From the Helm

This collection offers inspirational and motivational insight on the reality of living by faith. Thank God for a love that went right on reaching down to us, even after we nailed it to a tree! If we need to make some changes, picking January 1 as a starting point wont help much. The changes God requires of us have to do with courage, discipline, and faith. They are spiritual battles that are waged daily, and we dare not leave them for the first of January. Sometimes we are like people going up in an elevator, holding on to our heavy suitcase. Put it down, and the elevator will take care of it for you. When living by faith, you are instructed to give all your worries and cares to God for He cares about what happens to you (1 Peter 5:7 NLB). Revival should be an everyday affair, where day by day I come under the lordship of Christ. Its not what comes down from heaven that brings revival; its who is already in your temple and mine. Its not a vertical downpour; its a horizontal takeover. As we allow the Holy Spirit to claim all the ground in our lives, thats revival!
