Spiritual markers

Remember spiritual markers. 

Turning points in personal history. 

Moments of growth when God gives wisdom. And courage to take the next step. Boldness to enter something new.

Remember significant signposts in His Word. 

And give thanks.

Enemy at the gate

Enemy at the gate. In our everyday lives. Enemy of our souls–the deceiver.

Making promises that entice. Feeding our longing for things to be easy. Comfortable. 

Highlighting our fears of future unknowns. Making us wonder about God’s good purpose. His ordained plan.

Sometimes it’s tempting to give in to the lie. What sounds better. Almost true.

Everything

“Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go” (Joshua 1:16).

No half-hearted maybes. Balking at the unknowns. Questions about personal safety.

No calculating anticipated losses.

Everything and everywhere. 

No turning back.
