Daily Walking with God
Join me.
It doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is, I hope that we all desire what is describe in Proverbs 11:14a, “A nation without wise leaders will fall.” I pray for the leaders in our towns, states, and country. I pray that they will seek the wisdom of The One...
Hurry up and wait.
“Hurry up!” “Let’s go!” “Come on!” “Now, now, now!” Have you heard these phrases? Have you said these words? One of the greatest verses tells us to do just the opposite. Psalm 46:10a famously reads, “Be still, and know that I am God!” Let’s turn the above phrase...
What are you filled with?
When I acquired the classroom I am currently in from a wonderful teacher who retired, the room space wasn’t all I acquired. I was given all the many years of “stuff” that was left behind. I slowly started cleaning out and getting rid of all the materials I didn’t...
He knows what you are thinking.
He knows what you are thinking, and I'm not talking about Santa. “Jesus knew their thoughts…” Luke 11:17a When I read Luke 11:17, I just stopped and thought. Yep. God does know our thoughts. He knows what we are going to say and do before we even do it. He gave...
Sit, Relax, and Listen
Tim and I just returned from a sweet retreat with friends at the beach. There is just something about time at the beach that just takes any worries away. Especially when I get to enjoy a sunset, with my toes in the sand, I just soak it all up and feel life’s...
"Let me at 'em"
When we are given a position that makes us feel like we have authority, we need to make sure we keep “in check” and stay humble. When I read Luke 9:55, I giggle. Jesus had given His disciples much authority, and it is clear that they were taking advantage of it. ...
Follow the Leader
For some people it is easy to be a follower. They may not necessarily be following someone or the right path that is best for them, but they are content with NOT leading. There are some of us who have no problem taking a leadership position, and may even have an...
A warm and cozy feeling
It’s your loved one’s birthday. You buy a gift and are excited to give it to them. Or maybe you give them a gift just because. Regardless of what day it is, you give it with a smile on your face. You give the gift with great delight. You give it to you special...
Stuck or Staying Where You are?
Have you ever wanted to go somewhere exciting, but you had to stay where you were? Maybe you live in a town that you are ready to get out of. You try to leave, but God has plans for you right where you are. Chances are you did leave, but God brought you back to your...
Which do you choose?
Choices, choices, choices. We all have them in life. We have a choice to get out of bed each day. Some days you may want to sleep in, but if you made that choice it would probably (will) affect others, such as your family, co-workers, friends, etc. Today I had a...
Grateful for godly discipline.
People who accept discipline are on the pathway to life, but those who ignore correction will go astray. Proverbs 10:17 I am grateful for the discipline I had in my life. I may not have appreciated it when I was getting a spanking or on some type of restriction, but...
"As is"
Have you ever gone to buy something and beside the price it says, “As is”? When I’ve seen those words I have one of two reactions. One is that the item is ready to be sold, so maybe I can get it for a good deal. There are some flaws, but I can make it work. I’m up...
