Jehovah Jireh - The LORD Our Provider
The Lord promises to provide ALL of our needs and that all we have to do is just trust (believe in) Him. That sounds very simple but it is also very deep. He provides all of our needs in ways that we don’t even understand. He provides for needs that we didn’t even realize we
needed and He also provides them right on time (He knew we would need them even before we did). All we have to do is trust and truly believe and He takes care of the rest in a very deep way. Here is a famous example:

13 Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in
a thicket. So he took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son. 14 Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the Lord will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
- Genesis 22:13-14

Mob Mentality – Commonality and Danger
When the Lord woke me up this morning, He had this theme on my heart of mob mentality and the way of the world. After I thought about it for a bit, it occurred to me that this is a continuation of yesterday about our focus. Mob mentality is when we give over ourselves to be
motivated by the things that are going on around us. As humans with natural feelings and psychological needs, we all want to be accepted by others. We have a deep-seeded need to fit in and to conform. This is built into our DNA.

The problem is that we give this motivation over

Our Focus is EVERYTHING
This week in my life I was reminded by the Lord of a valuable lesson about our focus and where we place it. It truly shapes our outlook on life and sets the tone of what we can do. As believers in Jesus, when we keep our eyes on Him and follow His lead, there are no limits to
what we can do no matter what situations come our way. Difficult situations, pain, suffering and worry are all tools that the enemy uses against us (and he is very good at it) to take our focus off of our LORD and what we know He has said. When (not if) this happens, any one of

This is How We Fight Our Battles
In these days of unprecedented events (both good blessings and extreme conflicts and rebellion), there is a continuous strong temptation to lash out with words of correction or retaliation. I have struggled with that intently over this past weekend watching local, national and
global events and wanting to call out people by name making a case and an argument for their rebellion, hypocrisy, lies and manipulation. Any time spent watching the news media immediately fills anyone with these desires. I have found that it doesn’t really matter which news

God is Always Good
This simple four-word message or theme is what the Lord woke me up with this morning as yet another burden on my heart. As I contemplated and reflected, I saw it as a reminder to you and me today of some important truths that will keep us focused and not distracted. The
characteristic of His goodness is shown as a theme permeating the entire bible from Genesis to Revelation (His goodness and mercy which endures forever). His intentions and plans for us are always good and never change (even when we do). His commands are always for our good.

Wherever I Go…
Today’s devotional is about one of my favorite bible verses. A dearly beloved brother who serves along side of me had a lanyard made for me with my name on one side and this verse on the other. I wear this lanyard daily in service as a reminder for me and often as a way to
generate conversation with others.

It is a verse that has kept me as a reminder even at times when I thought the sky was falling in and all was lost. During those times, it has reminded me of from where my help and strength come. It has also kept me when I have tended to stray

Fear God – The Beginning of Wisdom?
In yesterday’s devotional, I explored the idea that there is no fear in love and that God’s perfect love casts out fear. Yet the bible also teaches us in Proverbs 9:10 that “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.” Is this a contradiction? I would submit to you that it
is not at all a contradiction and here is my reason for you to consider.

It is ironic that Proverbs 9:10 was written by Solomon whom God blessed with great wisdom. When we look at the whole of Solomon’s life, we see that he lived a life of great excess with somewhat of a selfish
