Strong Faith/Small Faith

…if you believe, you will see the glory of God. John 11:40

Jesus hears Martha’s heartbreaking words as she leans into him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” How he perhaps wipes her tears while reminding her of the hope she has clung to in the past: “Your brother will rise again.” Finally, after Jesus supports her hope with resurrection truth, she whispers, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.”

Have you experienced moments when God personally comforted you in times of sorrow or doubt or weariness? You settled into his love with enough faith to walk the path ahead? You found unbelievable strength to keep on keeping on?

Mourning crowds rush toward the tomb, Mary and Martha cling to each other as a weeping Jesus goes to the grave of his friend. The Martha who moments ago expressed her faith in words that echo down through the ages, now says, “But Lord… By this time there is a bad odor for he has been there four days.” From a strong faith she returns to the reality of death.

We understand Martha’s strong faith/small faith all too well. We have seen God work miracles in our lives and in the lives of those we hold dear. We whisper our own statements of faith, but when “reality” hits, we falter. Just a bit.

When Jesus told the bystanders to remove Lazarus’ binding grave clothes, I wonder if some of Martha’s small faith wrappings also fell off? She will need her growing faith in the days ahead as she sees her precious Jesus betrayed, beaten, crucified. But I think that even in tears her steps were a little stronger, her thinking a little clearer as she recalled the faith expanding action of her Savior when the glory of God was revealed at the resurrection.

Oh dear Father, I cry out with the words of a father desperate for his son’s healing, “I do believe! Help me overcome my unbelief” (Mark 9:24).

Return to Me

“..for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.” Luke 15:24

Lisa was dating a man who didn’t believe in Christ as she did.

Instead of breaking off the relationship, she gradually pulled away from God.
Within two years, the man broke up with Lisa.
She was tempted to believe that life was no longer worth living.

“But,” Lisa admitted, “if anyone understands, it’s God.”

So she returned to church.
She prayed and cried through most of the service.

An old friend listened as Lisa unfolded the past two years.
The friend responded with the story of the prodigal son and reassuringly added,

“God the Father is so glad you’re back!”

Dear one, have you taken a step away from God?

Return to Him.
Your heavenly Father will welcome you back with open arms.

Facing Changes

“Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

This was the first time in years that I would not be buying school supplies! I should have done cartwheels! Instead my thoughts were mixed. My year had been filled with change. New schedules and routines, a graduation, a wedding, a funeral, changes in friendships ….

They say change is the only constant in life. Some changes we like, others burden us down. Here are some principles I’ve learned in seasons of change.

1. Maximize the pros and minimize the cons. Every change has positive and negative aspects. The balance isn’t always equal. Choose to maximize the positive points and not linger on the negative ones. Choose to smile.

2. Appreciate people. We need each other, especially during change. Dare to reach out.

3. Cultivate a thankful heart. Never doubt the goodness of God toward you. Find small things to be thankful for. Gratitude is tonic for the soul. Choose thankfulness.

4. Invite God into every change. Some changes are hard and we struggle against them. Ask God to give you the strength and wisdom you need. He can be counted on when no one and nothing else can! He promises you will find rest. Invite Jesus.

Lord God, I can’t always choose the changes that come my way. But with Your heIp I can change my response. Thank you that You love me and will carry me through all my changes, especially the hard ones. Help me to live well where I am today and find my rest and my peace in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Take Action: Get to know Jesus at a deeper level. Find His rest in the middle of your changes.

There’s Hope for Us Too

“By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.” Hebrews 11:9

Do you ever stop to think about your sin? Maybe you feel overwhelmed, tired of the daily struggle against sin. Perhaps you wonder why God continues to guide you, to love you, to keep you in the faith. If anyone had reason to wonder that, it would have been Jacob.

Jacob wasn’t the most righteous man on earth. He definitely wasn’t mentioned as righteous like Job was. He wasn’t taken up to heaven like Enoch. Jacob deceived his father to get what he wanted. He had children with four women. His family was a mess as well. In fact, Jacob didn’t have a spiritual awakening until later in his life.

Jacob was a train wreck, and yet what do we see in Hebrews? He’s in the hall of faith. He received the same promise Abraham and Isaac received: part temporal and part eternal. Jacob received the promise his descendants would be a great nation and the eternal gift they would be children of God.

