Growing in our relationship with God

God wants us to know Him!

Knowing God was Moses' supreme desire (Exodus 33:12-34:8).

The Apostle Paul wanted to know Christ and participate in His suffering (Philippians 3:8-10). His passion was for fellow believers to to know how wide and long, how high and deep God's love was for them (Ephesians 3:18).

If we want to know God, we must spend time with Him in His Word--because that is the primary way that He makes Himself known. God is pleased when we pursue Him. He promises that when we seek Him, we will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13-14). God delights in us, and we in Him. It is truly the sweetest relationship ever. 

5 Ways to Get an Infusion of Hope

5 Ways to Get an Infusion of Hope

We work our bodies hard to build strong muscles. We eat the right foods to keep our body systems healthy. And to stay spiritually fit, we feed our hearts and minds a healthy diet of God’s Word. But we are still human, not immune to one of the most common maladies: a sense of hopelessness. Sometimes even the strongest of us… Read More

How to Transform Your Quiet Time from Average to Outstanding

How to Transform Your Quiet Time from Average to Outstanding

You set your alarm the night before and got out of bed as soon as it went off. You poured hot, fresh coffee into your favorite mug (or maybe you enjoy tea) and took a seat in your favorite chair. Now you are in a quiet room or sitting on your porch. You pray, asking God to speak to your… Read More

When You’re Stuck In A Muddy Pit

When You’re Stuck In A Muddy Pit

Living on the Gulf Coast affords lots of opportunities to enjoy things that are uniquely Texas. Galveston Island is less than an hour away and a favorite family get-away. On one such trip many years ago, our family took the ferry across the ship channel to Bolivar Peninsula. As lovers of Texas history, we stopped at the Bolivar Lighthouse; and… Read More

When We Sacrifice Because of Love

When We Sacrifice Because of Love

Love is in the air. Dove chocolate now takes the shape of hearts. Stuffed frogs with pink, kissy lips beg to be taken home. School clubs are selling carnations candy-grams to be delivered to friends and sweethearts. A few days ago, I bought a box of heart-shaped Little Debbie’s and placed them just so in my heart-shaped candy dish. (They… Read More

3 Ways God’s Word Encourages Our Hearts

3 Ways God’s Word Encourages Our Hearts

Today we wrap up this series on the Purposes of God’s Word. I think my favorite facet is the way God’s Word encourages our hearts. Probably because it’s this aspect of the Bible that I find myself needing so much. I don’t like to admit it, but I’m easily discouraged. As a Type-A personality, I am an in-charge, make-things-happen (even… Read More

3 Ways God’s Word Guides Our Decision-Making

God’s Word is amazing. No other book on the planet is as powerful and practical. First and foremost, The Bible shows us the God who loves us–and our need for a Savior. God’s Word also cleanses us and allows us to have victory over sin. But also, God’s Word guides our decision-making. From simple, everyday choices–like who to hang out… Read More

When God’s Word Takes Root In Your Heart

When was the last time you heard a song on the radio that you fell in love with? So you downloaded a copy off of iTunes and played it over and over until you knew it by heart. You know what happens when you do that. The song sticks with you. It’s almost like background music to your day. No… Read More

3 Ways God’s Word Cleanses Us

Some mornings when I am having my quiet time, I think it’s going to be a gentle, quiet time of reading and prayer. Sometimes I even think it might be somewhat benign. (I know, sounds awful, doesn’t it!) But then I read a verse—and ZING! God shows me something in my life that needs attention. I have a choice. Am I… Read More

Instagram post 17843419747810177 Not too long ago I asked a group to give thanks for specific things. Each took a turn sharing. Except for one, who commented, “Shouldn’t we be thankful all year round? If I state that I’m thankful for one specific thing, it takes away the value of how thankful I am about other things.⁠ ⁠
True, we should be thankful all year round.⁠ ⁠
But it got me thinking. Why should we be thankful for specific people, places, or things? I thought about it all day while the chorus “Count your many blessings, name them one by one,”� ran through my mind.⁠ ⁠
With Thanksgiving around the corner, I felt this deserved some focused attention. I prepared a special thanksgiving treat for you. A 5-Day Mini Bible Study that will help cultivate an attitude of thanksgiving all year long.⁠ ⁠

Instagram post 17927841088335112 I was so encouraged by @melaniemredd ‘s post yesterday about our posture. It’s easy to adopt a physical posture of defeat without even  thinking about it. But when we purposely choose a posture id worship and victory! Wow. Me and my friend @mistyphillip choose victory!
. 
Head over to Melanie’s page and check out her post. I know you’ll be encouraged. .

Instagram post 17854392664617594 Sometimes God shows His love in the small things. ⁠
💕 ⁠
I’m in the middle of a minor health situation. Hoping this would resolve (or show signs of resolving) on its own, I’ve delayed seeing a physician. But this morning I knew I needed to be seen. Add in that my husband started a new job and we are in the middle of getting new insurance all squared away. Just some added stress. Not significant, mind you. But there, nonetheless.⁠
💕 ⁠
I guess God knew I needed to have a strong sense of His love and care today.⁠
💕 ⁠
I called the doctor’s office at 8:03. And pulled back into my driveway at 9:07—prescription in hand. How often does that happen? Calling for an appointment and getting one immediately. No wait in the waiting room. A quick diagnosis and a prescription ready for pick up. Since we didn’t have our insurance in place, the lady at the pharmacy added a discount card for me.⁠
💕 ⁠
I cried on my way home. Blessed that my Father in Heaven chose today to show visible mercy and grace to me.⁠
💕 ⁠
Most days aren’t like this. God still shows His love in other ways, just not as tangibly. But today, this is what I needed. And He provided. I’m so thankful!⁠
💕 ⁠
“for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." (Matthew 6:8)⁠
💕 ⁠
"And why do you worry? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:28-34)⁠
