Awaiting What’s In Store

August 5, 2010

I was thinking about the lyrics of a song that said something about how all creation waits for what’s in store each day. Creation has to wait on God’s plan for the day because it can’t make things happen on its own. Wouldn’t you love to be able to live like that? “No worries…God has [...]

Oftentimes when I pray, I find it helpful to go to the Bible and pray directly from God’s Word. I’d like to think that I always have the right words to pray, but that isn’t always the case. That’s when it’s a comfort to know I don’t have to come up with the right thing [...]

Hope for the Promise

June 24, 2010

For the past few mornings, I’ve been reading in my Bible about how God’s promises bring hope. Abraham had to wait a long time to receive what God promised him.