God doesn’t give up on His children, even when they fall short. Just look at Jacob. God continued to guide him, bless him, and even allowed Jacob to die with all of his children near him, including his long lost son, Joseph. We need not constantly worry about all of our shortcomings and how we miss the mark. Instead, we should focus on becoming righteous, with the help of the Holy Spirit, by having faith that God will continue to carry us, come what may.

Dear Lord, thank you for saving us despite our inadequacy and failures. Please give me the grace to fight sin in light of your love. Amen.

Read Hebrews 11

God Turns Nobodies into Somebodies

Published April 14, 2024

God Turns Nobodies into Somebodies

“We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody.” Romans 4:17 (MSG)

Abraham was an ordinary guy. There was nothing spectacular about him. He had no hidden talents, no supernatural faith, no outstanding ideas, and no blazing personality. He was a nobody.

But God took that ordinary man and turned him into a somebody.

I’m an ordinary girl. But I believe in a God who raises the dead to life and who makes something out of nothing. He did that for me.

When I met Jesus and turned my life over to Him, I saw my sin for what it was — a vile ugly mess. I opened my heart to His forgiveness, and this undeserved privilege, this grace, made me one of His own children!

God took this nobody of a girl and turned her into a somebody. And He can do the same for you!

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God freely and graciously declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.” Romans 3:23-25 (NLT)

If you have never invited Christ into your life, this gift is waiting for you. Or maybe you’ve accepted it, but have put it on the shelf to collect dust. God is waiting for you to receive His grace, and let Him transform your life. All you have to do is say yes.

Lord, I’m a sinner and I know there’s nothing I can do to rescue me from my sins. I believe You did it all for me when You paid the price for my sins. I surrender my life to You. Amen.

Thought: If you prayed this prayer today, tell someone, such as a family member, friend or pastor

Is Jesus Asleep?

“And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.” Matthew 8:23- 24 (ESV)

You have accepted Him as Your Savior — you have followed Christ into the boat. Now, in a stormy part of your life when the waves of despairing doubt are crashing in and you need Him the most, does He seem to be asleep?

I think that all Christians have felt that way at one time or another. I know I have. Even David in the Psalms was known to cry out and ask God why He was being so silent. But it is during those seemingly silent times that we can learn so much. What happened when the disciples in that boat called on Jesus?

Jesus was asleep as the storm raged. Why? Because he had total trust that God would protect Him. He was at peace. Jesus knew His life was protected and that God would not let Him down. He wanted His disciples to sleep in peace as well. He still does. If we have faith, we can rest in the assurance that no matter how our boat is tossed, God will be there with the life preserver.

“Jesus was….” He didn’t leave them. He was right there with them in the boat the whole time. They followed Him into the boat. He didn’t vanish in a poof into Heaven and say, “OK, it’s all yours. Now, you handle it. See you later.” No matter what we go through, we can be confident our Lord is right there beside us. We can call on Him.

Jesus responded to his disciples’ pleas for help. He calmed the waves. Maybe like the disciples, you also scream for Jesus to wake up and do something, then marvel, just as they did, when He does it. There is an older Christian song that says sometimes He calms the storm, but other times He calms His child. The point is, He calms.

Dear Lord, thank you for never leaving my side in good times and in bad.
Let me rest in Your peace knowing that whatever happens, You are with me.
Amen.

Thought: The next storm, will you scream out to call on Jesus? Or will you honker down next to Him and rest peacefully in His arms?

I’m so Impatient, Lord

“But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience . . .” Galatians 5:22

Lately, I have noticed how impatient I am. The other day, I was driving home—it was rush hour traffic and I planned to drive the back roads so I would miss the traffic, but there were police cars blocking them, so I had to drive the Highway, knowing full well that when I got to the intersection, I would have to wait for several light changes before I could make the left turn. One light change, two light changes then three light changes and I was feeling very inpatient. Then the thought came to my mind,

“Does it really matter—in light of eternity?” “Why don’t’ you pray for the people in the truck ahead of you?”

When I began to pray for the people in the truck ahead of me, the time went fast and soon I was able to make the left hand turn and was home in a few minutes.

