Minute Devotions: He sets our path

leilaarmstrong

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.Proverbs 16:9 ESV I think it’s safe to say that most of us have tried to be masters of our own destiny. We like to make our plans, setting the course for where we want to go and how we’ll get there. But when you surrender your life to Jesus, you work out it doesn’t work that way. A life following Jesus is one that recognises that God sets our path. He has plans and purposes for us, and His timing is different to ours. Is it an … Continue reading Minute Devotions: He sets our path

Trust and courage

leilaarmstrong

It is hard to trust God sometimes. Having courage when we are faced with hard decisions is also difficult at times. As believers, we are to trust God and show courage in the face of hard decisions and situations, but that is easier said than done. But God, in His kindness, knowing we would struggle with this, gave us people in the bible to look to for inspiration and encouragement. One of those people is Ruth. Trust and courage in the face of hard decisions. I love the book of Ruth in the bible. It is a story many of … Continue reading Trust and courage

Minute Devotions: Because.

leilaarmstrong

Because. This is my journal entry from this morning as I sat with my coffee and bible, reading Psalm 63:3, ‘because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.’ Because? I sat on that for a moment, thinking about why we should praise? And as I started writing, I was reminded why. Because God is not a God that does things because He has too but BECAUSE He wants do. He is a God of love and compassion and grace and all His actions are out of love and compassion and grace. He is a good … Continue reading Minute Devotions: Because.

Minute Devotions: God of all.

leilaarmstrong

‘Ah, Lord God ! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you – Jeremiah 32:17 Nothing is too hard for God. Jeremiah declares, “it is you who have made the heavens and the earth.” God created it all from nothing. He spoke the world into existence. He placed the stars in the sky. He breathes life into us. When we stop and think about all the things that God has made, we can be confident that He can sort our dramas out. … Continue reading Minute Devotions: God of all.

Minute Devotions: A matter of belief.

leilaarmstrong

Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.” – Luke 1:45 When have you doubted God? Have you ever had a moment where you have doubted that God would deliver on what He promised? When you have cried out and prayed and prayed and prayed but nothing has happened. It’s easy to just think that God has forgotten us and is no longer interested in us. It’s easy to believe that God is absent or distant. But the truth is that if God has promised us something, … Continue reading Minute Devotions: A matter of belief.

Be Still.

leilaarmstrong

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10 Have you ever found yourself frantically rushing around trying to get yourself organised when your ears prick up and you think you can hear someone calling you? You slow your movements down, eventually coming to a complete stop and try to listen as hard as you can. I was in this very situation last night as I went to meet a friend of mine for dinner. She told me to park my car in the parking garage … Continue reading Be Still.
