Proverbs 28 Continued…

A sinner’s conscience will drive him into either guilt, resulting in repentance, or to death itself because of a refusal to repent. It is no act of kindness to try to make him feel better; the more guilt he feels, the more likely he is to turn to God and repent. If we...

Starting Proverbs 28…

“When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.” Proverbs 28:2I realize government/politics can create soapboxes people can be on for a long time. Regardless of political views, we as...

Nahum – God Judges…

In a “Good Morning” email devotion I get every day, we were challenged to read the book of Nahum – it’s only 3 chapters…but such powerful chapters! Here’s a brief recap: The prophet Nahum lived about a hundred years after Jonah. Remember Jonah? He was a prophet to the...

Finishing Proverb 27…

“As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27: 17 “Iron sharpens iron”… It’s an undisputable fact that you begin to act and show the same character traits as the people you hang around with. Mental sharpness comes from being...

The Point of No Return…

God, what do you want today’s post to be about? Should I continue with Proverbs? You know very well that I’m sunk without You. What should I try to communicate to readers? That was my prayer today… THE POINT OF NO RETURN. A few hours went by. I couldn’t get it out of...

Tried in the fire…

We will definitely continue with the Proverbs, but first let me share a little story with you about this scripture verse…   “O you afflicted one, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations...

Starting Proverb 25…

Reading the NLT Commentary, I found this to be very interesting; something I never took notice to before when reading these words, but Jesus made this proverb a parable. Now I can put two and two together… “Don’t demand an audience with the king or push for a place...

Patience and Waiting…?

I waited patiently for the Lord. (Psalm 40: 1) Be patient… Patience is a virtue...Patience, Patience, Patience! Having patience is really difficult! Isn’t being patient (waiting on God) much harder than walking out in our faith? It seems that some of us have been...

Finishing up Proverb 24…

“An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship.” Proverbs 24:26 (NLT) “He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.” Proverbs 24:26(NKJV) We often think that we’re protecting friends or loved ones when we leave out certain details, or we may bend the truth to avoid...

A Little Proverb…and Some Psalm

The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked. Proverbs 24:16 What comfort these verses give, especially when we’re in the face of adversity! I know for myself that many times I wanted to give up because...

Sovereignty In Raindrops…

As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's cross to the other side of the lake."  Mark 4:35   Today I want to share with you something I read about the above verse that really sticks with me.  Jesus told His disciples to get into their boat and cross to...

Speak to My People who are Yet to be My People

Something God had recently put on my heart is to “speak to My People who are yet to be My People.” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  John 14:6 Jesus is the only way, my friends, and He’s looking...

Pity Plus Action

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Matthew 5: 7 The fifth beatitude is all about true love and true compassion. True mercy is something so uncommon in our society. In this beatitude, Jesus is describing mercy as a quality of citizens of the...

The Fight is So, So Worth It!

  “If you are suffering according to God’s will, keep on doing what is right and trust yourself to the One who made you, for He will never fail you.”   1 Peter 4:19   Trouble never comes to any of us unless it brings rubies of wisdom or nuggets of gold in its...

Hath God Said?

 “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.  And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”  Genesis 3:1   The way it usually works with Satan is that he tries to make...

Spend Your Time…

“But don't be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval."John 6:27   These were words that hit me...

Songs Speaking From the Past…

Wow.  Are you ready for this?  "God, Help Me to See You in the Ordinary Things " is a post I was planning on writing a few days ago, but I got sidetracked and it was put on hold for me to finish later.  Traveling about yesterday,  I saw something that took me back to...

Knowing Gods Deep Secrets

A while ago I heard a statement that really made me think.  In fact, it helped me in my prayer life... You ask God about something, and when He answers you question whether or not it was Him.  Why don’t you believe Him?  Jesus tells us that the Holy Spirit will come...

Before and After My Encounter With Christ…

My internet connection was down all day.  It gave me a chance to make some new graphics, which I'm still working on - so check my "free graphic" page this weekend.  I also made this new photo, which I'm pretty excited about!  I think it really speaks volumes of the...

Please “get it!” It’s yours for the taking.

Each of us have the fingerprints of our Creator written all over us beginning in the womb.  I love hearing how we come to see and respond to those fingerprints!  A  miracle happens! Here is a message I want to share from my friend Sharon, who sends out a daily email...

Its Truths Never Change

“When I discovered your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God of Heaven's Armies.”  Jeremiah 15:16   How true these words are to me!  Nothing has ever taken hold of me like Jesus Christ (You have enclosed me...
