain.

In the practical things of life, we can begin to put God first by jumpstarting our day with Him. Through worship, prayer, and Bible study we can bring what really matters into focus.

God is at work in us, in our difficulties, and in situations. Trials and challenges will not always be removed. Some of my prayers have been answered “yes” or “no” Others remain unanswered. In the denial and in the waiting I lean on the One who does what is best for me and never leaves me.
