01940 – Letting God Choose My Path
It is presumptuous of me to wish to choose my path, because I cannot tell which path is best for me. I must leave it to the Lord, who knows me, to lead me by the that which is best for me, so that in all things His will may be...
01911 – Ready to Cut That Rope?
I’m all for waiting on the Lord and careful discernment. There are also times we need to cut that rope tethering us to the the dock, launching out onto the sea. God can more easily guide a ship in motion than one securely attached to home base. Sometimes courageous,...
