I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord on 9/26/11. The children of Israel had experienced all of God’s blessings and provisions, as well as his guidance, leadership, and protection in bringing them out of slavery, and yet God was not pleased with them because they did not obey … Continue reading When in The Stillness

Trust Him
This is for Christians. It is an encouragement to wait for the Lord, to be of courage, to be strong spiritually, and to take heart when life kicks you hard and/or foes rise up against you to take you down, mainly speaking of our foe Satan. The opposite of fear is trust. This does not … Continue reading Trust Him
