We work as though everything depends on God– because it does! Not that we are sufficient of ourselves  to think of anything as being from ourselves,  but our sufficiency is from God.  2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV Scripture focus: 2 Corinthians … Continue reading →

The Christian life: always learning, always preparing, always growing, always going, always giving, always forgiving, always loving, always loved. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Philippians 4:13 NKJV

Our quiet times are best spent in the Word of God. Our other times are best spent thinking about what we read during our quiet times. And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;  For … Continue reading →

The Bible– read it, believe it, love it, live it. The law of his God is in his heart;  None of his steps shall slide.  Psalm 37:31 NKJV

Do you have a verse that best describes your relationship with God? Mine is Jeremiah 31:3, where God says: “I have loved you with an everlasting love;  therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.”  Even when we are unfaithful, … Continue reading →

If thinking of God doesn’t make you happy– think again. Happy are the people whose God is the Lord!  Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.  Delight yourself also in the Lord.  Psalm 144:15, Nehemiah … Continue reading →

May our goals always line up with God’s purpose in saving us: that we would glorify His name, and enjoy Him now and forever. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,  His own special people, that you may proclaim … Continue reading →

I think God sometimes takes things away (things we love, enjoy, look forward to, value) to encourage us to set our hearts and minds on the better things that can’t be taken away. Set your mind on things above, not … Continue reading →

Every thing we do to encourage someone in his walk with Christ will be remembered, rewarded, and rejoiced over in heaven. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?  Is it not even you in the presence … Continue reading →

Bob and I watched a television program yesterday about the millions of dollars being spent to mine gold– particles so minuscule they can’t be seen by the naked eye. The specks of gold are so valuable they pay for the … Continue reading →

A little dose each week of worldliness in the home and error in the church is enough poison to make us spiritually sick– even terminal. The Bible is the only proven antidote. For the word of God is living and … Continue reading →

God only leads us on right paths. Any sin, small or great, sends us traipsing off in the wrong direction, the exact opposite of where God would have us go. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s … Continue reading →

I don’t think I’ve ever sinned and been happy about it. The opposite is always the case. This is a gift from God. For whom the LORD loves He corrects,  Just as a father the son in whom he delights.  … Continue reading →

The love we have for our families, our children and grandchildren, is a small taste, an imperfect example, of God’s love for His children. That’s why we can pray: “Our Father in heaven.”  Scripture focus: Romans 8:12-17 Galatians 4:4-7

Meditating on just one Bible verse– will leave us hungry for more. How sweet are Your words to my taste,  sweeter than honey to my mouth!  Psalm 119:103 NIV

One Bible verse will never be enough– but it’s a great place to start. Your commands are always with me  and make me wiser than my enemies.  I have more insight than all my teachers,  for I meditate on Your … Continue reading →

If we loved God’s Word more, we would sin less. Because I love Your commands  more than gold, more than pure gold,  and because I consider all Your precepts right,  I hate every wrong path.  Your statutes are wonderful;  therefore I … Continue reading →

Live as close to heaven as possible. One thing I have desired of the LORD,  That will I seek:  That I may dwell in the house of the LORD  All the days of my life,  To behold the beauty of … Continue reading →

Sing so others can hear– especially when you’re at church (people at the grocery store will just think you’re weird). Be filled with the Spirit,  speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody … Continue reading →

Unbearable burdens expose our weakness, and give us a unique opportunity to experience God’s power. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you,  for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”  Therefore most gladly I will rather boast … Continue reading →
