Some days it just doesn’t happen – you know? No matter how hard we try, some days we just never settle enough to hear from God. It should never be an excuse but I think rather than beat ourselves up, we should realize that God is near and trying to speak to us regardless of our disposition.
From the outset of this ministry, my intention with this blog has been to be completely transparent with my thoughts. Sometimes that comes out more raw than polished but you will not find anything but honesty here in these posts. My blog posts, most of the time, flow directly out of my own personal journey and the insight God gives me through that journey. But today, I went to the file cabinet in my mind and found the files pretty bare. Pray for me.
But even in this experience, God is teaching me that we are not going to have a deep, inspirational time with God every morning (or whenever you spend time with God). The real issue becomes faithfulness and consistency.
So know this today, even on the days that your time with God seems dry and lacking fruitfulness, God is there right beside you. Stay strong – stay faithful.
May the God of all blessings and mercy shower you today with the peace that you can’t understand.

To know the blessing of the “peace that I cannot understand.” Truly God’s blessing!
Thanks Brian. I feel that way more than I care to admit. I always find out that God is there talking to me, the only problem is that I don’t slow down enough to listen.
We all have days where we think our “filing cabinets” are empty. The problem is that our real filing cabinets are usually too full with our attention.
We will always continue to keep you and your ministry in our prayers. Thank you for all you have done and will do for us. Words cannot express what you mean to me and our family.