Lord, when I think about it, I wonder why I was in such a hurry? I don’t have kids waiting for me at home anymore. I guess I am still habitually busy like I was when the children were still at home, when we had the farm, when our parents were sick, when we were in full time ministry, etc., etc. But now my life has slowed down —I have more time to enjoy life —but sometimes I forget, Lord. Slow me down Lord! Help me be calm, relax and enjoy my day – my husband, my family, my friends, my neighbors, and the people I meet. I need the Holy Spirit to control my life and produce patience every moment of the day. Amen.

PRESS ON

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 NASB

Setting new goals doesn’t have to be associated just with New Year’s resolutions. We’re free to set them at any time throughout the year for any number of things. We only have to be motivated or inspired by someone or some new concept or vision.

I will.
I was particularly impressed when our young teenager set his “I Will” goals. Following the example set by his parents he determined to set stretch goals in his early morning workout routine for the exercise machine, weights and core strength training. It was pretty inspiring to me! Most teens prefer to sleep.

Reflecting on my spiritual growth goals I made the commitment many years ago that I will follow Jesus. Setting values, standards and goals around lifestyle, choices, Bible study, friendships, places I go, how I spend my time all factor in to my journey of faith.

I can.
By trusting the Lord each day I can face life and its troubles and challenges. I lean on God and depend on His wisdom and guidance. I pray and He listens to me. I press on because I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. He will never leave or abandon me in the midst of the storms.

I am.
It encourages me to remember that I am a child of God. As I draw closer to Him in relationship He lifts me up and holds me in His hand. He comforts, guides, protects, and empowers me according to His will. As His child I enjoy all the benefits of having Him as my Father: blessing and favor and an eternal home in heaven with Him

– the ultimate goal to have.

Lord, help me to press on with my goals as I seek to please, serve, honor and glorify you.

What goals have you set for yourself?

Snares

We had a plague of chipmunks at our house. They were making our yard “hole-y,” gnawing wiring, and making a general nuisance of themselves.

When one family of chipmunks moved into the space between the basement ceiling and the floor above for the winter, I took great offense. Something had to be done! I baited my Have-a-Heart trap with irresistible morsels– sunflower seeds. Within minutes, I had my first victim, and my re-location project began taking them to a nice wooded place far from my house. Thirty-six chipmunks later, it seemed the colony had been de-populated. However, the next year, I had to exercise the same due diligence when I saw those cute little critters scurrying around the lawn again. I had to keep alert to re-invasion. That season, more chipmunks were dispatched to another place. This year, I know what they can’t resist, and my snare with the irresistible sunflower seeds keeps watch near their runs.

The analogy is clear. If the chipmunks had assessed the danger of the snare as being more important than the instant gratification, they would not have been caught.

The Bible describes Satan as a hunter who sets traps (Psalms 91:3, 1Timothy 3:7). His traps take us by surprise (Ecclesiastes. 9:12). Snares are hidden and catch us unexpectedly (Amos 3:5, Obadiah 7). They hold fast their catch (Job 18:9). It takes someone else to get us out, in our case, God.

Can God’s children be captured? The obvious answer is “Yes” (Psalms 140:5). What are the snares that hold us captive and hinder us from going on with God? What prevents our freedom in Jesus? What is keeping us from liberty in His Holy Spirit? What does the Bible say about what entraps us?

What snares tempt us and entrap us?

Alliances, making peace with the world Exodus 34:12
False gods, idols, serving other gods, or serving God like others serve their gods Deuteronomy 7:16
Desire for riches Deuteronomy 7:25, 1 Timothy 6:9
Enemies of God Joshua 23:13
Relationships not ordained of God 1 Samuel 18:21
Good things Judges 8:27
Leaders Job 34:30, Jeremiah 5:26, Hosea 5:1
Prosperity and security Psalms 69:22
The wicked Psalms 119:110, 141:9; Proverbs 22:5
Proud men Psalms 140:5
People Psalms 142:3
Words of our mouths Proverbs 6:2, 18:7
Sexual seduction Proverbs 7:23, Ecclesiastes 7:26
Sinful talk (transgression of our lips) Proverbs 12:13
Ill-gotten fortune Proverbs 21:6
Our own sin Proverbs 29:6
Fear of man Proverbs 29:25
Reliance on religious tradition and wisdom of man instead of the Word of God Isaiah 8:14-15

We avoid being captured in the snares of sin by being warned by the Word of God and not straying from it (Psalms 119:110). To get out of the trap of the evil one, we must ask God to grant repentance, so that we can escape from being held captive to do the will of our adversary (2 Timothy 2:25-26). Then we cry out for God’s mercy, receive God’s forgiveness, and ask Him to empower us by His Spirit to obey from a heart that is totally His.

