Tools perfected in the hand of God: 2 Kings 5 and 6

Do you place any requirements on your ability to serve God? Do you need assurance that there will be many people, a lot of danger, a great distance between you and home, or a difficult task before you are willing to be a tool of God? How often do you think of the renown that you get in your service at church, the soup kitchen, or the mission field and wish you were recognized more for your work?

The man Naaman in 2 Kings chapter 5 was a man of renown within the armies of Aram because God had used him as a tool, a valiant warrior and captain, to bring about a great victory. This man of renown within the Aramean society was also an outcast because he was a leper. Can you imagine how this man hurt because he couldn’t live a normal life let alone enjoy the renown of life that God had granted him? Read more

final moments

Photo 262I have been thinking a lot about moments in my life where I had an experience that change my life to the core for the rest of my life. These moments may be joyful or painful but they are moments that shape us.
Spring 1997 – I was a freshman in college and I was stuck in a rut that I didn’t know how to get out of. I had started listening to music that was full of foul lyrics and also smoking cigars because my ‘friends’ in college were doing that. I remember crying myself to sleep one evening when I had hit a wall where I knew I was created for a life where I didn’t need these things in my life but I didn’t know how to get out of the rut I was in.

Abraham’s faith an encouragement to all: Genesis 23 and 24

What a great example of faith Abraham is to me. He was so open with his faith in God that even his servants came o have a strong faith. After my life is complete I wish that I could have that type of impact on the world through my life alone. Am I living out my faith in an infectious way? I hope andy pray that God would use me in a way to reach people like Abraham. I am also amazed at God’s faithfulness and lovingkindness. How is it that He cares enough for us to be concerned with us. Being single it is difficult to imagine life other than what I have but the story of Isaac shows that you never know what God has planned for His people.

The road less traveled

025_144I feel like I have been traveling down a road that has never been driven on before. There are a lot of new things to see and experience on this road some good and some bad. What I have forgotten is that as this journey down the road continues I am not driving the car. I am in the passengers seat. My job is to enjoy the drive and I think I am.

Do all things for the glory of God even in the down times of life

Photo 125“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” Colossians 3:17

What a thought for life. I have been sulking over my life lately. I have been down, grumpy, and full of apathy. I have not really cared about anything. It is an impossible cycle for me to break. I can only leave this state of mind when God allows it. I was faced with a choice tonight. I could openly sin before God or I could read my Bible. I’ll be honest that sinning sounded like the best choice and the most enjoyable at the moment. Yet by the grace of God I choose to seek Him. I read through Colossians and was rewarded with Living water which my parched spirit needed.

It is interesting how EVERY SINGLE THING in life is of great importance to God. Read more
