Naming, Claiming, and Proclaiming

the Abundant Life

Who am I? Good question. Who am I, really?
A very good question, a soul-searching question.

I am in search of The Abundant Life.
Why  choose the abundant life? What is it? And where may it be found?

Join me in my journey to The Abundant Life.

Why desire it?    What is it?   Where is it?

Thought For an abundant day

To Wait Is To Trust

“That is why I wait expectantly, trusting God to help, for he has promised.”

Psalm 130:5

Trustful waiting on God’s promise lies between hopeless inaction and frantic activity. It is neither passive nor chaotic. It is the bond of our relationship with God and the promise is this: ““No one who waits for my help will be disappointed (ashamed).” Isaiah 49:23

Trustful waiting in the midst of great sorrow, dire situations, or from the harsh realization of what is not under our control is painfully difficult. It may not seem a consolation, but sometimes what we think of as our waiting for God’s action is His waiting for our trust. We don’t know and don’t have a magic wand, so let’s drop our search for the magic wand and grasp God’s promise for His help.

I conclude each reflection with a mention of God’s altar because it is at God’s altar where blessings are bestowed, gratitude is offered, and wholeness is made. And God’s altar may be found anywhere and everywhere, and especially in my heart.

Ask Without Reservation

Today I will ask more. It is not that God withholds, but that man does not ask. By asking, we strip away pride, self-sufficiency, rationality, idols, and everything else so that “God can strip away their idols and expose the gaping hole in their hearts.” (Chambers,...
