August 7th 2025 – From Foolishness to Faith: Embracing God’s Wisdom

“People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord.” (Proverbs 19:3)

In our journey through life, it’s easy to point fingers when things go wrong. We often find ourselves frustrated and questioning God’s plans, especially when we face the consequences of our own choices. Proverbs 19:3 serves as a poignant reminder that our missteps can lead to ruin, and yet, rather than taking responsibility, we sometimes direct our anger toward God.

This verse invites us to engage in self-reflection. It challenges us to consider how our decisions—rooted in impulsivity, pride, or a lack of discernment—can lead us down paths of disappointment and heartache. When we ignore wisdom and guidance, we may find ourselves entangled in situations that bring pain, not only to ourselves but also to those around us.

However, this isn’t just a message of warning; it’s also a call to grace. The beauty of our faith lies in the understanding that God is always ready to meet us where we are. When we acknowledge our mistakes and bring our frustrations to Him, we open the door to healing and restoration. He invites us to learn from our foolishness, to seek His wisdom, and to trust in His unfailing love.

As you go through your day, take a moment to reflect on your choices. Are there areas where you may be acting foolishly? How can you invite God into those situations to bring about change and understanding? Consider journaling your thoughts and prayers, allowing space for God’s wisdom to guide you moving forward. Remember, it’s never too late to seek His direction and embrace the grace He offers.

“True wisdom begins when we acknowledge our missteps, embrace God’s grace, and choose to learn from our foolishness rather than blame Him for our choices.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word that guides us and for the wisdom found in Proverbs. Help us to recognize our own foolishness when we stray from Your path. Teach us to take responsibility for our choices and to seek Your guidance in every decision we make. When we feel angry or frustrated with our circumstances, remind us of Your grace and the mercy You offer. May we learn to lean on You, trusting that You can bring good out of our mistakes. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

June 22nd 2025 – Embracing the Silence

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)


As a parent, many have adult children that choose not to, or have very limited contact with thier parent’s after they leave home. For those who are or have experienced this, the pain of estrangement can feel like a heavy weight on your heart. You may find yourself questioning where things went wrong, replaying moments in your mind, and grappling with feelings of abandonment. It’s easy to feel isolated, especially when your adult children have chosen silence over connection.

In the midst of this pain, you may also face judgment from others. Friends, family, or acquaintances may hear about your situation and jump to conclusions, assuming you must have done something wrong. Their judgment, often based on limited understanding, can add to your heartache. It’s painful when others fail to see the complexities of family dynamics and the unique struggles that you face.

In these moments of deep sorrow, we must remember that our worth is not defined by our relationships with others, no matter how painful the current situation may be. God sees your heart and knows the love you have poured into your children. He understands the confusion and hurt that come when they turn away, and He knows the truth of your situation.

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of God’s sovereign plan for our lives. Even when we cannot see the way forward, we can trust that He is working behind the scenes for our good and His glory. Perhaps this time of estrangement is an opportunity for growth—for you, for your children, and within your relationship with God.

Take a moment today to write a letter to your children, expressing your love and hopes for reconciliation. Even if you never send it, this act can be a powerful release of your feelings. When faced with judgment from others, remind yourself that their perceptions do not define your reality. Consider reaching out to a trusted friend or support group who can walk alongside you during this difficult time. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and God is with you every step of the way.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart, burdened by the silence that fills my relationship with my children. I feel lost and abandoned, and I long for the connection we once had. Help me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when I don’t understand them. Grant me peace in the midst of this pain, and remind me that I am never truly alone. May Your love fill the spaces created by estrangement, and may I find comfort in Your presence. I pray for my children, that they may find their way back to You and to me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

April 4th 2025 – Transformation of the Heart

“If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.” (Matthew 5:29-30)

For many years, I viewed these verses through the lens of hyperbole, interpreting them as a call for radical action against the things in our lives that lead us astray. I imagined it as a metaphorical amputation—a drastic measure to remove the sources of sin. While this interpretation holds a semblance of truth, a deeper revelation awaits us, one that is both mind-blowing and transformative.

