One day the LORD said to Moses, “Climb one of the mountains east of the river, and look out over the land I have given the people of Israel. After you have seen it, you will die like your brother, Aaron, for you both rebelled against my instructions in the wilderness of Zin. When theContinueContinue reading “Don’t Miss Out”

When God’s “No” is as Good as His “Yes”
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.” (2 Kings 20:1 NIV) In a singing contest where kidsContinueContinue reading “When God’s “No” is as Good as His “Yes””
Will You Go?
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8 NIV) Prior to this Isaiah had cried, “Woe to me!”… “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among aContinueContinue reading “Will You Go?”
A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…He has made everything beautiful in its time. (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 NIV) Many people aren’t happy with how their lives are going because they aren’t in tune with God’s timing. They often try to run ahead of His schedule. I loveContinueContinue reading “A Time for Everything”
Laugh Along with Him
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. (Psalm 2:4 NIV) The more we get to know God, the more we will begin to understand His ways and assume His character. When the devil comes along and attempts to threaten our wellbeing and peace, we can do what God does and “laugh,”ContinueContinue reading “Laugh Along with Him”
We’re His Masterpiece
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous–how well I know it. (Psalm 139:14 NLT) Today I can say this verse with confidence, but for years, the Enemy used to make me believe otherwise. Like many people, I wasn’t happy with my body image. I paid more attention to what peopleContinueContinue reading “We’re His Masterpiece”
It’s Just a Dress
“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher. “Vanity of vanities! All [that is done without God’s guidance] is vanity [futile, meaningless—a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes, merely chasing the wind].” (Ecclesiastes 1:2 AMP) I heard a story about a customer who had gone to a store to pick up a dress. Apparently, something didn’tContinueContinue reading “It’s Just a Dress”
He is Touched by Your Faith!
While people were crowding and pressing against Him, Jesus stopped and asked the question, “Who touched me?” (Luke 8:45). Then Peter jumped in with his two cents, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you” (v.45). But Jesus wasn’t referring to just any touch, so He explained, “Someone touched me; I know that powerContinueContinue reading “He is Touched by Your Faith!”
Be Still
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10 NIV) Other versions put it this way: “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God.” (GW) “Cease striving and know that I am God.” (NASB) Being still means to come to Him, let go of whatever it isContinueContinue reading “Be Still”
No Empty Words
“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all IContinueContinue reading “No Empty Words”
