Deep Times With God

God’s hand is the safest place to be; not our finances or our home. Walking with God benefits our spiritual, mental and physical health. “I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul,” says 3 John 1:2.

Our journey on Earth is only complete when we have done and experienced everything that God planned for us. What God has planned for us is not a half-measure. He just asks that we spend time with Him so that He might transform, shape, elevate, and use us for His glory.

We should not compare ourselves to others since it will only lead to frustration, melancholy, worry, and fear of the unknown.

Deep Times with God helps us comprehend how God works to do miracles, protect us, and always lead us.