In the verse preceding this instruction, Jesus reveals a profound truth: “If anyone looks at a woman lustfully, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Here, Jesus is unveiling the root of the issue: our hearts. The Sermon on the Mount emphasizes that our actions are merely manifestations of what resides within us. They are the fruits of a tree, and that tree is our heart.

Consider the plight of a man struggling with lust. He may take the drastic step of cutting off his hand to prevent inappropriate touch. However, he soon realizes that lust is not confined to his hands; it can thrive in his thoughts and desires. So, he gouges out his eye, yet finds no relief. The cycle continues—he cuts out his tongue to silence sinful words, and then his ears to block out seductive sounds. But with each severed limb, he discovers that the root of his sin remains intact.

Herein lies the mind-blowing revelation: Jesus is not merely advocating for the removal of body parts; He is calling for a radical heart transformation. The truth is, no external action can eradicate the sin that resides in our hearts. Our efforts at behavior modification will always fall short unless we invite Jesus to perform the ultimate surgery—removing our hardend and sinful hearts and replacing them with a new heart and spirit. Something only He can do.

In Ezekiel 36, God promises, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

This is the crux of Christianity—not merely changing our actions, but experiencing a complete transformation from the inside out.

As we reflect on these verses, let us not become entangled in the futile cycle of trying to cut out our sins. Instead, let us surrender our hearts to Jesus, the Great Physician, who has the power to transform us. It is in this radical transformation that we find true freedom and the ability to live a life that is pleasing to God.

“Christianity in not about behavior modification, it’s about Heart Tranformation!

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the promise of a new heart. I invite Jesus Christ into my life today, recognizing my need for His transformative power. Help me to see the areas where I have relied on my own efforts to change instead of surrendering fully to You. Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me. May I embrace the freedom that comes from being transformed by Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

January 2nd 2025 – A New Way

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:18-19)

In these powerful verses, God calls us to release our hold on the past. The Israelites were reminded of their struggles and the weight of their history, yet God offers a profound promise: He is making something new. This same invitation is extended to us today.

Holding onto our past—both the pain and the glory—can often prevent us from experiencing the fullness of what God wants to do in our lives. When we dwell on former things, we risk being stuck, unable to move forward into the new horizons God has prepared for us.

God’s Creative Power:

God’s declaration, “I am making a way in the wilderness,” reminds us that He is always at work, even when we find ourselves in barren or difficult places. The wilderness represents our struggles, doubts, and uncertainties. Yet, God promises to bring forth streams of hope and renewal in those very wastelands.

Awakening Awareness:

The phrase “Do you not perceive it?” encourages us to sharpen our vision. Are we aware of the new things God is doing around us? Sometimes, our focus on the past can blind us to the present and future opportunities God is crafting.

Take a moment to sit quietly and reflect on the areas of your life that you may still be holding onto. Ask God to reveal the new things He is doing, and listen for His guidance.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help me to let go of the burdens of my past. Open my heart and mind to the new things You are doing in my life. Teach me to trust in Your guidance as You create paths in my wilderness. May I find joy and hope in the streams You are providing amidst my challenges. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

December 13th 2024 – Navigating Relationships with Adult Children

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

The dynamics between elderly parents and their adult children can often be quite intricate and challenging, particularly when issues such as substance abuse and disruptive behavior come into play. The Scriptures offer us valuable insights into familial responsibilities and the significance of mutual respect, yet they also urge us to exercise wisdom and discernment in our relationships.

In Proverbs 22:6, we are reminded of the pivotal role that parents have in guiding their children from a young age. This foundational influence is crucial, as instilling values and principles can have a lasting impact. However, as children transition into adulthood, they become accountable for their own decisions and actions. When adult children engage in harmful behaviors, it is essential for parents to take a step back and carefully assess the living arrangements and the effects on their own mental and emotional well-being.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother’—which is the first commandment with a promise—’so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.'” (Ephesians 6:1-3)

Ephesians 6:1-3 articulates a divine directive for children to honor their parents. This honor is not merely about blind obedience but encompasses respect, care, and acknowledgment of the sacrifices made. If adult children are exhibiting toxic or abusive behaviors, the concept of honor may need to be reevaluated. Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries becomes crucial to ensure that love and respect flow in both directions, fostering a nurturing environment for all involved.

“Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” (1 Timothy 5:8)

Additionally, 1 Timothy 5:8 emphasizes the moral obligation to care for one’s family. While this primarily pertains to financial support, it also speaks to the emotional and spiritual responsibilities that come with such relationships. However, it is vital that providing this care does not come at the expense of one’s own mental and emotional health.

Consider taking some time to journal your thoughts and emotions regarding your interactions with your adult children. Reflect deeply on specific instances that have been particularly trying or hurtful, and invite God into those reflections. Pray for His guidance on how to approach these challenging situations with both love and wisdom. Additionally, consider seeking counsel from trusted friends, family members, or spiritual leaders who can provide support and insight as you navigate this difficult journey, ensuring that you are not alone in this process.

Parents must seek the Lord’s wisdom to discern how best to support their adult children while safeguarding their own well-being.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I approach You with a heart full of concerns about my relationship with my adult children. I seek Your wisdom and strength as I navigate these challenging waters. Grant me the discernment to know when to extend my support and when to establish healthy boundaries that protect my own heart and mind. Help me reflect Your love and grace in every interaction, and guide me in making choices that honor both You and my family. I trust in Your unfailing guidance and love as I strive to foster nurturing relationships. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

July 27th 2023 – Living a Life of Honor, Reflect God’s Character

As followers of Christ, let us embrace the transformative power of honor in our lives. By honoring God, others, and ourselves, we reflect the character of our Heavenly Father to a world in need of His love and grace. May every word we speak, every action we take, and every thought we entertain be infused with the essence of honor. Let us be known as a people who uplift, inspire, and bring honor to our Lord, leaving a lasting legacy of love and integrity.

Proverbs 3:3-4 – “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man

1. Honoring God: Honor begins with recognizing the greatness and majesty of our Heavenly Father. God is the source of all honor, worthy of our utmost reverence and respect. When we honor God, we acknowledge His sovereignty, obey His commands, and seek to live in alignment with His will. Our lives become a testimony to His glory, as we reflect His love, grace, and truth to the world around us.

2. Honoring Others: In a world marked by selfishness and disregard for one another, honoring others becomes a transformative act that sets us apart as followers of Christ. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and honoring others is an expression of that love. When we honor others, we treat them with dignity, respect, and kindness. We value their worth, appreciate their uniqueness, and seek to build them up rather than tear them down.

3. Honoring Ourselves: While humility is essential in our Christian walk, it is equally important to recognize our intrinsic value as children of God. Honoring ourselves means embracing the truth that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, created in the image of our Heavenly Father. When we honor ourselves, we take care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We cultivate a healthy self-esteem, grounded in God’s love, and strive to live a life worthy of the calling we have received.

4. Honoring in Action: Honor is not merely a concept to ponder but a virtue to be lived out. It is through our actions that honor finds its fullest expression. We honor God by worshiping Him wholeheartedly, seeking His guidance in all aspects of life, and living according to His Word. We honor others by practicing forgiveness, speaking words of encouragement, and serving them with humility and compassion. We honor ourselves by setting healthy boundaries, pursuing personal growth, and using our talents and abilities for God’s glory.

Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Remember, honor is not a one-time act but a lifelong pursuit. May the Holy Spirit guide and empower you to live a life that honors God, honors others, and honors yourself. May your life be a radiant reflection of the honor and glory that belong to our Heavenly Father

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You today with hearts filled with gratitude for Your abundant grace and love. We thank You for the gift of life and the opportunity to know You and follow Your ways. Lord, we desire to develop and live a life of honor, a life that reflects Your character and brings glory to Your name.

We ask for Your guidance and strength as we embark on this journey of honor. Teach us, Lord, to honor You above all else. Help us to recognize Your sovereignty, to trust in Your plans, and to obey Your commands. May our lives be a testament to Your greatness, as we seek to honor You in every aspect of our lives.

Lord, we also ask for Your help in honoring others. Fill our hearts with a genuine love and compassion for those around us. Grant us the grace to treat others with kindness, respect, and dignity, regardless of their background or circumstances. Help us to see the value in every person, just as You do. May we be known for our acts of love and service, always seeking to build others up and point them to You.

