Day 5: God’s Abiding Presence

God's presence is something we take for granted, isn't it?

Day 4: I am thankful for small pleasures.

Too often we view our large and small blessings as an entitlement. Let's not fall into that trap! We start by being thankful---especially for the little things.

Day 3: I am thankful for God’s steadfast love.

There is nothing that can match the love of the Lord. We can compare it our relationships in order to gain greater understanding, but no love on earth is as faithful and true as the love of the Lord.

Day 2: I am thankful for trials

It seems counterintuitive to be thankful for bad times. Only a masochist would enjoy such a thing, right? Wrong. It all comes down to perspective.

Building Trust in God

God is like a strong bridge, only no catastrophe or scheme of man can bring Him down. He's proven Himself to be sturdy and reliable over and over again. Because we can't see Him physically and because His plan doesn't always make sense, we forget or we simply will not trust Him. We need to train our minds and hearts to Trust in the Lord, but how?

Trust: Facing the Fiery Furnace

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

We don't often use the term "lament." The word is defined as "a passionate expression of grief or sorrow." Lamentations is a book in the Bible written by the prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah suffered greatly as a prophet of God due to the wickedness of the Israelites of his day. Lamentations is an outcry of grief. When you feel despondent, do you trust God's faithfulness, or are you tempted to doubt?
