Morning Coffee with Larry Quicksall

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Remember that 1980's sitcom called "Who's the Boss" where the two lead characters have a challenging relationship as to who is in charge.  Today we will look at our lives and who is actually in charge, why He is in charge, and His intentions for our lives.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  What happens when Jesus is the center of our being?  He fills it with Himself.  It is a true and perfect fit, because that is how we were made.  And when we are filled with Him, there is little room for worry, depression, and anxiety.  Let's dig into this topic this morning... Get your coffee!

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  When Jesus says "follow me" it does not mean it will always be an easy path.  But it does mean that He will always be with you the path He has chosen for you, and the challenges are worth the rewards.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.  Can that be true when I face troubles?  How can I be glad when things go wrong?  Let's study this topic in today's devotional.  Grab your coffee!

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  When you anticipate troubles, do you find yourself rehearsing them over and over in your head before the trouble actually arrives?  Actually, that is not a good idea.  Let's learn why in today's podcast.  Get your coffee and let's get started.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Where do you focus your attention when things get scary?  Do you focus on the object of your fear or do you focus on what gives you peace?  Let's focus today on that question during today's podcast.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  We often become distracted by how others look or dress, the cars they drive, the house they live in.  We say "They have it all together", then we condemn ourselves for our looks, our want, our emptiness.  However, Jesus does not look at what you or I may see, but he looks at the inside, deep into our being, our soul.  And in that emptiness He has...

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  How do you view your day when you try to plan and control everything that happens?  Stressful, overwhelming?  What happens if you view every day as an adventures planned out by your personal Guide and Companion, Jesus?  Peace, security, joy, trust, endurance.  Let's talk about this in today's study.

We may think we know what will happen today, but in reality we don't.  Anything can happen unexpected and out of the blue!  However, Jesus reminds us that he knows exactly what will happen, and when we allow Him to be our constant companion He will prepare and guide us through whatever is in our path.  The closer we are to Him as our companion, the greater the peace in the journey.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  I love today's devotional, which ties in God's sovereignty with prayer requests and the incredible benefit of trusting through thanksgiving.  Good Stuff! 

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  The more we trust Jesus during the good time the stronger we can trust him during the hard times.  Let's dig into the topic of trust this morning.  Don't forget your coffee!

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  I have great ideas and you have great ideas, but the only way to ensure that these ideas succeed is if they are in alignment with God's Will.  And when they are in alignment with His Will, then nothing can stop what is doing to happen.  Let's dig into this in today's episode.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  The presence of another can be helpful when we are in distress, but the wrong words or tone or attitude may worsen the situation.  However, Jesus gently comes and invites us into His presence to experience the hope and patience He provides to ease our burdens in daily life. 

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today I share a bit about my silent cohost (Ha!) and share with you about praising and thanking Jesus in all circumstances.

Good morning and good coffee!  When life's struggles are overwhelming it is important to focus, ponder, and trust that Jesus is able.

Good morning and good coffee!  We generally think of victorious people as having incredible strength through independence, but that is not what Jesus tells us.  He tells us that we can be victorious through increasing dependence on Him.  How can this be?  Join me for today's podcast and see how.

Good morning and good coffee!  What is a habit?  Many times we think of habits in a bad way... something to break.  However, there are also good habits that help us in any situation (e.g. washing your hands, looking both ways when crossing the street).  Today's study looks at a good habit for developing a better relationship with the one who loves us the most.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Today we explore the topic Refresh Yourself in the Peace of My Presence, the peace of having Jesus as our constant companion.  This world is troubling and overwhelming, but what if we had a companion through it all who had already overcome the world - wouldn't that provide a filling sense of peace?  Join with me for today's podcast.

Good Morning and Good Coffee!  Life get's busy, but are we making our time with Jesus a low priority?  Today's theme is Relax in My Healing Presence, and I know I need to do this more than I currently do.  This is a good study today, so grab your coffee, and let's get started.

Good morning and good coffee!  Today I start a new series where I'm using the daily devotional Jesus Calling by Sarah Young.  You can pick up a copy of this devotional through Amazon and follow along daily.  Today's topic is titled Come to Me. https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Calling-Enjoying-Peace-Presence/dp/0718042824?ref_=ast_sto_dp
