When Hopes Sift Like Sand Through the Fingers

by | June 25, 2015 | Hope | 0 Comments

It happens and it hurts.  We all have enemies we can count on to disappoint us each time.  We learn over a period of time to not trust them.  After a while we just expect it and it no longer hurts.  What about our friends? A friend or ally is the only person who can...

by | June 26, 2015 | Salvation | 0 Comments

There are many examples in the Bible that refer to Christ as our solid rock.  On this earth there are rocks all around and they are not easily destroyed.  In the United States there is an entire mountain made of stone.  It has been there for hundreds of years and no...

Lord, I’m Moving In

by | June 26, 2015 | Salvation | 0 Comments

Here I am and I want to stay.  Thank you that You never turn me away.  All I bring with me is a suitcase full of things I no longer need.  I am unpacking my jealousy because You want me to be my best and not my neighbor’s rival of their best.  I am unpacking my mind’s...

When a child runs fast to reach home plate for that extra run the parents and crowd cheer.  The outfielders drop the ball giving extra time to get that run.  He reaches home plate and it is an obvious score.  He is safe.  Then the umpire yells, "out." Most people...

There are many examples in the Bible that refer to Christ as our solid rock.  On this earth there are rocks all around and they are not easily destroyed.  In the United States there is an entire mountain made of stone.  It has been there for hundreds of years and no damage is ever done.  It withstands harsh winters with snow and sleet and hot summers with heat.  People visit that mountain every day and walk to the top.  People stomp with their feet, cast small stones, kick, climb, run and even...

Here I am and I want to stay.  Thank you that You never turn me away.  All I bring with me is a suitcase full of things I no longer need.  I am unpacking my jealousy because You want me to be my best and not my neighbor’s rival of their best.  I am unpacking my mind’s lack of belief.  Lord, I believe with all my heart but my mind sees and tells me the opposite of what You do.  I really don’t need this in my suitcase anymore.  I am also unpacking my demands to have my own way because I mess it...

God Greatly Rewards Obedience

by | June 28, 2015 | Salvation | 0 Comments

Sometimes obedience means standing alone against what is popular. Losing a job, position in a group or friends is sad but once God fixes everything up, the respect from these same people is priceless. God knows exactly the right timing and circumstance to bring about His answers where we know only God could have arranged something so beautiful. Hebrews 5:7-9 While Jesus was here on earth, He offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the One Who could rescue Him from death....

No matter what the circumstances there is assurance HE is Lord in all things. We can always rest in him. Habakkuk 3:18-19 yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.

A Not So Joyful Noise

by | Mar 3, 2020 |

Has it ever been where you just want to be still and listen out for the silent voice of God.  Something major has just happened in your life and you want to find peace.  You may have just lost a parent or child.  You may have just gotten news from the doctor that the ailment...

Alone With God

by | Jan 12, 2020 |

Sometimes our minds can be filled with such turmoil we wonder if stillness can ever happen to us.  Even Jesus escaped from the multitudes from time to time just to be still and know God.  Stillness and meditation on the love of God is where we regain strength.  Yes, there are...

Being Accused And Used

by | Nov 27, 2019 |

Have you ever been in a situation where you are left holding the bag?  You do all the work while others are always on break.  You stay late while the rest go home early.  You have no recourse while other people always have a recourse against you.  You have...
