who God is


Psalm 28:6-9  NLT
Praise the Lord!  For he has heard my cry for mercy.  The Lord is my strength and shield.  I trust him with all my heart.  He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.  I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.  The Lord gives his people strength.  He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.  Save your people!  Bless Israel, your special possession.  Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever.

After having a personal experience with God we are able to share with others who need to have similar experiences.  Right?

By sharing we open the door for God to work similar ways in the lives of the people around us.  This could be those closest to us, like family or co-workers.  Could be that some random person hears your story and opens up to getting to know God.

Use your story and your experience to help others, but don’t stop there.  I believe you have been where I have.  We have experienced God, yet later on, short time or maybe a long time, we start to question what we learned or that God will do it again.  By remembering and sharing our experience with God we remind ourselves of the greatness of God.

Look at the verses above again.  Who is this God of ours?

He hears our prayers and answers them!

He is strong, trustworthy, helpful and fills us with joy!

He strengthens us and offers safety!

He knows my place and my challenges.  

Our God leads like a shepherd.

Pray.  Experience.  Share God with others and remind yourself often who He is, what He can do and let Him fill you with that same joy!

NOTE: this devotion was first shared in January of 2018

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
