Walk With Darrell

Franklin Graham writes,” we can have full confidence in God’s promises because we can have faith in His character”. God has given us a lot of promises in His Word. Some of God’s promises were for individuals or nations. For example, God made Abraham a promise that Sarah would have a son, but we cannot presume that He will do the same for us. However, many promises are for us to claim when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. There is a gospel song, I have sung in church ma

Psalm 105:4 4 Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. God’s love never changes, and He has always been there in our lives. There have been times when God has felt distant, but if we are honest, it was not because He wasn’t there, but times when we turned away from Him. God has promised to give us strength to see us through any challenge. He will give us the courage to face any trial and the wisdom to live the life that is pleasing to Him. Isaiah 41:10 10 So d

Matthew 7: 7 – 8 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What are you dealing with in your life right now? Do you need strength to make it through the day? Are you in trouble? Are you discouraged? Are you lonely? Do you have an illness?

I started reading the book of Daniel this week. It is so enjoyable reading Daniel, and this book is so inspiring for Christians to follow Daniel’s example. To be like Daniel would be to stand on God’s principles in our life. Daniel was a young Israelite living in exile in Babylon, yet he still follows God. What an example Daniel provides. He is a man willing to stand alone. It did not matter that the leadership of Babylon insisted on a particular diet. He knew he was right a

God promises to direct our lives if we just ask. You would not believe over the years the number of times I have asked the Lord to guide me in the direction I should take. Terri and I at times will reflect on times in our lives when the Lord watched over us and guided our steps. Just tonight we thought of times throughout our marriage when God led us in decisions we needed to make. This strengthens our faith in God for our future as we know the Lord will be a guiding light f

Deuteronomy 5:33 (NIV) 33 Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. God promises that obedience matters. The bible is full of God’s commands, these are not “suggestions” they are not “helpful hints”. These are God’s instructions that lead to repentance, salvation, and an abundant life. God loves us and is committed to us. He commands our obedience, not because

Terri and I were asked how we handle worry. Worry is a form of fear. First question for us was do we ever worry, and the second question...

One of the promises God gives us is to help carry our burdens. Whether emotional, financial, or relational, our burdens can weigh us...
