“The Lord made me in the beginning, long before he did anything else. I was formed a long time ago, before the world was made. I was born before there was an ocean, before the springs began to flow.” The perfect set of verses for today! When I was 18 years old I...

Sometimes when I’m reading God’s word, I’m all into the story, and then all of a sudden there’s an imagery that is thrown in there that I was totally NOT expecting. That was the case when reading Mark 14:43-52. The story about when Jesus was arrested is taking...

I’ve often told God (yep, I told Him) what I wanted in a given situation. But after I had voiced my desire to Him, I also informed God that even though that is what I want, I completely want His will to be done. Have you ever been real with God and informed Him what...

I’m so physically getting Mark 14:32-42 right now. Did the time change for Daylight Savings time, or was spring break over and it was time to go back to work or school? Peter, James, and John had the simple task of staying in a specified location and keeping watch...

In Numbers 10 and 11 the Israelites were at it again. Whining and complaining was their middle name…God’s “Whining-complaining” People. Moses had had enough of being in charge of all those belligerent people. God took care of it. The Israelites had had enough manna...

Numbers 8:7, “This is what you should do to make them clean: Sprinkle the special water from the sin offeringon them. This water will make them clean. Then they must shave their bodies and wash their clothes. This will make their bodies clean.” For the Shuff...

“Love us, God, with all you’ve got— that’s what we’re depending on.” Psalm 33:22 God doesn’t know any different. He always loves us with all He’s got, which is everything! We may need to turn this statement around and tell ourselves to love God with all we’ve got....

I had to make sure I shared this verse with you. I know it helped me out when I truly needed reminding that in order for me to be forgiven, I must forgive. It is a verse that I still must keep in my heart and mind. Boy oh boy is it a freeing piece of scripture....
