Imagine, with me, a moment when you hear a knock at the door. You arise to answer the door to find Jesus standing there. Excitedly, you invite Him in, just as Martha did long ago. You are so excited you can hardly contain yourself; your mind is racing, thinking, “How...
Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it’s the only thing. --Albert Schweitzer One late afternoon, I arrived home from the grocery store. I loaded up my arms to carry everything in with as few trips as possible. It’s odd, but this has always been my way. Instead...
I once encountered a powerful piece of writing by Marsha Burns that really resonated with me. Even though it's been many years, I still find myself reflecting on its impact today. It said, Keep yourself from defilement. This may require pulling back from activities and relationships that are not beneficial...
“We marched around our house seven times a day for several days and prayed, and God paid it off.” This was the marvelous testimony I heard while listening to a ministry online this morning. While this is a beautiful testimony, this strategy won’t work for everyone. It worked for this...
Recently, I have been thinking about God's abiding presence. For God to have an abiding presence, the atmosphere must first be conducive to creating a resting place for God. Psalm 132:13-14 says For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home: “This is My resting place...
After being led on a three-day fast, I spent the night seeking guidance from the Lord through the scriptures. I was eager to receive any message or insight from Him following the completion of those days. As I delved into the Word of God, a familiar scripture caught my attention,...
Each year, I have goals: spiritual goals, physical goals, and financial goals. This past weekend, I was thinking about my financial goals for 2024 and what it would take to reach those goals before the year ends. As with most people unexpected things arise through the year that we are...
In Exodus 16, we read about God feeding the children of Israel with daily manna. Then the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they...
Over the weekend, I tuned in to an online message. While listening, I had a profound realization about myself. I discovered that I had unconsciously let go of some of God's promises, one of which was particularly significant. Even more significant, I realized that in the process of letting go,...
I can hardly believe we are at the end of September. This year has been a blur. That is what was going through my mind one morning as I awoke. Suddenly a profound thought burst into my mind. "Find the Joy." This past year has been challenging for many of...
I have not only heard it once but numerous times this month. “You are a product of your environment.” “You become like who you hang around.” Over and over again, I heard a statement to this effect. It is true. We do become like who we hang around. Years ago,...
Today I am going to write on a subject that keeps coming up this year – actually it has for a few years now. I am speaking of the REST OF GOD….ENTERING INTO HIS REST… Early in 2020, God gave me this scripture. But now the Lord my God has...
As I navigated the curve in the road, my gaze was drawn to a sight in the middle of the pavement. I promptly eased off the accelerator to give the deer the time and space it needed to decide on its next move. As he pondered his options, he contemplated...
As I recall, it was either late June or early July when this incident took place. I strolled slowly towards my mailbox, soaking in the warm summer air. Suddenly, a flash of color caught my attention, causing me to look down in curiosity. To my bewilderment, I discovered an enormous,...
The Bible uses the analogy of a ship's rudder to illustrate the power of the tongue. Just as a small rudder directs the course of a large ship, our words have the potential to guide and shape the direction of our lives and those around us. It is a powerful...
“It is during the darkest moments of our life that we must shift our focus to clearly see the light.” I thought of this one day as my daughter shared an insightful truth. My daughter deals with anxiety sometimes, particularly when driving over long bridges above deep waters. She has...
