Beside Still Waters

Hopelessness  permeates our thoughts and perceptions when circumstances appear to be our adversary. Give God an opportunity to break through and reset your perspective

It is futile to expect blessing, peace, and the awareness of God's Presence after choosing the path of "Self Will"

Finding an accurate barometer to measure success in the spiritual life appears to be an elusive task. The solution might surprise you!

This is an examination of Joshua's life before Jericho's conquest and how we can mirror his decisions, leading to a deeper intimacy and experience of the presence of God.

Life's common experiences do not preclude from having a rewarding, intimate experience of God's presence. God wants us to know the greatest influencer of life and blessing or loss and disappointment is us, you, me - the one who wants the abundant life!

Experiencing common life events does not relegate us to having mediocre spiritual experiences. On the contrary, it is a divinely sent opportunity to be extraordinary. 

The greatest, single most important potential spiritual privilege is knowing God and His presence in our lives. This relationship and experience can be cultivated and deepened if we would make the investment of time and self. 

God uses every life-event to accomplish two objectives: Move us closer to Him and gives Him opportunity to draw near to us! Our life-events are the open doors to have communion and intimacy with the God of heaven

The most direct path to a vibrant, impactful, sacred relationship with God is to withhold nothing.

How did I get off-course spiritually and what steps do I take to maintain a steady walk with God?
