Asking For Wisdom

I remember this one particular conversation I was having with Elaine. She had just finished giving me all sorts of great advice when I looked at her and asked, “Elaine, how did you get to be so wise?” I figured she’d come back with an answer about how all of her life experience had just naturally developed wisdom in her. And while I’m sure that’s part of it, that’s not the answer she gave me. No, instead, she looked at me with an encouraging smile on her face and said, “I asked God to give me wisdom.”

Who Do You Need To Unsubscribe From?

I don’t know about you, by my email inbox has seemed extra cluttered these days. Maybe it’s from all of the email lists I ended up on from my holiday shopping. Or maybe I’m proving to be an easy target for Instagram ads. Either way, it feels like I’m being flooded with emails that I don’t even want to read.

10 Verses For When You Need God To Provide For You

The thing about being a human is that we aren’t as self-sufficient as we like to believe. We can’t always make everything happen the way we want it to happen. We can’t always make sure we’re fulfilled and provided for in our own power and our own strength. BUT…the good news about being a follower of Jesus is that we have a God who loves to provide for us. We serve a God who can meet all of our needs and can always come through. And we have a God we can depend on no matter what we’re walking through and what challenges or deficiencies we’re facing.

Why You Should Knock Before Entering Someone’s Life

Recently, I was flipping back through one of my old journals (I like to do this from time to time), and I landed on an entry from December 2, 2021. The last paragraph on the page was a quote by Chip Judd, a professional Christian counselor who created an audio course on relationships that I dove into at the time.

What Is Your Expectation Of God?

What would it look like for us to be expectant for our lives to change as we walk into a new season? What would it look like for us to expect God to show up in a new way in the coming months? What would it look like for us to have the expectation that God is going to answer our prayers in the season ahead?

Where To Find Encouragement

Scripture tells us that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and light to our path (Psalm 119:105). His Word shows us where we’re standing and where we need to go. It tells you clearly if you’re headed in the right direction or if you’re wandering down a dark and dangerous path. It gives you wisdom. It gives you discernment. And it gives you hope like nothing and no one else can.

Slow Down Going Into A Curve

When I was first learning how to drive, one of the toughest skills for me was taking curves. I would underestimate how much faster the car would seem to be traveling when I took a curve without slowing down, and I would inevitably have to hit the brakes halfway through the curve.

How Can The Bible Help You?

We have access to the most helpful tool we could ever have in this life. God’s Word has a lot to offer us when we need guidance and direction. The Bible has so much to say about relationships, finances, conflict management, work, anxiety, trust, forgiveness, purpose, identity, and so many other things. It’s the best place to go when you need advice on how to live the life God has marked out for you. So if you have access to that, why wouldn’t you use it?