The Relentless Tide of Gods Love

We sat on the beach watching the waves crash in and wash out. As they splashed against the rocks there was an amazing spray of ocean droplets, shining like diamonds in the afternoon sun.

Later that evening we sat on the same beach. In the semi-darkness of the full moon night we could faintly see the rush of the waves still splashing upon the rocks. We could hear the same rumble as their rhythm beat against the shore.

The heavy rock formations along the beach were carved in amazing shapes by the waves as the relentless tide took them out and brought them in again. The constant washing over the rocks changed the faces of them and, over time, change along the whole beach was evident.

As I sat there, aware of the never ceasing motion of the waves I thought of God’s love. Much like the ocean it beats a steady, constant rhythm in our lives, washing over the hard places creating a newness that we marvel at. Sometimes it comes in gentle waves and warms our hearts. Other times His love crashes in on us in surprising ways that catch us off guard. Yet His love is sure and will never fail us.

Just as sure as the tide comes in and goes out daily, we can rest assured that the relentless tide of God’s love will encase us in His never-ending care. He will create new and wonderful formations within our hearts. His faithful love can be depended upon in the gentle waves and in the crashing rumble as it surrounds us daily. Though it’s not always predictable and tame, God’s love is always good! Trust it. He is your faithful God and He loves You with an everlasting love that always has your best interest at heart.

“I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.” Psalm 52:8b

Father God, Thank you that Your love never ceases. Thank you for washing over my life with Your amazing love and grace. Please help me to trust Your love always, even when it seems hard to understand. May I trust Your never-ending care and allow the new formations in my heart that You alone can create. Thank you Lord! I pray this in the name of Jesus, amen.

Get Rid of Guilt

“We were the ones who strayed away like sheep! We, who left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet God laid on Him (Jesus) the guilt and sins of every one of us!” Isaiah 53:5

Not long ago, I read some results of a survey that found that most women live with a constant feeling of guilt. We feel guilty because we are eating too much, we are not exercising enough, and we don’t spend enough time with our kids, husband, relatives, or friends. And even though we can’t squeeze one more thing into our already frenzied schedule, we feel guilty because we are not doing enough, or because we aren’t doing what we see other women doing.

Last week I had lunch with an extremely gifted woman. She told me she felt guilty because she was not doing more of the things I was doing. I wasn’t surprised she said this, because there seems to be an epidemic of guilt feelings among women today.

I have learned that there are two kinds of guilt: real guilt and false guilt.

My friend was feeling false guilt, and this is what I told her: “God has given you many wonderful gifts and an amazing way with people. People love you. You are so good at what you do. I couldn’t possibly do those things. If you didn’t do what you did, those things would be left undone. You are just where the Lord wants you to be.”

The enemy of our souls is the “accuser,” and he will try to put these feelings of “not good enough” into our minds and hearts. Usually he puts this vague feeling of guilt on us, but nothing really specific. Don’t listen to him.

There is, however, a kind of guilt that is real. Sometimes we have sinful attitudes, or do and say sinful things. We may speak angry words, swear, gossip, entertain jealousy, flirt with someone, have an affair, or eat or drink too much. The Holy Spirit will convict you of these specific sins, and you will need to admit and confess them. Then, as 1 John 1:9 says, He will forgive and cleanse you — take away your guilt.

We need not walk with feelings of guilt. Christ has set us free from guilt and sin. Let’s walk in the freedom of forgiveness.

Father, thank You for freeing us from all guilt and sin through Your Son’s death on the cross. Enable us to walk in the freedom of forgiveness. Amen.

Never Abandoned

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say with confidence,

“the Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid what can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5,6

Do you sometimes feel all alone in the world? Like you’ve been forsaken by the persons who you expected would love you, protect you, and support you? Feeling abandoned is a scary thing.

We will all have these feelings of being disappointed in people. There are certain securities that only Jesus can give us personally and through his Word.

