“Looks Like Reign”

The footprints of Jesus cover the headlines and He longs for His footprints to make deep treads onto the sod our souls. Have you not known? Have you not heard? He’s the everlasting God who sets up times and seasons and is in control of the universe. The seen and the unseen. The present and the future. (Isa 40:28, Daniel 2:21) He doesn’t take any time off. He never slumbers. He never panics. He’s awake and alert.  His story is written and the ending is spectacular. (Psalm 121:4) This world will not be fixed until He comes to reign. Our hearts will never truly settle until He reigns in us.  If we put our trust in this world, we will become … Continue reading“Looks Like Reign”

“Expectant Wayfarers”

Don’t lose your bold courageous faith. Don’t throw away your confidence. Stay fixed on the finish. Let your salvation be your joy day after day. Paraphrase (Hebrews 10:34-39) Joyful expectation transforms the journey. Expectant wayfarers press on. When we expect something, we’re looking for it. For “the joy set before you,” endure. Endure in Jesus, the One whose love endures forever and makes it all possible. For “the joy set before Him,” Jesus endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the Father, opening wide our access to eternal life! His joy? It’s the sound of a soul saying yes to Him, taking His hand, staying the course through thick and thin, all the … Continue reading“Expectant Wayfarers”

“A Curated Interior”

“Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2) “Curated Interiors.” The name of this overpriced home decorating store struck me.  In years past, I would’ve hit the brakes and gone inside, but I drove past. I thought of all the times I chased decorating the interior of my home like it was my full time job and what I’ve learned since about the better kind of renovation. Curated involves expert oversight and direction, thoughtfully organized, sovereignly governed.  Changing the interior of our minds is a full time job. It needs oversight. It needs governing. Our interiors are always being threatened. “The enemy crouches at the door of our … Continue reading“A Curated Interior”

“Keeper In The Clouds”

“To Him who is able to keep you.” (‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭24)‬ ‭ Creation shouts and this picture screams of the Lord’s abiding presence. Can you trace the faint rainbow cutting through the clouds? Blue skies breaking through in the backdrop? Are clouds hovering over your life? Are you rattled by the world’s roars? Are the floodwaters “up to your neck”? This description in Psalm 69:1 is so accurate in our journeys at times. Can I get a witness? Cry out like the psalmist in honesty. “My God, save me! These floods of trouble have risen higher and higher. The water is “up to my neck”! I’m sinking into the mud with no place to stand, about to drown. I’m weary, exhausted … Continue reading“Keeper In The Clouds”
