“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

I love the ocean. I love to watch the tide come in. That’s why I love this piece from Priscilla Leonard titled, The Tide is Sure to Win:
On the far reef the breakers recoil in shattered foam,
While still the sea behind them urges its forces home.
Its song of triumph surges o’er all the thunderous din:
The wave may break in failure, but the tide is sure to win!
Don’t you love that? The tide is sure to win. The same God who has programmed the planets to produce that undefeatable tide is the God who has programmed your life. When you get in league with the stars, when you say, “I will hear the Word of God, I will believe the God of that Word, and I will live by it. And whether I see it now, or whether I see it later, I know that I know that I know that His Word is true,” you are living in the design He planned. You are living with the One who is victorious. Sin can’t win and faith can’t fail. Have faith in God.
Share a personal story of God’s victory with a friend.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
