Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Simplifying Your Journey - #3805
And what do smart sheep do? Try to figure out where they're going to find some good pasture...or try to figure out which road is safe and which one is dangerous...or move in the direction that looks best to them? Nope. They do what my wife did traveling in that unfamiliar territory out West. They quit trying to figure it out for themselves and follow the One who knows every mile of the road! In John 10:27, Jesus says, "My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me."

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Filled with the Good Stuff - #3813
Now, my glass filled with water is actually a picture of one of the most powerful prayers you can pray for yourself or for someone you care about. In fact, it is such a good prayer that it's one of the relatively few that God thought should be included in the Bible so we could all read it. The basic thrust of this prayer is repeated several times as Paul tells us what he prayed for when he prayed for the important people in his life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When You're Tired of Climbing - #3847
It could be that you're climbing a pretty steep slope right now. It's been a long climb - and as you look ahead, you've still got a long way to go - maybe spiritually, maybe emotionally, maybe in getting through a time of great pain or need - maybe in working through some family problems. And right now you're battling some discouragement, some feelings of giving up, some deep weariness. You're discouraged by how much is left to do - the amount of ground you still have to cover. And it may be bringing you to standstill.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Your Personal Life Support System - #5309
Spiritually speaking, we live in an environment where the air is often pretty polluted with temptation, with totally un-God ways of thinking, with stress, with negativity. When that's pretty much what your soul breathes all day long, you end up gasping for air and sometimes going under.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - No Substitute for a Daddy - #5321
If you've been trusted by God with the awesome assignment of being a father, don't ever forget that there's nothing that can take your place in the life of your son or daughter. No matter how young or how old they are.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Always Have a Good Day - #5323
Every day is another day to praise Him. Maybe your lens has just been trained on the problems and the burdens. You need to get your wide-angle lens on and look at the blessings that are all over your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Miracle in the Mirror - #5325
God gave you your worth from birth - actually, before birth. Most of what you are today was all there in your genetic code, basically from the moment you were conceived. No one on earth gave you your worth, and no one on earth can take it away.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Facing Your Fears - #5332
Where's the issue you've been afraid to deal with? Like Paula, it could be some very painful things in your past, or a loss you haven't allowed yourself to grieve for, or some area in which you've refused to obey God's direction because of your fear of the unknown. Maybe there's a ticking time bomb in your marriage, in some of your children, or in your church. It could be you've got a fear of abandonment. But if there is any issue like these that you have been too afraid to face, you know that ignoring it doesn't make it go away. It never has.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Dangling in Space - #5346
Your security comes from who is holding the rope: your big, strong Heavenly Father. You may be in a situation where it seems as if God is all you've got. That's when you find out that God is all you need. And it has nothing to do with your ability to hang on; it's all about God's ability to hang on.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - People Sweetener - #3861
Now, if you've been around the Jesus life very long, you've heard plenty about the importance of daily Bible reading, devotions, quiet time and so on. For some, that's a part of a list of spiritual duties and it's one that is often neglected, frankly. Will all of those who have difficulty maintaining a consistent Bible reading time, would you please raise your hand right now? Okay, oh - hands are going up all over the place! Well, there are plenty of us! This has got to be something more than an entry on your list of Christian chores.
