Bittersweet…
“Awake, O north wind, And come, O south! Blow upon my garden that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits.” Song of Songs 4: 16 My devotion today was really great. I’m pretty sure you’ll think it’s great too, as I share...
“Father, Into Thy Hands I Commend My Spirit.”

Just Rest
What an awesome promise. We will find R-E-S-T. Did you know that rest is service? When our souls are at rest is when God tells us His secrets. In the quiet heart is where God does His most exquisite work... He renews and transforms us to be more like Christ. ...
Trust Until You Understand
One of my favorite verses... “Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.” Romans 4: 17 As followers of Christ, we walk by faith not by sight. Abraham was fully persuaded (Romans 4: 21) that God was totally...
In the Solitude…
“He took him aside, away from the crowd.” Mark 7: 33 “Why has God set me aside? All I want to do is to serve Him whole heartily, though I am forced to be physically separated from my brothers and sisters in body of Christ. All I seem to be ‘allowed’ to do...
How Can We Hear Him Above All the Noise?
When You said, "Seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, LORD, I will seek." Psalm 27:8 I truly do not intend to offend-only to warn. First thing I am going to say is what I believe to be truth. We are in a spiritual battle... Some may not...
Flying with God Above Your Circumstances
“But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” Isn’t it so true that all of us know someone who has learned to fly high with God above...

Childlike Faith?
“I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it." Mark 10: 15 I got serious about God at 33 years of age. My life experiences took me way past childhood innocence. So what did Jesus mean when He says you...

Decide Before You’re Tested
Today it was impressed upon me to read about David and how he spent so much time running from King Saul in fear of his life. After much reading and looking at Commentary notes, I had a “Duh” moment. This is what I think I should post about... It happened...
You Can't Carry Your Own Cross
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16: 24 Simon of Cyrene helped Jesus bear His cross. Jesus was too weak and too frail by himself. What makes you think you can...
Does Your Gratitude Spring Forth Before the Blessing?

The Distinction Between Peace WITH God and Peace OF God
The Bible says we are at peace with God when we accept Jesus’ atoning death on the cross for forgiveness of our sins. We are at peace with God when we accept Him into our hearts. So why do we tend to worry when things spin out of control? Sometimes we get...
Tomorrow’s Man…
TOMORROW’S MAN is none other than David. David was just a boy when Samuel anointed him as the next king of Israel. Take note of what the Bible says... “Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon...
Today's Man…
TODAY’S MAN is the prophet Samuel, simply because he obeyed God and didn’t go his own way. When he first arrived at Jesse’s house to anoint the new king, he naturally gravitated toward the young man who appeared the most king-like. He was searching for someone...
