[Title] => Facing my fears
[Summary] => In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. – Psalm 138:3
After Bill and I married, I became overly dependent on him, rather than depending on God for my security and strength. Feeling very inadequate and fearful, secretly I worried, "What if one day I don’t have Bill anymore?"

[Title] => People God can use
[Summary] => Be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share. – 1 Timothy 6:18
Evangelist Franklin Graham wrote, "If we want to become the type of people that God can use anytime, anywhere, anyplace, we must offer ourselves, our homes, our kitchens, and our living rooms as outposts for the kingdom of God." People who practice these words are fulfilling Paul’s challenge to "be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share" (1 TIMOTHY 6:18).

[Title] => Fretting is a waste
[Summary] => Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. – Psalm 90:12
The older we get, the shorter life seems. Author Victor Hugo said, "Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time."

[Title] => Christ-centered faith
[Summary] => As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the lord, so walk in Him. – Colossians 2:6
Some Christians try to live from one dramatic mountaintop experience to another. Their relationship with the Lord is based on their feelings at the moment. They go from Bible conferences to seminars to Bible studies, trying to maintain an emotional high.

[Title] => Heart to heart
[Summary] => Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge to us. – Psalm 62:8
We would expect King David to be extremely upset, because his enemies were scheming to dethrone him. Yet in PSALM 62 he testified that his soul was quietly confident before God. How was this possible in the midst of such turmoil? Verse 8 offers a clue – one I discovered for myself several years ago.

[Title] => Taste and say!
[Summary] => Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! – Psalm 34:8
Do you believe God is good, even when life isn’t? Mary did, and I gasped in amazement that day I heard her pastor share her story at her funeral.
Mary had been a widow – very poor, and housebound because of her ailments in old age. But like the psalmist, she had learned to praise God amid her hardships. Over the years she had come to savor with deep gratitude every good thing He sent her away.

[Title] => Planting good seeds
[Summary] => Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD. – Hosea 10:12
As a new gardener, I soon learned that uncultivated soil was resistant to seed planting and growth. But when I planted good seeds in well-prepared soil, heaven’s sun and rain did their part until the harvest came. Well-prepared soil, the right seeds, and God’s blessing are essential for fruitfulness, not only in gardening but also in Christian living.
