Another Warning… in Proverbs 7

As soon as I opened my Bible to Proverbs 7, I discovered that God is repeating Himself again…that means He’s raising a red flag, and those who have ears should listen. I am going to write most of this proverb here, and then going to write what my Commentary says…...

Yes...“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your path.” Proverbs 3: 5-6 This was one of the few first scriptures I memorized when I became a Christian. It seems to sum things...

Wisdom (Cont.)…

We are still on Proverbs 1. Starting with verse 20, we read about wisdom and how it is calling out to us. This is actually not an audible voice calling out… it is the mind of God. Isn’t Jesus the Word made flesh—the Living Word? We can see wisdom lived out in Christ’s...

Be Encouraged…

Today I asked the Lord what He wanted me to post today. I didn’t feel a definite “say this” or “say that”, but today I think someone may need to hear a simple truth…“God never asks us to suffer for the sake of suffering. He never asks us to give up something good...

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...

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...
