God in the Everyday
It’s possible to go through life with our eyes closed – not physically but spiritually. Something happens that is obviously from the hand of God yet we use words like “I’m so lucky” rather than “I’m so blessed” and fail to attribute praise where praise is due. Truth is, as children of God, we are not casualties of fate or luck. We have a loving Father who watches over us, who cares for us, who provides in miraculous ways. The more we seek Him, the more we will be able to discern His fingerprint all over our lives.

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord – three words that hold the power to revolutionize our lives. They can transform the course of our day, alter the way we think and act, and change our whole perspective on life. When we praise the Lord our gaze is torn away from ourselves, our circumstances, our burdens, lifting our focus from the here and now to the One who holds our future, our days, our moments.
Feeling Fragile
Weak that we might be strong; this is the paradox of grace.
