The two common question I’m asked when I speak with wives in the aftermath of infidelity is “why did you stay?” and “how did you get through?” I am not an expert by any means, but I do have a testimony that was birthed through the journey.

“And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” -Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭39‬-‭40‬ ‭ESV‬‬ When God is silent… If the circumstances don’t shift… During the storm… In this episode, the Psalm 83 reading reveals insight into a resilient rhythm, written by Asaph, when trouble...

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬*TAKEAWAYS* ⚓️💚The blessed news of the gospel of Jesus is that when we surrender our lives to Jesus, believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths (Romans 10:9) then we are saved from an eternity in hell.

“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” -Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬Life is stressful and we are in times of conflict, both external and internal.

Similar to times we misplace our car keys, in the circumstances or seasons that we drift from God, there are s...

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” -Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬ What steps do you take when you experience discouragement?

God is all-knowing of what has occurred, is happening and what will come about in the future. God knows how He will work all things together, the bad and good.  Asaph is calling God to “remember” and avenge the wicked, for His namesake.

Have you ever considered that we will soon see Jesus!? When I lived on a separate waveform than Jesus, I bet my chances on “God knows I’m a good person” and I assumed I had time. The Bible says He is coming. We don’t know when, nor should we be fixated on this. He is coming is all we need to remember. Rather than trying to instill fear, I pray this is encouraging and a hope-filled message. Let’s d...
