Finding Hope in: Justice
This is what the Lord says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.” (Isaiah 56:1) Every day, we are presented with decisions to make. We can either choose the right decisions or the wrong ones. Our Father gives us the ability to choose for ourselves which decisions to make. To choose what is unjust only alters our growth, as we will then be led to the next roadblock, at which point we can choose to

Why you should Embrace your Imperfections!
Do you ever wish you were faster, smarter, richer.... just better? Sometimes I think if I had the brain of doctor I would not have to take the long haul around, but then again I might not develop internally if I didn’t proceed on my journey. Trying to be perfect makes me tired. And sometimes my imperfections make other people tired! I'll never be the fastest, the smartest, or the richest. If I plan on that, I'll die trying. Maybe for a short minute we should stop looking at o

Finding Hope in: Miracles
Then he said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, “Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.” So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling so

Seeking God First
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15) With life’s complexities, it is increasingly difficult to hear God’s voice. We must commit that we will choose to serve the Lord and not submit to the ways of the world so that God’s

Finding Hope in: Temptation
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds. (James 1:2) Trials present us with opportunity for change, and we rely on our faith to overcome. If we remain stagnant in hardship, we allow the enemy to attack us. Be prepared ahead, using scripture as your shield, and ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance and direction. Here you learn to let go of your feelings and replace them with the spirit. Count on good things to come out of worldly tri

Positive Words
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21) The treasure of our hearts come out through our spoken Word. We can declare victory over our lives by speaking Truth, or we can secure our failure by speaking negativity. Take note of your words each day, for this is an evaluation of our hearts. If our hearts are indeed striving for life, we can speak light into any darkness that surrounds us. Conversely, the beauty of a gar

Holiness
I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground. I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy. (Leviticus 11:44–45) Holiness is a virtue that few find in a world that is unclean and works effortlessly to destroy our God-given destinies into the likeness of Christ. We must therefore strive continuously to become like ou
