To some of us this might come as a strange realization but, God ultimately chooses the life we are to live. Most of my adult life I pursued things that came natural to me without ever giving thought that God was the one leading me the whole time. Only later did I come to find out that God had been planning my course in spite of my efforts. Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.??? We, in all of our wisdom, can’t even imagine what God’s knowledge and wisdom even looks like. We…

Many times I find myself sitting wondering what to do for the day. I pray and wait and then for whatever reason, I find myself restless. I know that the dreadful word of boredom is coming and that as a Christian and a child of God, the word bored should never be a part of my vocabulary.

My question has always been in addressing what does it look like “to seek first His kingdom.??? All of my life, I have been searching for God’s perfect will to emanate my being. At times it seems as though I am running in circles and still have not found it and in the process I am…

I was fascinated by what they were saying about what they do and the standards that they hold themselves accountable to. It made me want to know more, so I studied and refreshed my knowledge to see what all the excitement was about. As I was researching the history of my friends religion I started asking myself many questions regarding my purpose, why am I here on this earth, how did…

Have you ever sinned and after words felt that nagging guilt that seemed to linger and not go away? Have you ever meditated on why you even sinned in the first place? I think a lot of the times when we do meditate on why we sinned, we don’t go far enough into our meditation.
