Someone’s Listening 

Someone's ListeningThe Bible speaks of angels in heaven who were made to worship God day and night, yet the psalmist paints a picture of Him bending down to listen to a prayer. This is amazing! In a day and age where attention spans are short, everyone is distracted, and we are often ignored, it’s good to know that someone is still listening.

Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! (Psalms‬ ‭116:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

Seeing Ghosts

Seeing GhostsThere are moments in our lives where the storm is so heavy, the path ahead is unclear and unknown thus clouding our judgment. As a result, we see “ghosts”; something that is not really there. These ghosts can manifest themselves as our fears; fear of failing, fear of being alone, fear of not being good enough, fear of being unloved…etc. When the disciples were in the midst of a storm, they thought to have seen a ghost and feared, but what a great feeling it must have been to hear the voice of Jesus comforting and reassuring them in the midst of the storm.

But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!  ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭NLT‬‬) 


Run Away

Run AwayWhen faced with one of the toughest issues he had ever encountered, Elijah ran and hid. He’d just gotten through proving to the people their god wasn’t real but his was. You’d think he’d be celebrating but instead he ran as a result of a threat to his life. If God was with him before, why would he abandon him? He wouldn’t. The same applies to us, so if we’re running let it be to Him and not away from our problems.

There he came to a cave, where he spent the night. But the LORD said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:9‬ ‭NLT)

Welcome Home Party

Welcome Home PartyToday’s passage is taken from the story of the prodigal son, a young man who asked his father for his part of the inheritance and left to spend it all, while his brother stayed behind. Upon his return, the father threw a feast but the other brother was confused as to why the father would celebrate the ungrateful son’s return. The answer was simple: love. The father’s love overlooked the prodigal son’s past mistakes and celebrated his return home. God is like that father. The Bible says that heaven rejoices when a sinner repents. I would imagine even more so when it’s someone who left and returned home.

We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found! (‭‭Luke‬ ‭15:32‬ ‭NLT‬‬)
