Devotional
Divine Appointments
Not everything that happens in life that doesn’t turn out as expected should be seen as a set back or a negative. Often the Lord uses the circumstances of life for more than we can ever begin to understand.
Faithfulness in Our Calling
No matter what happens in life, as long as we are willing to stay faithful to the Lord’s calling on our lives, He will be with us and prosper that which He has called us to do.
Perception Is Not Reality
The enemy of our soul is good at making us think that all is lost and nothing can fix or repair our situation. It can be something as serious as a relationship or as simple as a piece of a broken equipment. Either way, Satan will do his level best to convince you there is no hope. This is an absolute lie.
Performing Miracles With Your Staff
God uses ordinary people to do the extraordinary. The first thing we have to do is surrender to His will. When I retired from the military I had 2 options, fulltime ministry or go back to work in a civilian position with the military. In my eyes, working for the government would have given my family an immediate financial boost and secured our future in the long term.
Working Versus Striving
This devotional is a great reminder for all of us, especially for those who own their own business or are in a place of leadership. The only way to know the Lord’s will for your life is to know the Lord. If you seek after Him in all you do, there is no way for you to possibly miss what He wants you to do for Him.
Becoming a Mighty Man
Sometimes I wonder if I’m up for the tasks the Lord has given me in life, especially when things go wrong or the path becomes difficult with never ending challenges. I often stop and question my direction and if I’m really doing what He wants me to do.
When God Seems Far Away
The other day, after what seemed like months without having the opportunity to speak, I had a 2 hour conversation with one of my oldest and dearest friends. We’ve know each other for nearly 30 years, both love the Lord, are retired professionals from public service and each own a business.
