Since the fall of man, people have had trouble staying focused, but we live today in an age of unprecedented distraction. Since you’re already reading or listening to this on some electronic device, I don’t need to elaborate. It is so easy to get distracted by lesser things and miss on the rest that God has for us.

I have enjoyed hiking sections of the Appalachian Trail. To keep you track, there are these white blaze markers along the way. It's easy to get lost in the woods and these markers keep you on track. I think that the discipline of journaling can help us stay on our path to Rest. Each marker is a milestone of what God is teaching us.

The Bible mentions meditation over twenty times and calls us to meditate on God’s Word. This is a beneficial practice to incorporate into our daily time with God as it provides a mental and emotional rest for us as well as spiritual growth. As we read week two of our Bible plan, "Making Time to Rest," I want us to dig deep and fearless into this powerful spiritual discipline. In the business of today's world it will indeed be challenging. But in the end, it will bring blessing, peace and the rest we need and seek. https://www.bible.com/en-GB/reading-plans/16169/together/22077409/invitation?source=share&token=xR6qG9f1FfQkKdpH8Zd9OQ&fbclid=IwAR1L5u7fYh8S62DE2Kdf_DVRaxfaC3k6qmW1WVEuzY69p7Ia1A_2T9RzhuM

Selah. This beautiful, thoughtful word appears in the Bible primarily in the book of Psalms. But what does it mean, and why is it there? In today's episode I share a personal story from my life yesterday and importance of taking a pause in our busy lives from time to time... to enjoy the journey rather than conquer the trip.

I've got a challenge for you this morning. It's actually a commandment but for me it's also a challenge. It's probably a challenge for you as well. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

I was reading in Hebrews 13:2 this morning and wanted to share some thoughts with you about it. The verse reads; "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels." SURPRISE... you just had an encounter with an angel! Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

In today's episode I take the common, apathetic phrase, "So What", and challenge you with a different take... "Sow What." You and are are planting today. We're farming a crop. What will we harvest? We will harvest what and how much we sow and invest. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Have you ever been in a situation where you just didn't know what to do? You were absolutely dumbfounded and lost. In today's episode I share some practical suggestions on how to handle those situations from one of my favorite stories in the Bible.

In today's episode I want to be provocative. I want to provoke you to provoke others to love and good works. That's the message of Hebrews 10:24-25. It's a positive thing and one that should be part of your mission today. "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching."
