Trusting God

When God Steps In

25 February by Emily Schankweiler
Empty Without God Devotional

His life was going nowhere fast.  Reduced to begging and dependent on compassion from strangers, he had no one to depend on, no one to trust in and no hope for change.  In that day, there was no cure.  But one day, all that changed for blind Bartimaeus.  Jesus stepped in to his story.
It began [...]

When I Call Upon God

11 February by Hariette Petersen
Calling on God Devotional

Life throws us into mires of difficulty.  Are these times meant to break us?  Hurt us?  Or are these times to test our faith and challenge our trust in God?  When we find ourselves in situations without provision, position, job or savings, it can feel more crushing than challenging.  When we have been doing all [...]

Do you ever feel like your life is leading to a dead end?  No purpose or aim?  Wandering aimlessly in a way that just doesn’t seem to make sense?  Well, if that’s you … you’re not alone.

In Gods hand

Do you sometimes feel like the world is falling apart?  In any given day almost anyone we talk to can share a shattering experience that rips through their life and pierces the peace they take for granted.  Even in the most dire of circumstances, things can get worse.  We know that.  We sometimes fail to [...]

God Brings Us Out of Our Distresses

17 January by Hariette Petersen
God Brings Us Out of Our Distresses Devotion

Every day brings another difficulty. Systems that always worked before, fail. People we could depend upon in life, abandon us. All the good we’ve done for others is forgotten. Our very integrity is on the line. We’ve made promises we cannot fulfill. Obligations demand our attention, but we are weary. We cannot see any end [...]

As God So Desires

3 January by Hariette Petersen
Potter Molding Brown Clay

Again and again I worked on writing assignments and nothing seemed to flow. Words seemed stilted, sentences contrived. Thoughts were disjointed and rewriting did nothing to create a work worthy of publishing. So I stopped. I deleted paragraphs and entire devotionals. My writing grew hollow; my thoughts dried up. I wondered. Is God shelving me? [...]

God Never Changes

14 December by Emily Schankweiler
God never changes

“If God varied as we do – if He willed one thing today and another tomorrow – if He were controlled by impulse, who could confide in Him?  But all praise to His glorious name, He is ever the same.  His purpose is fixed, His will is stable, His word is sure. Here then is [...]

When Fear Comes Knocking, Have Faith in God

28 October by Emily Schankweiler
Faith, fear and God

Fear and worry are not mere emotions; they are expressions of what we hold dear. They reveal the loyalties of our hearts. If we know Christ and have affirmed our allegiance to him, worry is a sign that we are trying to have it both ways. We certainly don’t want to renounce our allegiance to [...]

A while back, I was planting some seeds. As I was putting them in the soil, I began thinking about my life. God has ordained each step and He knows the plans He has for me. But often I feel like I’m just stumbling along blindly, not sure where He is leading. [...]
