In A Single Day Everything Will Change
Kathi Pelton “In a single day everything can change.” This statement is often used when a great loss or tragedy happens in a life or in a nation. These traumatic moments mark time with a delineation of “before and after”. They are what humans dread and fear most. God is desiring to mark a time…

Do Not Fret…Trust Him
Kathi Pelton For any of you who follow my writings, you are aware of the 40-day time of “Yielding” that God has been leading us in. When I saw that today is day 37 I immediately thought of one of our life verses, Psalm 37: “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the…

God is Purifying All That the Enemy Has Defiled
Kathi Pelton As I’ve taken the past two months to meditate on Zechariah 3–a story that is marked by God’s miraculous grace to save a man defiled by his own iniquities—I have become keenly aware of this continual work of grace happening in the lives of God’s sons and daughters even now.

The Heavens Declare His Glory and So Will Your Life!
Kathi Pelton Today I was thinking about the power of declarations and the words from Psalm 19 began to flow through my mind and spirit, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have…

You Are the Apple of God’s Eye

The God of Second Chances
Kathi Pelton To be saved is to be given a second chance. When Jesus paid the price for the penalty that sin had brought against mankind it created a way for every man and every woman to receive a second chance through a full pardon. As I’ve been studying the third chapter of Zechariah I…
