Footprints in the Sand

We walk along the water’s edge, watching the foam from the waves rush up, attempting to capture the sand, then fall back to join the blue ocean water. Our heads down, we look in the sand for shells or coral unbroken by the battering waves. I stoop to examine a piece of elkhorn coral brokenContinue reading “Footprints in the Sand”

God of the Empty Spaces

“We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts”― A.W. Tozer Lord of the empty spaces, keep my mind aware of your presence, even when I feel alone, even when I do not sense your presence. Thank you for alwaysContinue reading “God of the Empty Spaces”

“Can you worship a God who isn’t obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?”– Francis Chan Now this quote really makes me think. What do you think about it? Father, teach me humility. Teach me to obey and not “require” anContinue reading “Worship in All Situations”

Gifts from God

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.” I Corinthians 12:4-6 Father God, thank you for sharing your gifts with each one of us. Keep ourContinue reading “Gifts from God”
