We all make foolish moves, mistakes we wish we could do-over. The word wisdom commonly defines someone older, gray-haired and that has learned from their mistakes. Yet, the bible says to desire wisdom and your days will go good for you. In the story of King Solomon, David’s son, God approached Him and offered Him…
LIFE ALTER-ING
Recently, I attended my favorite annual conference 212 in South Carolina. I always come expectant and always leave charged. There the Holy Spirit really spoke to me about coming to the alter. He has been really trying to get my attention lately, well for years now, to press in. When he began to tell me…
LIMP FREE LIVING
We all experience tragedy. We all have had unexpected pain hit us. At some point in your life, you will suffer, it’s just a fact of life. The question is not will you suffer, but instead, what happens when you suffer? Suffering doesn’t destroy faith, it refines it.” I remember a few years ago when…
OBEDIENCE OVER SACRIFICE
Obedience is not always fun. It often takes laying down “your rights” and trusting the unknown. But the Bible shows us time and time again that the Lord requires obedience in order to please Him. He doesn’t say pray about, consult with others or ask Google. When God tells you to do something, you obey…
LABOR SEASON
Hello loves! This week’s post is really personal and I hesitated to share and only have to a few. It’s not because I don’t want to share and those that know me, know I’m an open book. It’s just so fresh, emotional and a daily reality for me. Yet, my goal for Lens of Faith…
STRONG & COURAGEOUS
Do you ever sit back in amazement of God’s promises? I mean in a world of uncertainty, we have such certainty. From Genesis to Revelation he gives us constant assurance of the great God we serve. He is the ruler of the universe, yet he is working in every detail of our lives. One of…
SWEET TALKING IDOLS
Back in the biblical day, idols referred to large golden statues like a bull or calf or other gods. Such as buddhas that people worshipped, instead of the one true God. That culture in scripture doesn’t really apply to us now. In our modern-day, it is easy for us believers to think,” I don’t have…
DIVINE EXCHANGE
Have you ever been to the airport and thought to yourself, “Next time, I’ll pack lighter?” Especially, if you’re like me and travel cross country. All that loading, carrying, and lugging around becomes tiresome. Or do you notice that every time you move, you get rid of more and keep less? Like, “why do I…
COSTLY LEMONADE
Everyone loves the taste of freshly squeezed lemonade. I know, I sure do. Not the artificially flavored powder that is mixed with water but the real deal. No one though wants to sit there and hand squeeze the juice out of each lemon. It’s hard work, time-consuming and it takes quite a bit to make…
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Yes I know, it is difficult to have a great attitude in our current day. As soon as we turn on the tv or check the internet, it confirms that our world is in desperate need of a Savior. Then having to reflect on personal challenges, can make it difficult to feel thankful. Chin up,…
