Fan the Faith, Diffuse the Doubt
One would call me an eternal optimists. For the most part I see the good in life. I choose to look at the positive. For instance, what should I do if the big contract we are waiting on does not come through? No need to kick the dog or scream at the wife or throw something, it’s time to ask the Lord what’s next? If He’s been faithful to this point and the thing you are waiting on does not happen, then there is a reason. The hardest thing, accepting that we may never understand why it did not happen.
In that moment, doubt in our Lord can and will creep in, it happens, it’s normal. When I find myself in this place, I’m reminded of all the things the Lord has done for me. Where He has brought me from, where he is taking me to and all of the promises He has made to me.
Don Jacobson shares a miracle that saved his wife’s life
This is a great example of how the Lord works in our lives. Don’s wife was spared thanks to a prayer from a friend, a wonderful example of those “God Things” that happen in our lives.
Knowing and Doing God’s Will
Understanding God’s will for your life can only come from one thing, your relationship with our Creator.
The very first Sunday school classes I took, when I returned to the Father’s house, was taught from Henry Blackaby’s ‘Experiencing God’.
Out of everything I heard in that course, I remember the following principle. When seeking God’s will, He will guide you in these ways: through the Bible, prayer, fellow Christ followers (the Church) and the circumstances of life. While the first three are easy to understand, what does ‘the circumstances of life’ mean?

I don’t believe I can add anything of value to this devotional. This is how our company sees it’s work. We glorify Him in everything we do.

TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2 by Os Hillman
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving (Col 3:23-25).
Whom Shall I Fear?
This is my anthem in this season of my life. Be encouraged in the Lord today!
God-Inspired Delays
There are days when I am amazed at the Lord’s timing. Today’s Marketplace devotional describes our current situation to a T.
This past Monday I received an email from one of the groups we are scheduled to work with this year. A new vendor wants to speak with the associations about streaming the races for them. The groups new leader has agreed to talk with them.
We were literally down to dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s with this company. Working with this group is one of the reason for our expansion to two full teams. Their season starts fairly soon, so any significant delay will impact our planning…hhmmm ‘our planning’, that’ll make you stop and think.
Blessing Those Who Curse You
The Lord is my vindicator…this was one of the hardest truths for me to accept as the Lord was drawing me back to Him 19+ years ago.
I was assigned to a flying unit in the southwest US as the chief flight engineer. There was an enlisted leader above me who kept trying to move me from my position. I never really understood why, just that he thought it would be better if someone else led the engineer section. Through a series of events this issue finally came to a head. I went down to see the ‘old man’ to find out what the deal was and asked him if he was unhappy with my service. He was surprised I asked and stated he was very happy with my leadership and had no intention of moving me from my current position. He made one phone call to the group commander to confirm he also had no intention of moving me, which he did not.
