What giants are standing before you right now? What obstacles are blocking your way? Are you afraid? Do you think they’re too big to break through? Today, I was reflecting on a story you and I may have read a million times before. An Old Testament story. This...

In his book Unlimiting God, Richard Blackaby said: “After many years of walking with God and seeking to go deeper with Him, I’ve drawn this conclusion: We limit God.” I couldn’t agree more. Nothing in Scripture tells us that our God has limits. It’s our perception and...

Just a few weeks ago, at the beginning of the year, I wrote a post called “The Most Important Goal for the New Year.” In that message, I talked about how we should make Paul’s goal our goal – to know Christ more. This is still my goal, but can...

By now, you’ve probably seen the movie War Room. Maybe more than once. And, like me, you may have listed it at the top of your all-time favorite movies. It’s truly amazing how a movie on prayer could make such a huge impact. The acting was superb, the...

Not long ago, my husband and I drove up to the mountains and enjoyed a beautiful day of sightseeing and a scrumptious lunch at a picturesque restaurant. When the server brought the bill to us, my husband noticed that she had forgotten to add the dessert. Immediately,...

One of the greatest blessings God offers us as part of His forever family are wonderful friendships with other believers. A few weeks ago, I had knee-replacement surgery. After I got home from the hospital, there was a stream of people in and out bringing food,...
