Can A Christian Be Depressed?
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His...
What I’m Learning Through My Wilderness Journey
Do you ever read through the book of Exodus and shake your head when you read about the ungrateful complaining Israelites. They had seen the miracles of God. They were under His hand of protection, but all they did was whine.
I recently realized I’m just as guilty as those long-ago Israelites. For over six weeks, I have lived with more pain than I’ve ever known, and the end is not in sight.
The Promise I Never Want to Forget
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me. Micah 7:8 NKJV ...
Beware of Modern-Day Idols
What a wonderful promise! God is comparing Himself against the idols in verses 1-2 which bow down and stoop. They cannot sustain you like God does. However, in verses 3-4, God speaks directly to Israel and also to Christians.

Our idols are money, jobs, relationships, health, property… Naturally, when we lose one of these, we become anxious, but if you are trusting in them rather than God and it is snatched away, then you are devastated. Any of these things can be taken within a day. All it takes is a phone call from the doctor, a company shutting down and laying off, an unexpected expense, or a death and they are gone.
The Footsteps of Suffering
Christians were not only called to salvation, but we were called to suffer. Peter wrote his first epistle to believers who were suffering severe persecution. Some were used as human torches, while others were fed to the lions.
Experience God’s Love
Accidents follow blind people like birds seek for worms. Yesterday, I stubbed my toe on something out of place. It almost took my entire toenail off, so I asked my husband, Timmy to bandage it to prevent my shoes from rubbing it.
I kicked back in the recliner with Iva by my side. Timmy began playing doctor. Iva jumped in the floor for a better view, but soon returned to the sofa. Iva crawled onto my lap down to my knees observing with careful attention what her Daddy was doing to Mom.
This precious act of love brought a smile to my lips. “Look how precious she is!”
Iva’s not the only one concerned about every detail. God cares about everything from the tiniest detail to the major events of our lives.
