Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is stop, rest, and enjoy the life God has given us. ❤️ My husband and I are taking a much-needed vacation September 19–27, so 5 Minutes with God will be taking a little “day of rest” too. 😂 Rather than stressing myself out trying to work ahead,…

Sometimes we genuinely don’t know what to do next. Other times, we know exactly what the next step is. We just don’t want to take it. God isn’t asking you to leap all the way to the finish line today. He’s asking you to take the next faithful step with Him. Today the Holy Spirit…

It is amazing how much of our time and energy can be consumed by things that, in the grand scheme of eternity, really don’t matter very much. “The LORD has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does.” — Isaiah 8:11 NLT The world is constantly teaching us what should matter.…