Sometimes this act of abandonment happened years ago, but the feeling is still there. It’s a flash back from an earlier experience that happened in your childhood. In my case it dates back to when I was about five years old and found myself all alone in a terrible air raid. (World War II had come to our town) The house was shaking, smoke and dust swirled outside, pieces of lumbar flew past the window. And the noise was deafening. My mother had taken the younger two children to the cellar, but for whatever reason, I had not followed her. I was alone in a world gone crazy.

Now when these feelings of abandonment come to me—sometimes out of the blue—I remind myself of the truth. Yes, it did happen but it doesn’t change my security now. As a Christian I’m never truly abandoned.

God Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake you, nor let you down, I will not relax my hold on you! Assuredly not! (Hebrews 13: 5,6 Amplified.)

When feelings of insecurity come, counter them with the truth of God’s word like the above: God says, ”I will not forsake you, nor let you down, I will not relax my hold on you! Assuredly not! That’s the truth and I can count on it.

Be Blessed, Beloved Child

Receive God’s Word in John 17:23 NLT.

“I in them and you in me… Then the world will know…and will understand that you love them as much as you love me.”

At His baptism and transfiguration, God affirmed His love and pleasure in His Son. He said to Jesus, “You are the Son I love. I am well pleased with you” (Mathew 3:17; 17:5). Because you are in Him, the Father loves you with the same love (John 17:23,26). You are God’s beloved; that is the most intimate truth about you. It has to be true, because Jesus said it. Be blessed to live from the blessing of belovedness, not trying to attain it.

You are precious to your Father. He celebrates your existence. You were infinitely loved before you were wounded. That’s the truth of your life. There is no burden on you to prove you are worthy of being loved, of being heard, of being respected, honored, and given dignity. Your life is an unceasing “yes” to the truth that you are beloved because of God’s great love. In Him you are accepted and valued.

It is your spirit connection with your Father that matters. People do not give you legitimacy. True legitimacy comes from the One who chose you with everlasting love. Your Father says, “I called you by name from the very beginning. You belong to me. I know you as my own, and you know Me as your own true Father. I carved you in the palms of My Son. I hide you in My embrace. You have My infinite tenderness.”

Say “Yes” to your belovedness, your significance, your worth, and your belonging. His “Yes” is engraved on your heart. Rise up to discover how to fulfill your deepest essence of who you are, beloved in God your Father and kept in His Son.

Be blessed in the name of the Beloved Son.
Matthew 3:17 NKJV

Something Beautiful

“The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” Psalm 126:3

Diane Morrow grew up in a Christian home. But she wasn’t aware she needed a personal relationship with Jesus until college.

One Spring Break at the beach, she saw people sharing with complete strangers, telling them how Jesus made a difference in their life. Diane recognized they had a relationship with Jesus that she needed and wanted.

Alone in her dorm room reading a Bible study lesson she’d received, Diane knew she needed Christ to be in control of her life. She asked Jesus to come into her heart.

It didn’t stop there. Diane discovered the joy of reading and applying God’s Word. And, after experiencing twenty years, she marvels at the adventure of following Christ and the reality of God in her life. God made a difference for Diane and He can for you too!

Take the Leap

Published April 4, 2024

Take the Leap

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23

My son posted a video of his two buddies and him bungee jumping. The song ‘Let it Go‘ played as I watched the first young man being harnessed in and clasped to the long, elastic rope. The employee carefully checked the straps and guided the friend through the gate to the launch pad. The jumper shifted his weight and swallowed hard as he inched closer to the edge. He surveyed the deep canyon below, looked at the camera, and then said to the attendant, “Will you, will you push me?” The reply: “No, you have to jump.”

My son’s friend had safety-sealed gear secured around his middle, the company possessed a solid reputation and a group of friends cheered in support. Perhaps it was the survival instinct within that rendered him pale! As I watched the video, I imagined that span between his feet leaving the platform and the point of rebound. A leap of faith never looked more tangible!

Over and over, I am led to the precipice of uncertainty or change and given the option to jump, by faith, into a vast unknown. Sometimes the free-fall is terrifying. But the adrenaline rush of living by faith is balanced by the solid foundation of God’s unchanging nature and promises.

Lord, please remind me daily to walk in the confidence that you are my constant guide and protection. Amen.

Thought: Take time to review the ways God has protected and guided you through difficult times and thank Him, in advance, for how He will continue to do so in the future.