Father, we acknowledge that honoring ourselves is an important aspect of living a life of honor. Help us to see ourselves through Your eyes, as beloved children of God. Remove any feelings of self-doubt or unworthiness, and fill us with confidence in who You have created us to be. Guide us in taking care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, so that we may live lives of purpose and fulfillment.

Lord, we know that living a life of honor is not always easy. There will be challenges and temptations along the way. But we trust in Your strength and guidance to remain steadfast in our pursuit of honor. Help us to rely on Your Word, to seek Your wisdom, and to lean on Your Spirit for discernment and strength in every situation.

Father, we surrender ourselves to You and ask that You shape us into honorable vessels for Your glory. May our lives be a testimony to the transformative power of Your love and grace. Use us, Lord, to shine Your light in a world that so desperately needs it. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

July 24th 2023 – Navigating Crossroads

Psalm 25:4 – “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.”

In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves at crossroads, unsure of which path to take or what decisions to make. It is during these times that we can turn to the Lord, just as the psalmist did, and cry out, “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.”

The psalmist’s plea is a humble admission that we, as human beings, can easily become lost and confused without the guidance of our Heavenly Father. We acknowledge that God’s ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). Therefore, the first step towards finding direction in our lives is to surrender ourselves to Him and seek His wisdom.

Our God is not a distant deity who is uninterested in our affairs. On the contrary, He desires to be intimately involved in every aspect of our lives. He longs for us to seek His guidance and rely on His wisdom. When we come before Him with an open heart, ready to receive His instruction, He will not disappoint us.

As we meditate on this verse, let us consider the ways in which God can guide us. Firstly, He can show us His ways through His Word, the Bible. The Scriptures contain timeless truths that provide us with principles for living a godly life. By studying and meditating on His Word, we gain insight into His character and His desires for us.

Secondly, God guides us through His Holy Spirit. When we invite the Holy Spirit into our lives, He becomes our counselor, teacher, and guide. He speaks to our hearts, giving us nudges, promptings, and convictions that lead us on the right path. Our part is to cultivate a sensitive spirit and listen attentively to His gentle whispers.

Lastly, God guides us through the wise counsel of fellow believers. He places people in our lives who can offer godly advice and perspectives. Seeking wisdom from trusted mentors, pastors, or friends who are grounded in the Word can provide clarity and direction when we are facing difficult decisions.

As we pray the psalmist’s prayer, let us approach God with humility, recognizing our need for His guidance. Let us open our hearts and minds to His teachings, eagerly desiring to follow His ways and walk on His paths. May we surrender our own plans and trust in His perfect plan for our lives.

Let us commit to seeking God’s guidance in every area of our lives. Let us lean on His Word, the Holy Spirit, and the wisdom of fellow believers. As we do so, we can have confidence that He will lead us on the right path, even when it may be difficult or unclear. Trust in His faithfulness, knowing that His ways are always good and perfect

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You today seeking Your guidance and wisdom. Show me Your ways, Lord, and teach me Your paths. I recognize that without You, I am lost and confused. Help me to trust in Your leading and surrender my own desires to follow Your perfect plan. Speak to me through Your Word, Your Holy Spirit, and the wise counsel of fellow believers. Guide my steps, Jesus, and may I walk in Your truth. I pray in Your precious name, Amen.

July 11th 2023 – Trusting God When Feeling Let Down

Life has a way of bringing disappointments and letdowns that can leave us feeling downcast and discouraged. We may have experienced unmet expectations, broken promises, or dreams that seemed to crumble before our eyes. In these moments, it’s easy to question God’s plan and wonder why things didn’t turn out as we hoped. However, it is precisely in these times of disappointment that our faith can grow deeper, and our trust in God can be strengthened.

Psalm 42:11 – “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”

The psalmist in Psalm 42 cries out, “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?” These questions resonate with our own struggles when we feel let down. But the psalmist doesn’t stop there; they offer a powerful solution: “Put your hope in God.” 

When we feel let down, it’s crucial to redirect our focus and place our trust in God. We can find comfort and solace in knowing that God is always with us, even in our disappointments. He sees our pain and understands our heartache. He longs to bring healing and restoration to our weary souls.

