There is a verse in Jeremiah that has always confused me, but I have never taken the time to work through it… Jer 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me,… Read more

Obedience, Sanctification, Spiritual Maturity, The Bride, The Word, Walk The Walk

I made a note in my Bible of a comment someone said a long time ago that has always stuck with me…You can’t change your heart but you can change your mind. God won’t change your mind but He can change your heart. That statement has continued to roll around every time I start thinking about… Read more

What do we think of when we hear the words “quiet and peaceable?” I picture quiet mountain meadow, a log fire in a remote cabin or a night laying under the stars. I’m sure that word brings up something different for each of us. But for Paul, it meant something far more meaningful in his… Read more

When we are tempted in our circumstances we are faced with a choice. We can side with the world and the flesh or we can side with Jesus. I have always gotten that and clearly understand in every temptation the distinction between the choices. But I read something by Oswald Chambers one morning that really put… Read more

Do you ever find your self succumbing to fear? I have, more times than I really want to count. And it’s in those times when I can do nothing less than what God expects me to do… remember who I am and whose I am. But I don’t always do that and my confidence falls… Read more

I have always understood this verse, as have many others, as a promise: Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. NKJV But the other day I, as is usually the case, read this verse in the KJV: Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Other versions like… Read more

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” I have always read that verse with great trepidation… as well… Read more

As I sat there bemoaning the long wait and my growing anger at the delay I closed my eyes to try to make the long line in front of me disappear. I don’t remember what I was thinking about but it was interrupted by that still small voice in my heart… Tell him that I love… Read more

I have been trying to work through some difficult issues over the past few weeks and as I have reached out to the Lord, the Holy Spirit keeps taking me back to Jesus in the garden. He has shown me a great deal about Jesus and how He walked out that devastating moment in His… Read more

I read a short piece a while back by my favorite daily encourager, Oswald Chambers, He addressed our challenge with self-interest and how living by faith often sets the issue of waiving our rights center stage. Let me share the challenge that the Holy Spirit set in front of me after I digested his thoughts.… Read more
