Gems Of Wisdom

Stories And Songs Of Faith: My Journey With God A 52-Week Devotional by Alexis Goring is a powerful devotional that will aid your walk with God.

Alexis Goring writes in a very personable way as she shares stories and songs that will help to draw us closer to God. This book is full of common sense and godly wisdom. Each chapter has scriptures to back up Alexis Goring’s words. It also has two questions at the close of each chapter, designed to help us look internally as we assess our walk with God.

God is with us 24/7. We do not have a distant God but “we have a God who hears.” We are called to “be the message of hope.” We have a hurting world that needs to know Jesus. We need to show Jesus to our friends, family and neighbours.

Alexis Goring tells us we are “a masterpiece in the making.” We are made in His image. As such He knows all our names. Do you know His name? We are all responsible for our individual walk with God. We cannot rely on our parent’s faith, we must know Jesus personally.

God searches for us and rescues us from a life of disconnection from Him. “God always shows up in a storm.” No matter where we go, no matter what we’ve done, God longs for each and every one of us to know Him. Susan May Warren uses the literary device of pathetic fallacy. As the storm rages around characters threatening to disrupt lives, a spiritual battle rages within.
