Please bear patience with me as I share a quick summary of the early years of David. Today, I’m driving a SIMPLE TRUTH to share with you… It takes time and patience to let GOD do His work in our lives. It’s our human nature to want everything worked out RIGHT this minute! Although we’d prefer things to be fixed immediately, it often takes TIME as GOD is working and preparing in your life and mine to give us an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11 kjv) God told Samuel that He had rejected Saul from reigning over Israel. Samuel was instructed to go choose one of Jesse’s sons to be king.…

What David Learned About Fear
I would say one of my faulty weaknesses is FEAR. David often spoke in Psalms about FEAR and being afraid. (In the past, I have referred to Psalms as sort of being David’s journal.) David certainly had a reason to be afraid when Saul and his huge army set out to kill him. He says… “For I have heard the slander of many: FEAR was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.” – Psalm 31:13 kjv Sometimes I’m surprised at David’s FEAR, since he courageously brought down Goliath, the giant. Could not the same God that helped him destroy the…

What’s Stopping You From Reaching Your Full Potential for God?
As Christians we often harbor blockades in our life that keep us from reaching our full potential for God. If we were to be honest, most of these hindrances could be removed if we would but yield fully to the Holy Spirit’s convictions.

We want to participate in what’s popular to do. We hate conflict and don’t want to take a bold stand contrariwise. Our pride causes us to refuse to change. We let ourselves remain as baby…

Your Understanding Might Miserably Fail, and Here’s Why…
As a young teen my grandpa suffered many physical ailments. It was tough to see him suffer so much. I certainly did not understand why God let him go through so many difficulties. My grandpa’s testimony through this suffering; however, spoke VOLUMES about his FAITH. The nurses and doctors who treated my grandpa became well-acquainted with his faith in Jesus Christ. (Praise the Lord!) On one particular day, he was given bad news concerning cancer growing vastly in his body. Little hope was offered from the doctor and staff. With his upbeat FAITH he let the staff know that God could –and would heal him! To the doctor’s and nurses’…
