Finding God’s Presence ~ The Soulful Melody of a Babbling Brook

Posted by Nan Jones | Aug 15, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

In the shade of an old chestnut tree the brook babbled with a soulful melody. Cascading across mountain stones, notes of endurance sang out a song of peace. The water seemed alive with perseverance and strength — tenacity — as it carried a timeless breath of life across the mountain hollar.

I thought of the Lord as I sat on the carpet of moss along the brook’s edge.

I thought of His Living Water that flows within us, satisfying our soulful thirst that only the Lord can quench.

Finding God’s Presence ~ All We Are is Dust in The Wind. Really?

Posted by Nan Jones | Aug 8, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

“All we are is dust in the wind …”

The lyrics drifted through my mind as the four-part harmony rose and fell into beautiful melody. All afternoon the tune from my teenage years replayed in my thoughts.

I decided to find it on youtube and explore the lyrics. Never before had I realized what a song of hopelessness Dust in The Wind is!

I began to pray and ask the Lord why He had drawn me to this song, especially in the midst of very difficult, chaotic days — why point me to hopelessness?

But then I realized something profound and I can’t wait to share it with you.

A Prayer When You Want to Climb Out of the Pit

Posted by Nan Jones | Aug 5, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, thank You for hearing us when we cry out to You. Your mercy is great; Your love amazing. We praise You Lord for You alone are worthy of our praise. You are a great God. Thank You for calling us Your own.

Each day comes with its own challenges and sometimes the challenges come to us like rapid fire. And sometimes we don’t dodge quick enough and we get hit, knocked to our knees, face in the sand.

And we don’t like it.

In fact, we get tired in the fight.

A Prayer When You Don’t Know Which Way to Go

Posted by Nan Jones | Jul 29, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, You are my way, my truth, my life. You Are.

The closer I walk with You, the easier I find my way because my eyes are opened to see You leading, my heart is awakened to recognize You, and my ears are opened to hear You saying, “This is the way, walk in it.” Thank You, Lord

You make it sound so simple in Your instruction, and I suppose it is, but for us it gets muddy and complicated quite easily!

Why is that Lord?
