Temporary Housing

I don’t really have any words right now. I can’t imagine what these people are going through, how they’re managing. Today’s Bible verse is a great reminder that this earthly home is just temporary housing, and our forever home can never and will never be destroyed. Bible Verse of the Day For we know that …

Praying for the Tornado Victims

I want to spend this week praying for the tornado victims, and anyone else affected by the tornadoes this past weekend. Late Friday and into the early hours of Saturday morning, an outbreak of over 30 tornados ripped across the country hitting six states: Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Mississippi. The death toll is …

Prince of Peace

Christ came to serve mankind (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45, John 13:1-17). It was the plan from the very beginning as we see in Genesis 3:15. What a blessing to have such a loving and merciful God. When I think of the names mentioned in Isaiah 9:6, I see loving attributes of His nature. I see …

Fear or Peace?

We don’t have to live in fear because the peace of God dissipates fear. There isn’t enough space to have the two conflicting feelings going on at the same time. Either we’re resting in the peace of God, or we’re drowning in fear. To illustrate this, I want to share a video I made at …

How do we obtain Jesus’ peace?

How do we obtain Jesus’ peace (John 14:27)? I believe it comes from spending focused, purposeful time with Him. Jesus’ peace comes from focused prayer, and spending time in Scripture. I was reminded of this last evening. God put on my husband’s heart to start a weekly prayer gathering at church. Last night was our …

Jesus Reassures Us of Peace

Jesus reassures us of peace many times throughout Scripture (see Philippians 4:7 for instance). It comforts me when I’m feeling anxious and/or overwhelmed. I especially love what Jesus says in John 16:33 (see below). Today, I decided to dig deeper and there is so much here to unpack. The short version is that Jesus wants …

Take Time To Be Still

I bought this sign (the “Peace” part of the image) on Saturday because I thought it would be a wonderful reminder of the ministry I’m trying to develop (Peace In The Stillness), and as a visual reminder to myself that I have peace because of my relationship with God. Sometimes the world overtakes me and …

Czechia

Day 8, the final day of the Week of Prayer for International Missions focuses on the growth and multiplication of churches in Czechia. It really is an amazing story that illustrates God’s hand in our lives. He sent a couple from IMB, the Lewis’* to this country where “Only 29% of the population acknowledges the …
