God with you? Jehovah Shammah, one of the names of God that I include in my prayer almost everyday is only used once in the Bible. Ezekiel shares his prophetic dream of a city that God calls Jehovah Shammah which means “God is there.’ Easton’s Bible Encyclopedia says the city that Ezekiel saw is a […]
Power is a Big Deal! Sometimes we forget all the things we use that require power. Just let it go off for an hour, or even worse days, then you will remember very quickly how important power is. We are praying for the folks that just went through Hurricane Florence. It is estimated that 3 […]
Why would anyone wear a cross around their neck? I’m sure you know what happened on a cross! It once was a place where people were crucified; and it is a slow, agonizing, HORRIBLE way to die! How does a cross of gold or silver, even when it is bedazzled with scrolling or diamonds, make […]
Maybe is should seem obvious, but sometimes it’s not. That hope filled glow can be seen on children’s faces and in nature’s majestic artistry. Sometimes we see through eyes that are strained with drudgery, pain and struggles. It’s in those times that we need to be filled with hope. And it is in those times […]
Maybe you can think of a dozen reasons that fear shouldn’t hang out at your house, but I can tell you one great, big, huge, hairy reason it can’t stay at my house. Before I share this 1 reason you can’t let fear stay, let me tell you how I learned that lesson. I […]
It’s interesting, that’s a nice word for it, to take a walk with me. I’m sorta like the little boy in Bil Keane’s “Family Circus” comic strip. I have a hard time staying focused on one thing. Everything intrigues me! I’m child like, but not childish. That’s a nice way to put it, but sometimes, […]
It’s a fact, that has caused lots of accidents… your feet follow you! I know you’ve done it too! I’m not the only person that has veered out of my lane while driving, because I was looking at something on the side of the road. You simply follow your eyes!
I cannot begin to grasp the emotions that filled that space when Rachel uttered her last words. Another son…but one that she would never hold…never cradle in her arms…or kiss it’s sweet cheeks…so mustering her last ebb of strength she uttered the baby’s name Ben-oni. And it was true…he was the son of her sorrow. […]
“And without faith it is impossible to please God,” My mind seems to always stop there as if the comma were a period. It’s just that the thought of pleasing God is such a delightful thought! It is hard for me to imagine that MY faith actually pleases God…but, then there’s the alarming realization that […]
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 NLT It’s so easy to get this backwards. I find my default can be to trust my opinion, what I can see and understand. But rest and peace comes from trusting God!! That requires that I spend time […]
Never Alone. I’ve discovered if I walk with Him through beautiful places, I’m quicker to recognize and respond to His presence in difficult places.
