This week while studying for the Daily Reads, I listened to a song by Bethel Music, sung by Kristene DiMarco. It is entitled “Take Courage.” It summarizes how I often feel…there seems to be a lot of waiting. But it is in the waiting that I often experience God most deeply. I pray it will …
Out of the Chaos
Inspiration for living outside of the chaos.
I remember it like it was yesterday. My younger sister and I were playing on the step into our family room. She was singing a song – maybe reciting lyrics – about having a treasure worth more than silver or gold or diamonds. I asked her what she had but, in true sibling fashion, she …
I arrived at my house in Florida Wednesday about 7 p.m. Unconcerned about getting in, I walked confidently to the door, punched in the four digit code and watched the light flash red. Normally, it flashes green and there is a slight whirring noise indicating the deadbolt is engaged and can be opened. I put …
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure your faith is in God alone. James 1:5-6 Let’s review what we have established about wisdom. First, it is knowing what to do with what we …
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure your faith is in God alone. James 1:5-6 I am so thrilled with wisdom. You know, it’s been one of those moments when you knew something, …

The final principle is key to changing how you interact with the world. I have been so blessed by this passage and my prayer is that you have been as well. Read: Judges 6:11-18 Fourth Principle: Go with what you have and he will make it enough. When the angel first spoke with Gideon, Gideon launched a narrative on why he didn’t believe the Lord was with …
Heads up! Today is a bit longer than I aim to have the daily readings. This principle is so important I didn’t feel right cutting it short. We are making so much progress. An invitation has been issued to come out of hiding, to step out of the pit. As you do, you are invited …
Yesterday you were invited to come out of hiding, out of the pit. Today we are going to see what happens when we do. Read: Judges 6:11-18 The angel of the Lord came to Gideon and greeted him with these words as a call to join him on solid ground: Mighty hero, the Lord is …
