Even If i Walk Alone

Instructing and encouraging you to live your life as a disciple of Jesus

Deuteronomy

God Is Our Portion

June 2, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

In a world that obsesses over always having more, we must always remember that God is our portion (Lamentations 3:24). We don’t need the trinkets and baubles of this life. We don’t need fame, success, or notoriety. All we need is Jesus (John 6:35). Jeremiah knew his very existence was because of God’s faithful love (Lamentations 3:22).

No matter how desperate the situation or circumstances, the prophet rested in the goodness of God. Many centuries later, the Apostle Paul would echo those same sentiments when he wrote that God would supply all our needs (Philippians 4:19). Faithful men of God throughout history have understood what we have forgotten: we need nothing else in life but God Himself (Psalm 73:25).

Our God Is Awesome

April 3, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

Do you ever have those moments when it occurs to you how much of an idiot you are? I’m hoping there are some nodding heads out there and I’m not alone in feeling this way. There are those moments of clarity when I’m reminded of who God is, how glorious and majestic He is, and how small I am. I understand God created us in His image (Genesis 1:27), so this is not about diminishing who we are in the eyes of our Maker.

What I mean is we don’t spend enough time contemplating the sheer awesomeness of the God we serve (Psalm 145:3). If the point of our lives is not to know, glorify, and to be known by our Heavenly Father, then there is no point to any of this (John 17:3). Our God is awesome, beyond all words or comprehension (Isaiah 40:28).

Exchanging Truth for Lies

January 6, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

God’s Word never ceases to amaze in how relevant it remains. Anyone who thinks the Bible is an outdated collection of dusty writings isn’t paying attention. Almost 2,000 years ago, the Apostle Paul penned these words in his letter to the Church in Rome: “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen” (Romans1:25).

We see this verse continue to play out in Western countries all over the world. Societies and cultures founded on the principles of Scripture and their faith in God have abandoned the truth of God’s Word to follow their desires, lusts, and pleasures (2 Timothy 3:1-4; 1 John 2:16). They are exchanging truth for lies, convinced their wisdom is superior to God’s (1 Corinthians 1:18-21).

The Blessings of the Lord

December 23, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

There are times when the blessings of the Lord are overwhelming. Truth be told, that’s how we should feel every day. Where would we be without God? The blessings in your life are innumerable and outrageous, even if you think your life is a mess and feel you’re at the point of breaking (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Every one of us is a sinner, guilty of breaking God’s law, and deserving an eternity in Hell (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23).

Few of us consider that as often as we should, assuming we ever consider it at all. You’re still breathing. You still have an opportunity to fulfill your purpose in life (Philippians 1:6). How much more of a blessing could you ask for? And yet, the Lord still showers more and more blessings into our lives every day (Lamentations 3:22-23).

Make the Most of It

December 19, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

When you meet Jesus, will He find that you’ve made the most of your life in this world, while thinking little of the life to come? I hope not. When choosing how to spend our life on earth, we must make the most of it. We only get one trip through this life. One journey to define our allegiance, one adventure to create a story.

What is the story you are writing? Is it one filled with achievement, wealth, power, and conquest? Or is it one of surrender, submission, purpose, and humility? Which of those stories do you think God intends for you to write? Which will bring glory and honor to Him (1 Corinthians 10:31)?
