Walk Boldly With Jesus

God’s Timing, Not Ours 2 Peter 3:8-9 “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.  The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” When I read this verse, I think about how God’s tim...

We have all seen God working in our lives. However, maybe not everyone is aware that it is God who is working within us. That’s why it’s so important for us to start talking more about it. The more we share our experiences, the more people will understand how God acts and how much He truly loves us. If you’re willing to share an experience of how God has worked or is working in your life, please s...

Hope in the Waiting Day 6 Am I Bothering God By Asking Again? Luke 18:1-8 “ Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit. He said, “There was once a judge in some city who never gave God a thought and cared nothing for people. A widow in that city kept after him: ‘My rights are being violated. Protect me!’ “He never gave her the time...

Don’t Stop Praying Jeremiah 29:12 “Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.”  I heard this song on KLOVE this morning called Don’t Stop Praying by Matthew West. I was wondering if I should use it for my podcast this morning, and then I saw on Facebook the verse above, and I figured it was the Holy Spirit telling me I should use it. A week ago today, I did an episod...

Can I Be Disappointed With God and Still Trust Him? Psalm 62:8 “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.” I was talking with someone the other day, and they are really struggling.  They are struggling because their child is making bad choices, and there isn’t anything they can do to stop it.  I asked how she was doing, and she said she...

When Prayers Seem To Go Unanswered Jeremiah 32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too hard for me?” I liked this verse for today because this idea has been on my mind lately. The Lord has been telling our prayer group a lot over the last several years that we are not asking for too much; we are asking for too little. Just last November, He said, "My children, I want you t...

Hope in the Waiting - Day 2- I Have Heard Your Prayers And Seen Your Tears Isaiah 38:5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.” I love this verse because sometimes, when we have been waiting a long time for an answer to prayer, we begin to wonder if God is really listenin...

Hope in the Waiting – Day 1: How Long, Lord? Before we begin today’s episode, I want to take a minute to tell you about a new series we are starting called Hope in the Waiting. This series is for anyone who has been praying for something for a long time and is starting to wonder if God hears them, if He is going to answer, or how much longer they can keep waiting. Maybe you are praying for healing...

The Zip It Challenge Proverbs 18:2 “Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.” Proverbs is a great place to go if we want to get instructions on how to live a better life.  It is full of really great advice on how to be a good person, how to be a good Christian.  I have heard of people taking a month and studying one chapter of Proverbs each d...

Why aren't we asking? James 4:2-4 “You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask.  You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, in order to spend what you get on your pleasures. Adulterers! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmit...

Why Do We Question Our Calling? Jeremiah 1:4-9 “Now the word of the Lord came to me saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”  Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”  But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all t...

Into Your Hands I have a very special gift for you today. My friend and spiritual advisor gave an amazing talk at our prayer group yesterday. Today I want to share her talk with you so you can be blessed as we all were. I know you will enjoy it just as much as we did. Here is Nancy’s talk. Luke 23:46 “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” These are the last words of Jesus before he died on...

Give Me an Undivided Heart Psalm 86:11 “Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name.” God has been teaching us His way since the beginning.  He has always guided us and shown us how we should live.  I don’t think the problem is God not teaching us; I think the problem is our divided heart.  The end of this verse says Give...

I have two witnesses for you today. The first is a member of the Big Life Mentoring Group. The leader, Pamela Crim, gave us a PDF that helps us write our God story. It is great because every one of us has had God working in our lives and yet we don’t know how to talk about it. This PDF gives us a structure to use to get our story written down. Today’s first witness talks about how different her li...

Don't Waste The Struggle James 1:2-4 “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” I love how God works. Sometimes, I just...

Who Are You Becoming Like? Proverbs 13:20 “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.” Who you hang around with and spend your time with is so important.  I know I have talked about this topic before, and yet I feel it is so important for us all to truly think about it, so I am going to talk about it again.  I remember several years ago I told Tony...

What Gifts of the Holy Spirit Are Available to You? 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.  To one th...

Expectant Faith Doesn’t Have a Timeline Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” I heard this verse on the Elevation Podcast this morning. It was not this week’s sermon; it was from May 4, 2025. The episode was titled, “All You’ve Got To Do Is Don’t.” It was a really great sermon, and I invite you to check it out. There were a l...

Great Is Your Faith! Matthew 15:28 “Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.” I have heard this story in the Bible many times and I am sure you have too.  Right before this verse is the story of the woman who was asking Jesus to heal her daughter. Here is the story found in Matthew 15:21-28 “Jesus left that pl...

Your Prayers Will Be Answered! James 5:16: "The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” The Big Life Devotional Podcast has an excellent episode yesterday titled “Praying in Circles.”  What I loved most about this episode is that it gave us an action we can do to pray for our children, or really anything we are praying for.  The idea of praying in circ...

The Lord Is Close To The Brokenhearted Psalm 34:17-19 “The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles.  The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.” Yesterday I talked about how the Lord is with us to deliver us.  If you ar...
