Faith Notes ~ Lori Cunningham: Where Was God During My Violent Abuse?

Posted by Nan Jones | Jan 26, 2018 | bible devotions online, Faith Notes, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

I’ve only known Lori Cunningham a few short weeks through an online friendship, but I know there is something very special about her. I think of the beautiful, delicate rose whose petals have fallen to the ground only to be crushed by uncaring feet. But the result is the sweet aroma that infuses its surroundings with beauty and grace.

You see, Lori is that delicate rose who was crushed as a child, but she found the faithfulness of the Lord in her anguish and now her life emits the sweet aroma of Christ to the world around her. Although her story is very painful to read, she has found the presence of God throughout — even in the most vile moments. Lori clings to His outstretched hand, and He imparts grace and healing.

Finding God’s Presence ~ When I Need to SEE God

Posted by Nan Jones | Jan 24, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

I often read Psalms when I’m seeking solace or when my emotions are a tangled mess and I can’t make sense of them. Do you? I love David’s honesty with God and I garner much from his imagery as I am a visual learner. Sometimes when life is just plain hard and disappointing it’s hard to understand where God is in the mix — it’s hard to put the spiritual into the physical.

But then there is King David in the Psalms.

He gives me the tangible reality of God’s presence and the explosive passion for His child in need…

Lord, You know the old hymn, I Need Thee Every Hour? It is so true — I DO need You every hour. I need You every moment of every day. Some days more than others.

Today is one of those days.

I am delighted to share my guest, Tosin Olabode, with you today on Faith Notes. Tosin lives in Jos, Nigeria where he lives his young life with purpose and on mission for the Lord Jesus Christ. We met a few years ago on twitter and clicked instantly. He calls me Ma a good bit of the time, which I adore.

Tosin Olabode
Tosin is wise beyond his years and shares much wisdom in his first book, Insights, that just released on January 1st. As I prepared for this post I visited Tosin’s facebook page and found this message alongside one of his photos, “Your words of encouragement, your words of inspiration, your motivating speeches… Cant just say it all. When you handle mic, you speak… When you hold pen, you write and I always wish I can just have that you know. But to go by your words, nothing happens by mistake. So there’s a purpose of me meeting you and I thank God I did.”

Now do you believe me? This young man is very special. I can’t wait for you to meet my friend, Tosin Olabode.

Finding God’s Presence ~ Wilderness. A Place of Difficulty or Peace?

Posted by Nan Jones | Jan 17, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

“The wilderness is an unpleasant place, fleshly speaking. We naturally want prosperity, health, and easy going. But the same God who created the garden also created the wilderness. There will be times of trial and pressure. Our faith will be tested. But the God of grace will meet us even in the wilderness. Missionary Amy Carmichael knew this truth: ‘Bare heights of loneliness . . . a wilderness whose burning winds sweep over glowing sands, what are they to HIM? Even there He can refresh us, even there He can renew us'” (GotQuestions.org)
