  • Storms

    Storms
    Jan 8 2026

    “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of diffi culty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fi re of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2 (NLT)

    I was watching a news report this morning about an earthquake in Asia. It wasn’t as bad as some earthquakes, but it got me thinking about the “storms” we all face in life. Everybody has their share of storms—storms of health, relationships, finances, employment (or lack thereof) . . . storms of scenarios we didn’t choose, and then the “reap what you sow” quagmires we find ourselves in.

    God’s Word gives us answers to the storms we face in this life. Everything from attitude struggles to marriage breakdown, from noisy neighbors to out-of-control credit cards—you get the picture . . . everything!

    You or I might not be too thrilled sometimes about the answers we find in God’s Word, but that’s not the point. God’s Word is the truth, and the truth doesn’t change.

    Storms come whether we deserve them or not—that’s just how life goes. God’s Word has the answer to each tempest. It’s up to us to apply those principles and parameters to the life scenarios we find ourselves or put ourselves in. Our response to the storm is in our hands.

  • Living Out God’s Promises

    Living Out God’s Promises
    Jan 7 2026
    “Honor thy father and mother; which is the fi rst commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” Ephesians 6:2-3 (KJV) The Bible is full of God’s wonderful promises for us to obey and reap His blessings. Exodus 20:12 is another scripture that instructs us to honor our parents—with a similar promise. For the most part, it was natural for me to love and honor my parents. But there was a time in my life I struggled, as I wanted to go my own way. It began when I left home to attend residential school and later, high school. This is where I was exposed to ungodliness. I believe it was the prayers of my parents that kept me alive. After high school I made the decision to follow the Lord, and it was a blessing to be a part of a Bible- believing church where I was discipled. Living out God’s Word became more meaningful, and I was still guided by my Christian parents, as our relationship became God based. Moving forward, my parents reached their time to retire, and I became the main caregiver. It was both an honor and the most challenging task to fulfi ll until they both succumbed to illnesses. My mother was 84 years old when she died of heart failure, and my father was 86 when he died of cancer. It is never easy to watch loved ones suffer, but the quality time we spent together outweighs the pain. I will forever treasure the memories of my time with them. Today, I thank my heavenly Father for the opportunity and strength He gave to be a part of honoring my parents. He is faithful, and He will always fulfi l His promises written in His Word. In my role as a mental health counselor, I get to encourage others to do their best when given the opportunity to look after their parents. Truly it is an honor. – Liz Beardy Council Fire is a collaboration with Intertribal Life Ministries and Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.

  • Growing in the Lord

    Growing in the Lord
    Jan 6 2026
    “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 (KJV) I remember when I fi rst came to Jesus. I was 16 years old and didn’t have a clue of how to follow the Lord! Over the years I learned many things about living for Jesus. I want to share with you the three biggest things that have helped me grow in my walk. (1) Getting into God’s Word. At fi rst l didn’t know much about the Bible and wasn’t too interested in getting deeper into it. But that is the way the Lord speaks to us. It’s only when I began to read and understand the Bible that I grew in my faith. It’s now a part of everyday life. (2) Praying. I love to pray now, but it wasn’t always that way. I didn’t understand the importance of open communication with God. At first, I would run out of things to pray after fi ve minutes. As my relationship with the Lord got deeper, I found that I could talk to Him about absolutely anything! (3) Making the Right Choices. Before a person becomes a believer, the Lord is not part of their decision making. That’s how it was for me. Then His Word began to come alive to me and was what I would base my choices on. God’s Word helped me to realize when I was in the wrong, and I came under the Holy Spirit’s conviction when I made selfish choices. My relationship to God today is the biggest thing in my life. Everything else is secondary to Him! I wouldn’t want it to be any other way. Dear God, thank You that when I become anxious and worried, I can always come to You. You are faithful and have shown me that I can leave my burdens and cares with You. Amen. – Milly Jackson Council Fire is a collaboration with Intertribal Life Ministries and Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
