Take God's Hand

Lord, what do You want to communicate today? "Keep on the straight and narrow path. Many attempts of the enemy will offer tantalizing ideas and opportunities to lead you off-course. Stay the course.

Shun the Doubt!

Light vs. Darkness

"The people in darkness have seen a great light. (Is. 9:2) I have come that they may have light - the Light that gives light to men, to mankind. It is not artificial light but true light.

Dashed Hopes

Holy Spirit Moves

"When the wind in the willow brings joy to its leaves [ causing them to dance and sway ], you know that My Spirit is on the move. You cannot see Him, but you know He is present and active. You must know the same is true for your life. The Spirit moves in your midst, but you cannot see where He is, where He's going, or where He's directing you.
