Doubt, Faith, Fear, Jesus Rest, Obedience, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, The Word, Trials and Tribulations, Walk The Walk

I got to thinking the other morning as I was studying Isaiah about the desperate situation Hezekiah found himself in and the direction he chose to follow. Look at these two verses and let’s see if there isn’t something in there for the bride of Christ. There is a lot here and I can only… Read more

In one of my books (embarrassing – I don’t remember which one) I used an example from the Old Testament to make a point about who we have been called to be in God’s Kingdom and what that represents. And as I was reading in Isaiah Sunday morning I was reminded once again about the… Read more

The other morning I was working on a research project and decided to take a break. I grabbed a glass of orange juice and went out on the patio. I had just plopped down on the chaise lounge and told the Lord that I just wanted to spend some time with Him and recharge my… Read more

Faith, God’s Will, Grace, Sanctification, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit, Trials and Tribulations, Walk The Walk

How often do we find ourselves in situations where we don’t understand what is happening? How many times do we fail to just trust the Lord that He has a plan and that everything is in His hands? For me, I have to admit that happens too often. I’m a planner and a doer and… Read more

Faith, Grace, Hearing God, Prayer, Sanctification, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Holy Spirit

The other mourning something I read in Isaiah brought forth an interesting picture in my mind. Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. When I think of God’s holiness my mind simply cannot grasp what it means, what… Read more
Where Do You Sing?

I saw this question in something I was reading last week in reference to a verse in Hosea. It gave me pause to think about where I have been singing and how often the place varies. It all came about when I read just four words that were attributed to the Israel’s condition as Hosea was bringing… Read more

There is a whole lot to ponder in that statement and the word “future” could keep us pondering for days. I may be dating myself again but back in 1970 Alvin Toffler wrote a book that captured the attention of at least 6 million people who bought the book… Future Shock. His message surrounded the premise… Read more

I was challenged by the Holy Spirit the other morning with a simple question… What Are You Asking For? I thought about it and focused on several things, but His response in my spirit was short and sweet… You are asking amiss! When He asked me that question my first thought was that familiar verse in Luke… Luke… Read more

A simple question, but the answer isn’t as simple as it sounds. A simple yes or no won’t work. Obadiah is the shortest book in the Bible but the prophet’s message is a powerful one, one that goes right to the heart of the issue facing us today… deliverance. In Obadiah’s day it was about deliverance… Read more

The Holy Spirit caught my attention this morning as I was reading a very familiar scripture; one that all of us know well but often pass over quickly. But as I read it my attention, as it has been for months, was focused not only on the “prophetic” message but on the people to whom… Read more
