The Quilt
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

The Planetarium
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

What Are You Asking For?
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!

The picture that flashed across my mind was at once both related to me personally and corporately to… Read more

No Satisfaction
Back in 1965 the Rolling Stones recorded a number one hit that delivered a profound message, but it wasn’t necessarily the one they intended. I got to thinking about that this morning as I was reading Psalm 17 and I thought how true the words of that song were when we put them in perspective of… Read more

God Is Able… Are We?
Just a short thought to consider. God’s Word tells us clearly and plainly that He is more than able to “keep us.” Consider the words of Jude as just one example: Jude 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with… Read more
