Have you ever been in a place of discouragement? I know I have. Maybe you’re in a place that you feel like there’s no hope. No hope for that marriage, no hope for my kids, no hope that reconciliation can come, just no hope. The Bible tells us there is hope in the Lord, “Put […]
Getting back to the “old ways”
I’m reading and studying in the book of Jeremiah today. I’m reading about how the people had turned from God, they were worshiping idols, living their lives however they wanted. It said they went to the temple as they were supposed to but as soon as they left it was right back to living their […]
Created for a purpose
I’ve been studying women of the Bible lately. Esther, Ruth and now Deborah, each have a resounding theme. God has a purpose for each of us. We see in Esther that her actions and decisions led to generations of people being saved. If she had stayed quiet, let her fear get the best of her, […]
Home.Sweet.Home
Home sweet home. There’s no place like home. Our homes are where memories are made, our kids learn about love, discipline, sharing, caring, life lessons and hopefully about God. The foundation of their faith begins inside the home. What if we raised kids with a strong foundation, deep roots planted in Christ? I believe a […]
Prayer…Faith…Believe
Reading about Jesus healing a demon possessed boy in Mark 9 this morning. Jesus had come down the mountain and found commotion going on. They took the demon possessed boy to him, the disciples had been unable to cast the demon out. At the sight of Jesus the demon began fighting and threw the boy […]
Reading about Zacchaeus this morning. I can remember the song, he climbed up in that sycamore tree to see what he could see. He wanted to see Jesus. Even though the story says he was a tax collector, a notorious sinner, he knew there was something good about Jesus. To what lengths do we go […]
My FIRST devotion
With it being the first of the year I’m trying to take time and look at my priorities and life and ask myself, “Am I striving to live a God first life?” Many years ago the Lord impressed on my heart Matthew 6:33. Seek first, so I look, am I seeking God first? Am I […]
A story of Faithfulness, Love, Loyalty & Commitment to God & Family
I hope you have read the book of Ruth. If not take the time and read this short book. There are so many lessons in this small book but I want to share with you one of the lessons I learned. First, I want us to look at the setting of this book. It says […]
Reading the Christmas story this morning. I can’t stop thinking about Mary. I can’t imagine what she felt. I’m amazed at the commitment she made as a young girl. What a task she had. What would we have done if we were in Mary’s shoes? I’m afraid to answer that. It got me thinking, am […]
You are called
This is my last Esther post but I wanted to put the finishing touches on what the Lord taught me through studying Esther again. Let’s just start with what we know Esther shows us. God called Esther for a purpose and God has called each us for a purpose. He has created each of us […]
