Finding God’s Presence ~ In the Middle of a Thicket, Rose Hips Grew

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 14, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

Blue tugged hard on the leash, insisting on following the sound of crunching leaves through the thicket alongside our mountain road. He pulled hard, me flailing behind him. Stopping abruptly, Blue’s nose twitched while his eyes searched for his prize — a rabbit! Thank goodness it was a fast rabbit and Blue is not a fan of briers. Whew!

But in the middle of that thicket, overgrown with chaos and winter brown, grew a lesson from God.

Rose hips.

I had never considered rose hips before.

But today was different.

A Prayer to Be Safe in God’s Presence

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 11, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Safe thus far, Lord. Yes! You have brought me safe thus far — never failing me, never leaving me, always abounding with grace toward Your child. Thank You, Lord. You are an amazing God, faithful always, even when I am not.

Please forgive me for those times I fail You and take matters into my own hands. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me with Thy spirit free. Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within me.

Faith Notes ~ Eliza Downer: You Give and Take Away. Blessed Be Your Name

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 9, 2018 | bible devotions online, Faith Notes, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

For starters, what a great name! Eliza Downer. Eliza is one of those connections that absolutely would not have happened without the hand of God orchestrating our meeting, albeit online. She had commented on a thread I was following on facebook and the Lord pointed His finger from heaven and said, “That one. Ask Eliza to share on Faith Notes.” So I did.

And I’m so glad I did.

What a precious, Godly young woman she is. Eliza has lost it all to find Christ. She is learning the hard lesson of surrendering her dreams with complete abandon to the One she trusts, because trusting Him is all she can do in her circumstances. But Jesus is her sure place and He is great at wiping her tears when they freely fall. #FaithNotes

Finding God’s Presence ~ Is God Still Sovereign, Even in the Ugly?

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 7, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker |

I’ve come to appreciate the sovereignty of God.

It’s hard to explain.

When I understand — when you understand — that God is sovereign, then I understand that He’s my constant in an ever-changing world. When I understand and take hold of the fact that He’s the authority in my world and that nothing comes my way without His knowledge, I find peace.

A Prayer When the Enemy Comes in Like a Flood

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 4, 2018 | bible devotions online, Finding God's Presence, Nan Jones author and speaker, prayer |

Lord, all week long You have reminded me that You are my Jehovah Nissi — the Lord, my Banner. You have reminded me that when the enemy comes in like a flood — and boy howdy, has he! — You, my Lord, are faithful to raise Your banner against Him.

Help me understand, Lord — to get it in my knower.

Help others who are worn out by the ceaseless spiritual battles understand Your goodness in the midst of these actions.
