Still Waters | May 13th

"He leads me besides still waters."

Psalm 23:2

With early Spring comes the fishing season. The streams are generally full this time of year. They are cool and dark. Running swiftly but without much noise or disturbance. As a child, it was one of my favorite times of the fishing season. The tranquility has a refreshing quality.

The Holy Spirit leads us daily. The Spirit of God brings peace to our hearts. He helps our minds to be at peace. We are not always aware of the Spirit's abiding presence, but He lives within us. The Holy Spirit is at work within this world and constantly refreshes the weary child of God. He restores our soul and brings the word of God alive. Illuminating the scripture unto us, so that we might grow in the grace of God.

The Holy Spirit is with you today. Let Him lead you and refresh your heart.

In Christ Alone.

Strength in Trials | May 12th

"Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength. "

Habakkuk 3:17-19

There is hardship and uncertainty in life, but God is with us. He will help you today. The Spirit of God will give you peace as you look to Him. It may not be easy, and you may have many questions, but He will never leave you.

The circumstances of life seem to have their plans outside of ours and beyond our control. God is always working through His providence. He has good thoughts toward you, and His plans are filled with His amazing love.

You can trust that the goodness of God is at work and He will be faithful to you. The Lord will strengthen you today. Let us find our rest in Him.

In Christ Alone.

Count Your Blessings | May 9th

"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds."

Psalm 9:1

What will you remember today? How shall you look back over the week and the months that have passed, fading into years?

There are times of sorrow, failures, and missed opportunities. This narrow perspective can embitter the heart and rob one of hope. It is far better for us to recall all the blessings of God. Let us begin the day by counting God's promises kept. The prayers He has answered, and remember the Lord's daily provisions in our lives.

The Lord has done far more than we can recall and understand. We must give thanks to God with all of our hearts. Doing our best to recite each miracle and the wonder of saving grace. Give thanks to the Lord today and count your blessings.

In Christ Alone.
