Daily Affirmations: Still Small Voice
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” – Isaiah 30:21
Opportunities Lost
Opportunities are abundant, but often we miss those opportunities for many reasons. This week in my daily devotional, I am reading the story of Moses and Aaron telling Pharoah to let the children of Israel go after 400 years of slavery (Exodus). The children of Israel had been praying for deliverance, and God heard them and sent delivers.

Identity: It’s Important to God
Identity denotes who someone is, the name of a person, or the beliefs that make a particular person different from others. Our names are a specific part of our identity.

Narratives: Pursuing Purpose in a Crazy World
Narratives are the storylines of your life. They are accounts, reports, stories, events, or experiences.

Recently I heard the Lord say, ‘tell my people it’s time for them to remove themselves from the narratives currently shaping their lives’. Removing yourself from the narratives means it is time to stop doing whatever it is you are currently doing, take a look at what you are doing and see if it lines up with what Read More