Remember, Jesus Himself experienced deep disappointment. He was let down by His closest friends who deserted Him in His hour of need. Yet, even in His darkest moments, He put His trust in God. He surrendered to the Father’s will, knowing that His plan was greater than any disappointment or betrayal He faced.

In seasons of letdown, let us follow Jesus’ example by praising God in the midst of our pain. Let us acknowledge that He is our Savior and our God, who never leaves us nor forsakes us. As we cultivate an attitude of praise, our perspective shifts, and we begin to see God’s faithfulness and goodness even in the midst of disappointment.

While disappointment may linger, we can find hope in knowing that God’s plans are higher than our own. He can take our shattered dreams and transform them into something beautiful. His timing is perfect, and He works all things together for our good.

So, in times of letdown, let us choose to trust God. Let us put our hope in Him, knowing that He is faithful and will guide us through every disappointment. May we find strength in our relationship with Him, knowing that He has a purpose and a plan for our lives, even when things don’t turn out as we expected.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You today with a heavy heart, feeling let down and disappointed. Help me to trust in Your plan and to put my hope in You. Remind me of Your faithfulness and goodness, even in the midst of my disappointments. Give me the strength to praise You in all circumstances and to surrender my disappointments into Your capable hands. Guide me and lead me according to Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Take a moment to reflect on God’s faithfulness and His promise to work all things together for your good. Trust that He is with you in every disappointment and that He will bring beauty out of ashes. Keep your hope in Him, for He is your Savior and your God.

May 4th 2020 – Look To Jesus

“The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.” (Hebrews 1:3)

There is just something about the name of Jesus!  His Name is the most beautiful of all names.  This verse shows us that Jesus radiates God’s very glory, and He expresses the very character of the Father.  Jesus said that he who has seen Him has seen the Father.  He and His Father are one.

The reason this is so important is that many times we do not fully understand God, because we have never seen Him.  But when we look into the Gospels and we read about Jesus, He shows us who God the Father is.  You see, Jesus was a healer, and a provider.  He let John lay His head on His chest.  Jesus is the One that calmed the storms and raised the dead.  He is the One who promised those that believe in Him that we will have eternal life.

When we understand that to look at Jesus is to see the Father, we know that the Father will heal us, and the Father will calm the storms in our lives.  He will provide for our needs, and He wants us to lay our heads near His heart and rest in Him.  You see, the Father loves us just like Jesus does.  The Father and Jesus are one, and the great love that Jesus showed by going to the cross to die for you and me is the same love that the Father in heaven has for us.

That is why Jesus said not to pray to Him, but to pray to our Father in heaven in His Name, and He will answer us.  So today, get to know the Father.  He loves you and cares for you.  To know Him is to know life.  So enjoy His presence in your life each and every day!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I praise You in all circumstances Lord, Thank You for your overwhelming love that You have for me. I want to know my Father better and see all that my Father is, and the place that He wants to take in my life. Please help me share who You are to everyone. I pray this in Jesus’ glorious name, Amen.

March 28th 2020 – Pruning and Bearing More Fruit

“For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.” (Romans 7:5)

The technological advancements made by mankind in the last century or even the last 20 years are astounding. Yet with all our technology, we still have to wait for lettuce to ripen and for olives to mature. Lettuce ripens a month and a half after planting, but for an olive the wait is at least four years. Some of us, like the lettuce, are maturing quickly while others, like olives, are improving more slowly. Something changed in you when you were saved, and still… God is making changes to you.

“But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.” (Romans 7:6)

We should all be bearing fruit. There may be times that you need to endure pruning before you bear fruit. Pruning redirects energy to the right places. If you are not being fruitful, maybe you need to redirect energy toward the Lord. Don’t just come to church, be the church. Be praying, giving, serving – joining hands with your church to achieve something far greater than any one of us could achieve alone.

“Christianity is not do-it-yourself religion. Its a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and fellowship with the family.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me. Give me the desire to grow in righteousness through the washing of Your Word, in serving You and prayer. Help me to love and serve others in the place where You want me to grow and bear good fruit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
