I Was Blind But Now I See!
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” (John 9:3 NIV) The blind man in John 9 lived with a label all his life until Jesus came along, that is. Since his birth, he was known for his disability.ContinueContinue reading “I Was Blind But Now I See!”
Look Up to God
“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” (2 Chronicles 20:12 NIV) A vast army was coming to make war with King Jehoshaphat of Judah.

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus, It’s All About Him
Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor,ContinueContinue reading “Keep Your Eyes on Jesus, It’s All About Him”
Fix Your Eyes on Jesus
We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. (Hebrews 12:2 CEV) New drivers are taught that wherever their eyes look the car will follow too. I’ve found this to be very true of the Christian life as well. If we want to steer in the right direction, towardsContinueContinue reading “Fix Your Eyes on Jesus”

Spiritual Discernment
In Jerusalem during Passover many people put their faith in Jesus, because they saw him work miracles. But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew. (John 2:23-25 CEV) I just love theContinueContinue reading “Spiritual Discernment”
Successful Battles
Whenever the ark set out, Moses said,“Rise up, LORD!May your enemies be scattered;may your foes flee before you. ”Whenever it came to rest, he said,“Return, LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel. ” (Numbers 10:35-36 NIV) We’d all be wise to pray Moses’ prayer each day. Unaware of what our Enemy, the Devil, and hisContinueContinue reading “Successful Battles”
Remember Your Victories
Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take myContinueContinue reading “Remember Your Victories”
Rising with the Son
We are more than conquerors through [Christ] who loved us. (Romans 8:37 NIV) It’s been eight years since I launched my personal blog on Facebook. At first, Rising with the Son sounded like a catchy title for a Christian book I intended to publish. I still remember brainstorming a bunch of titles with my bestContinueContinue reading “Rising with the Son”
