YO-YO FAITH

 YUCK! Fish breath! How could such a cute, cuddly companion smell soooo bad? One look at his back teeth answered that question. And I discovered yo-yo faith!

Faith or Fear?

Ever have one of those days (or several) where it feels like your mind or your emotions just got plastered with sludge? You did your devotions, had your breakfast, you're even on your second cup of coffee but your engine just slipped into reverse? Niggling fears or anxious thoughts have set up camp and threaten to steal your time and energy. What now?

Two Sparrows or a Headache

What – me worry? No way. I wrote a book on prayer. Hmmm. It seems I am not immune to fretting nonetheless.

One day during my prayer time God gave me an image of two sparrows sitting in His hands. Immediately this Scripture came to mind: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care” (Matthew 10:29 NIV).

Matthew 6:26 also tells us that the birds of the air do not sow or reap and yet our heavenly Father feeds them all. “Are you not much more valuable than they?”

What was God trying to tell me?
