Do you remember watching a baby learn to walk? First, she holds Mom’s hand tightly, walking with the reassurance of that grip. Soon she lets go, taking tentative steps on her chubby legs. Back and forth she walks, from Mom to Dad and back to Mom. She has complete confidence; her parents will protect her. Continue reading “A Child’s First Steps”

Waiting on God
Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don’t want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of ‘good time’ is seldom in sync with ours.” ― Oswald Chambers Oh, how I want to run down the path,Continue reading “Waiting on God”
Call on Him
How comforting to know that the God of the universe draws near. All I have to do is call on Him.
One Drop in the Ocean
“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.” ― Mother Teresa Lord, it is so easy to just sit back and let someone else do it. But I know that youContinue reading “One Drop in the Ocean”

Forgive us for our arrogance and humble us Lord. Help us to yield to our Creator, to recognize that all we accomplish is throughContinue reading “All Glory to God”
God’s Will
“Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is.” ― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest: Selections for the Year Forgive me, Lord, for wanting to know your plans,Continue reading “God’s Will”
Glorify God
This verse makes me think. Do I eat and drink for the glory of God? What about ordinary, everyday activities like cooking dinner, doing laundry, or driving to the grocery store? How do I do these things to glorify God? I know when I used to iron clothes, I would spend that time in prayer.Continue reading “Glorify God”
