Not being Outwitted! (Day 22)
In yesterday’s post, Pushing My Panic Buttons, I shared how anxiety easily mounts into panic attacks if we are not on guard. We focused on 1 Peter 5:8 where the Apostle instructs us to be ALERT and “clear-headed.” If we are filled with anxious thoughts, fretting, worries of any kind, we will not be “clear-headed” … Continue reading Not being Outwitted!

Frequently, when hard times come, we instinctively raise a hand in protest. We can resist and fight. But what kind of attitude lingers?

Thankful to this Day for the Amazing Providence of God!
Though miracles still occur, God uses them sparingly. Even in Scripture, miracles were not God’s standard operating procedure. Many people assume the Bible is packed with miracles, but it isn’t. Only during certain periods in biblical history were there clustering’s of signs and wonders—during the Exodus, during the ministries of Elijah and Elisha, during the … Continue reading Thankful to this Day for the Amazing Providence of God!
