Walk on Water Faith {Day 17}
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 16}
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 (A portion of the following post was originally published earlier this year. As I meditated on today’s verse the words were still fresh on my mind and I am convinced someone needs to hear them today.)…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 15}
It’s late Spring and I sit tear-blind at the corner of St. Roch and Filmore Avenue. Click. . . click. . . click. The rhythm reminds me to wait before I turn. Seminary classes are done for now. I’ve pushed disappointment and deadline uphill with an empty heart hoping to get to the other side…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 14}
The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple. Colossians 1:27 Yesterday we were reminded that God is at work in us. Today the message is the same: Christ is IN us! When we believe who Jesus is…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 13}
For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 God is at work in me and you. What great news! We have been called to duty—to work out our salvation (v.12) with the confidence that God is working in us to accomplish His good…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 11}
God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Glory to God in the church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus! Glory…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 10}
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 The solemn question comes to us, “Is the…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 9}
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18 In John Stott’s Final Address delivered at the Keswick Convention, July 17, 2007, he made the following statement: I remember very vividly, some…

Walk on Water Faith {Day 6}
Yesterday was a long day of planes, trains, and automobiles requiring pat downs, I.D.s, tips, and patience. Through it all I watched a lot of people, listened to some news, and overheard lots of conversations. I was left feeling sad and discouraged about our world. I was also exhausted. It’s that awful chasm between vacation…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 5}
“The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.” –George Mueller Hope you’ll spend some time today meditating on this week’s Truths from God’s Word. Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 4}
What does friendship mean to you? How you answer that question may depend on your age and season of life. When I was younger my friendships included the people I spent most of my time with everyday. I called lots of people “friend”. Today we have “friends” on Facebook that we’ve never met or spent…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 3}
Lord, increase my faith. What a simple request! On July 1, 1855, Charles H. Spurgeon preached a sermon entitiled “The Necessity of Increased Faith”. I needed the reminder that increased faith is only a prayer away. The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” They went to the right person. They did not say…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 2}
I’m tempted to climb back into the boat. In the boat is where you’re supposed to be when you’re out on the water. Right? But Jesus calls. You know what I’m talking about. He calls you, too, out of your comfort zone—out of that place that seems safe and secure and manageable. And out you…
Walk on Water Faith {Day 1}
The clock reminded us what our bodies already knew. Heavy eyes and heavy hearts need rest. I slipped into bed beside him. The pitch-dark room and hum of the fan signaled rest. In the darkness I heard his prayer. Another signal to rest, but my heart wouldn’t listen. Weighed down by the heaviness of an…
Walk on Water Faith {31 days}
Jesus has called me out upon the waters once again and invited me to trust Him through it. I know many of you are in your own deep places trying to keep your eyes on Him so I’m excited to share this 31 day faith journey with you. I’ve been looking forward to The Nester’s…
How to Walk on Water
Hey, you there trying to walk on water. I see you. You were all comfortable in your boat headed who-knows-where when Jesus called. But you didn’t think twice about throwing both legs over when He said, “Come.” Oh, you aren’t doing it for attention or bragging rights. You just want to be with Jesus. You’ve…

10 LITTLE THINGS ABOUT THE BLESSING AND BEAUTY OF BOOKS
1. I love the smell of books, libraries, and old bookstores. 2. I think old books, their tattered bindings, and yellowed pages are beautiful. 3. I often underline, highlight, and make notes in the book I’m reading. Sometimes I even dog-ear the pages(gasp). (I never underline, highlight, or dog-ear library books!) 4. I buy most…
