Just as He says it will be
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to speak about those times when you find yourself totally in the dark, without a clue about what is coming next. This will be the case when trouble comes and you have no answer for it. However, it can also be true when opportunity shows itself to you. Life will bring both kinds of circumstance. I am reminded of young King Solomon’s reply when God invited him to ask anything. Solomon asked for wisdom. 1 Kings 4:29 (NKJV) says, “And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.” It is unfortunate that Solomon soon forgot to use what he asked for.
When you find yourself in the dark, without any answers, the Holy Spirit is the one completely dependable source to whom you can turn. Ask for wisdom and understanding. He will provide it and you can proceed with confidence. Make Him your companion through all the journeys of your life. He will show you the truths you need and illuminate the paths you travel. With the Holy Spirit as your guide, you can expect the journey will be just as He says it will be. I strongly encourage you to let total dependence on God find its way into your life. You will move ahead in the light of His glory, because you chose to walk a path of obedience and faith. Then, you will see His glory released, as He leads and guides you to your destiny. Finally, you will gain the opportunity to let His glory be seen by others, because your fruitfulness will demonstrate His faithfulness. I’m Dr. Bob. Ask yourself how diligent you are to include the Holy Spirit in your daily walk through life. What could you change to allow more of His wisdom and understanding to influence you?

Pursue The Truth
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I would like to clarify an absolute truth… about truth. Too often, we pursue those things we call truth in an attempt to bring us immediate relief or perhaps temporary release. The truth is… only the truth you find in God’s Word is completely reliable and fully effective, always and in all ways! In John 8:32 (NKJV), Jesus said, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” Then, in John 14:6 (NKJV), He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” (more…)

An Equal Opportunity Destroyer
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to share with you something Rear Admiral Barry Black, the Chaplain of the United States Senate said. Listen carefully. He said, “Sin is an equal opportunity destroyer.” My wife Nancy has a simple saying about sin. She says, “Sin hates you.” Those are both as simple and truthful as it gets. Romans 7:24 (NKJV) says, “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?” John 8:36 (NKJV) says, “He who the Son sets free is free indeed.” (more…)

A Faithful System
I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute I want to speak to you about the way God responds to your prayers. God has a unique, miraculously effective system that He puts into divine motion the very second you make your prayer request known to Him. Let me give you an example from Genesis 22. As Abraham began to climb up one side of the Mountain, his son Isaac questioned where the sacrifice would come from. (more…)
