God is good all the time...

...and all the time God is good.

He is my fortress. "He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalms 46:1). He is also our refuge, strength, and our very present help in time of peace. How do I know? Because He comforted me when I was high and He comforted me when I was going through hell. He gave me peace in the middle of a storm. I remember going through a traumatic event that I don't talk about much and I wondered how He would get me through it. I didn't dwell on it, I just wondered how, when all the decks were stacked against me. Yet He got me through in ways I could have never imagined. In fact I still scratch my head in awe and wonder. Yet, that's God.

He's good all the time and all the time He is good.

He wants to use our life as a testimony to people not to ever give up -- to stay with Him during the tough times and during the great times. Yes, He's good and He ensures "we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling (Psalm 46:2/3). He reminds us that we have nothing to fear. Fear (or anxiety) don't come from the Lord. Relax in Him and take solace that His Word stands through the test of time. It's solid, credible, and reliable. If you're having some challenges and going through a hard time right now, keep praying to God and keep seeking Him. And if you're not going through a hard time, still pray and keep seeking Him.

"The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress." Stand on God's Word.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" and Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
