What is Fear
The other day my co-worker shared with me this great acronym for “fear”:
F = false
E = evidence
A = appearing
R = real
It is good to remind ourselves often of the things we worried about that never happened, of the needs we had that God provided, of the hard times that God brought us through, of the things God worked together for our good, of all the ways that God showed us His love and proved Himself faithful.
Romans 8:28 “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His ...
Bait of Satan -How Could This Happen To Me?
Joseph said to them..." But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good." Genesis 50:19-20
I am part of a small group studying The Bait of Satan, by John Bevere. In his book, he groups offended people into two major categories: (1) those who have been genuinely mistreated and (2) those who think they have been mistreated but actually were not.
Let's take a look at the first one and ask yourself the question: If you've been genuinely mistreated, do you have the right to be offended? We can find the answer in looking at the life of Joseph. ...
An Invisible Work–Wait on the Lord
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
Trees have specific seasons for dormancy- a time when the tree appears to be inactive and not growing. This season of rest comes immediately prior to a season of rapid and accelerated growth. During dormancy, the cells and tissues within the tree are being repaired and built up. This activity is invisible to the eye. The tree is quietly preparing for the spring.
Dormancy is one of the most important periods in the life cycle of the tree. It is how a tree becomes fit for ...

This was taken from my daily calendar of godly principles and has been an encouragement to me to continue to put everything into God's hands...
"We would fret less and trust more if we could simply see things through God's eyes, think His thoughts, know His mind, understand His plan, and
be more familiar with His ways. God will show us many things along the way, but He often holds back the details of what He is doing with us and for
us. He does this, not to keep us in the dark, but to keep us dependent upon Him." by Roy Lessin
The B-I-B-L-E
Who is God? What does He do? Where did He come from? Why does He love us? Will I ever see Him? Questions like these can be found in book that God wrote, the Bible. If we want to know and understand God we have to read His book and get to know the author of this amazing gift. D.L. Moody observed, “The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives.” God’s Holy Word is, indeed, a life-changing, one of a-kind treasure! Do you know that when we memorized God’s Word, we not only learn about Him but God will help us to do the right thing when we ...
