“Revealing Secrets” – Today’s Feisty Faith Devotional Entry

NOVEMBER 2

Revealing Secrets

The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

Psalm 25:14

God doesn’t have favorites, but He does reveal certain things to those who consistently spend time with Him.

The more you seek God in prayer and through the Scriptures, the more you’ll get to know Him. You’ll see how He worked in the lives of the people mentioned in the Bible. You’ll learn about God’s traits by how He provided for His people, disciplined them, and astounded them.

As you reflect on your own life, you’ll see how God has been carefully unveiling your story as well.

May God reveal hidden treasures and mysteries to you in your quiet time with Him.

Continue taking time to hear from God, and continue taking prayerful action by faith.

May God trust you enough to give you a preview of all the goodness around the corner for you.

“Firm Foundation” – Entry From NEW Feisty Faith Devotional

OCTOBER 26

Firm Foundation

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Matthew 7:24–25

When you’re rooted and grounded in Christ, you can be pounded on by hurricane winds and torrential rain and still have the fortitude to stand.

Jesus Christ is your firm foundation.

As the water rages and wind howls, may you keep your peace, knowing that they won’t tear you apart.

Your challenges won’t overpower you. Your enemies won’t defeat you.

May you stand on the promises of God found in the Bible, and may you see how God will bring you into your victory season, at His set time.

Feisty Faith Devotional Launch Day!

I’m so excited that today is the launch day for Feisty Faith: Trusting God Day by Day. Feisty Faith is an empowering, encouraging and edifying 365-day devotional. You can now order copies right on Amazon. I plan to share lots more information in upcoming posts. Here’s an excerpt from the Introduction of this inspiring devotional:

“Have you noticed that walking by faith isn’t always a lovely stroll in the park on a sunny afternoon?

Living by faith can sometimes feel like you’re limping along a winding road with endless dips and hills and twists and turns amid unrelenting torrential rain and gusting wind.

Ever been there? Maybe you’re in that season right now.

No matter where you find yourself on your faith journey, I’d like to remind you that God’s got you in the palm of His hand.

I’ve walked quite a few miles with the Lord now. I’ve trekked through my share of grueling valleys and breathtaking mountaintops. I’ve seen God do some amazing things on six continents, which you can read about in By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking with God Here and Abroad.

I’ve learned that God is faithful. I’ve also learned how to fight the good fight of faith.

If I had to describe my type of faith in one word, especially these last couple of years, it would be “feisty.”

Feisty faith is steadfast and has the tenacity to keep trusting God in the midst of adversity, the grit to stand on God’s Word even during the brutal storms of life, the grace to keep moving forward, and the audacity to believe God for the impossible.

Feisty faith prays and obeys. Feisty faith looks for God’s hand in all circumstances.

What a great honor it is to be able to share some of my life verses with you in this devotional. I’m sharing these Bible verses to spur you on and help deepen your faith in God. There are hundreds more Bible verses I could share, but these Scriptures are especially near and dear to my heart.

I’ve drawn strength from these verses. I’ve stood on some of these verses for years. I’ve cried over some of these verses. I’ve been comforted by these verses. I’ve lived many of these verses. I’ve found direction and counsel from these verses. I’ve gained such courage from some of these verses, enough to board planes to go on short-term missions trips to five countries and to pray for strangers on the streets in New York City and overseas.

My prayer is that these verses will encourage and inspire you to walk by abounding faith, hope, and love and to live your God-given dreams. May you go on to do the great exploits and good works God has ordained for you. May you be strengthened in your inner being.”

Thanks for all your prayers and support. God is Good!

My Gold Medal Moment and Road to Damascus – Reflections on Sydney

This month marks a milestone in my faith journey. It’s been quite some time since the Lord chased me down in Australia. I’ve been walking with Him ever since.

My trip to Sydney was a cross between my gold medal moment and my road to Damascus. I’m sharing just a taste of the sights and sounds I experienced in the short clip above. You can read about my Miraculous and Lovely time in Sydney in By Faith.

There have been highs and lows, but God has remained faithful. It’s an honor to get to share some of what I’ve learned over the years in Books 1-4. I’m so looking forward to sharing even more of the insights and truths I’ve learned in Book 5. Please stay tuned! God is Good!

Walking by faith ain’t easy, but God will see you through! When God calls, you’d be wise to answer. He knows what’s on the other side of our yes.

Blessings to you as you walk by abounding faith, hope and love and live your God-given dreams.

Get Writing

Are you feeling called to honor God through writing a book but have gotten stuck along the way? As I gear up to release Book 5, there are lots of lessons I’ve learned over the years. I’d like to help you advance in your writing journey. If you’ve hit a brick wall with your work in progress and need some guidance from someone who has been down those roads before, I’d be delighted to answer your burning questions. For a limited time, I’m offering a “Write that Book” 1-hour strategy call so we can work together to uncover what is hindering and keeping you stuck with your current book project and map out a way for you to continue moving forward.

Don’t lose heart. God will see us through these tough times.
