The walls of God’s will does shake nor tremble, they stand fixed and secure. Everything must bow down to his word and be made conducive to its fulfillment, so our obedience keeps us steady in the boat while the storms around us settle themselves for our journey.

There are no small acts of obedience, nor are there small acts of disobedience. Each act of obedience draws you closer to Jesus, more familiar with his voice and fortifying your mind with his word…

Do you feel like you are experiencing a setback? A loss in time? Do you feel like you have been forsaken or have missed out on something that is owed to you? Widen your gaze and see what the Lord is doing! He is doing something new and preparing you for a long shot, a great distance.

I find it fascinating that we say with our lips that Jesus is Lord over our lives and yet want to throw a tantrum when he actually shows up that way and tell us, “No” to something. With eyes open and knowing this is Him moving pieces and stopping others, will you resist or will you surrender to his lordship and governance?

Have you ever been leery of the dark clouds of life? The overcast of some events, people, or situations that seem to suck the joy and fun out of the good things happening in your life. These events we either fight hard to avoid despite their inevitably, or we dread and just try to survive through, moment by moment, day by day…What if I told you that the dark cloud isn’t anything to fear but rather an opportunity for the most transformative light?
