Arguing with God

Cindy Arora July 29, 2025

Have you ever argued with God? I have, many times. In one of my recent arguments with God, I sounded like Moses in the verse above; “Lord, please send someone else.”

God has asked me to …

I became intrigued . . .

Endurance to the End

Cindy Arora April 8, 2025

My spiritual journals over the years are peppered with pleas that I would not deny Christ, like Peter did. And that I would not depart from the Lord in my old age, like Solomon did. Especially . ..

From Complaint to Victory   

Cindy Arora March 25, 2025

I don’t’ want to be too gross here, but I have had tummy and intestinal issues since returning from my overseas trip in January. In addition, I had some hip pain that was causing sleepless nights. When I don’t get enough sleep, my mind acts like a tired toddler. . . .

Dream Interpretation 

Cindy Arora March 11, 2025

Do you neglect to record your dreams because they seem wacky to you? I did. I’m finding help from Hearing God Through Your Dreams by Charity Virkler Kayembe (see book review on January 28, 2025).

Yes, dream interpretation belongs to God. He is the One who gives us our wacky dreams in the first place. He is trying to communicate something to us. But what? . . .

Bezalel the Builder

Cindy Arora February 25, 2025

God called us by name to build Him a dwelling place too. You and I are the temple of God (1 Cor. 3:16-17). How do we “build” God a dwelling place in our hearts? I’m finding inspiration . . .

Rephidim, a Place of Rest

Cindy Arora February 11, 2025

A place of rest is not necessarily a place of peace. Anyone who lives with major regrets can attest that simply exiting the wilderness of sin does not bring peace. The washing of the water of God’s Word is the life-giving source. Jesus said . . .

Worship Brings Restoration

Cindy Arora December 3, 2024

 When God snatched my stepsister back from the dark side, she read the entire Bible in three months. Three months! It takes me a whole year to read through the Bible. I felt convicted.

My excuse, at that time, was . . .

Thankfulness Gives Instant Access to God

Cindy Arora November 19, 2024

Do you long for God’s presence, but don’t know how to get there? Thankfulness is the key.

Thankfulness is the door (gate) that gives us access to God’s courtyard. Once we are in the house of God, we commune with God in praise and worship.

The world’s depravity stems from the root of unthankfulness . . .

The farm workers were thrilled to be gifted Bibles in the local language. They started . . .
