A Fault Line in Your Life

Every Friday @ 12:30pm (CST), you can hear a weekly challenge from me on Faith Music Radio.  My podcast is called Posted by Rebekah. You can listen online HERE or download the free app for your smartphone.  I would love for you to join us, listen and take the challenge!
Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk. 

Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)


We have many earthquakes here in Reno, NV.  When my family was here visiting for Christmas, we had a 4.4 earthquake.  It was quite hilarious really.  My husband yells out from the bathroom – “Did you feel that???”  At the same time, both of my sisters were texting me – “Was that an earthquake?  Everything shook!!”

Well, my four daughters, niece and myself looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.  We didn’t feel a thing!

In fact, Reno has had 133 earthquakes in the past 365 days.  And I didn’t feel one of them.

You see, these internal fault lines have always been there.  And these earthquakes have been going on all this time.  Without really no effect to most of us.

Let’s now think about the internal fault lines in our personal lives.  Maybe we don’t know they are there – nothing has ever surfaced to really even have to make us face them.  But there may be times in our life – that the big one happens.  Revealing those internal fault lines that have been there all this time.  Now…we have to face it.  Our world has been shaken.  What are we going to do about it?

We can fall into the crevice that the earthquake has created in our life and stay there.  We can let ourselves fall into depression and disillusionment and never recover.

Or we can get up, receive forgiveness and with humility, go on with the strength from the Lord.  Just because a fault line has been revealed does not mean it has to be your downfall.  It just means that now you know what you are facing – face it with wisdom and the Lord!

So today’s challenge is:  As the ground may shake in your life today, whether small or big, face each tremor with wisdom and the Lord.


Will you take the challenge?

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
