On this page, you will find weekly devotional articles which I hope will challenge and encourage you on your journey.
Hope versus fear for a New Year
Our hope is not in the new year or the new decade, or in our own abilities or goals. It is not in the wisdom of man, but in the One who makes all things new. “He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these...
Truth from Tiny Messengers Part Six ~ You are not in charge!
Do we trust God enough to allow him to take the steering wheel of life, or do we constantly try to grab it ourselves? "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand." (Proverbs 19:21) “Stop telling me what to do! You are...
Truth from Tiny Messengers Part Five ~ Wait!
Whatever it is that you are waiting for, know that you are on sacred ground. God is there in the midst of the wait. "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” (Psalm 27:14) “Wait!” This small but powerful word is one that parents and teachers...
Truth from Tiny Messengers Part Four ~ What I said yesterday still applies today!
The God whose hands laid the foundations of the earth and breathed life into man and beast, who brings out the stars one by one and calls each of them by name, who healed the sick and raised the dead when he walked among us… is the same today. “Jesus Christ is the...
Truth from Tiny Messengers Part Three ~ Stop copying (insert name) and be who you were designed to be!

By all means babble, but then take time to be quiet and listen! Listen for GOD’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. (Proverbs 3:6 The Message Bible) In part one of this series, we looked at how, like children whom...
Truth from Tiny Messengers Part One ~ Walk, don’t run!
How we long to rush ahead through life and control our circumstances, rather than waiting and walking with our Lord... "Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with...
Strangers in a Foreign Land
We follow One who has set an example of how to be a dual citizen, living a holy life in the midst of a chaotic world. “Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. (1 Peter 2:...
Never Give Up!
How often do we give up on people because they reject us, or they reject what we stand for as Christians? “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to...
Finished!
Your sins, no matter what they may be, have been forgiven, once and for all. Your debt has been paid. This is the true message of Easter, and this message is for you. “When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave...
