Experiencing God’s Presence Daily
Isaiah and David demonstrated a remarkable depth of understanding about God—an intimacy that often eludes us in our fast-paced, distraction-filled lives. Their declarations in Scripture, such as “God is ________,” were not merely words but heartfelt affirmations born out of daily encounters with God. They understood God as their strength, salvation, song, and provider, depending…

The Lazarus Twist
John 11 tells the story of Lazarus. Before I dive in, allow me to ask you some questions. Have you a dream? Did you have a dream you stopped dreaming, so you let it die? Did you get tired of waiting for it to happen? Did you pray? Did you continue to pray? Lazarus was…
Lumpy Rug
I have an area rug on my hardwood floor that appeared to have a few lumps under it. Come to find out it had a few things that had been hidden under there. Sweeping things under a rug can be a literal thing or a figurative thing. Luke 12:2-3 “Nothing is covered up that will…
A Love Letter?
I thought I would write a love letter today. It is not the romantic kind, but a God kind. You see, lately I have been a little absent. I checked out on writing, only writing a few posts or blogs every couple of months. I want to tell you about how faithful God is even…

When you think of grace, what comes to mind? Blessing? Or something else? From a Biblical point of view, grace is the love and mercy given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not necessarily because of anything we have done to earn it. It if a free gift from God.…
Too Soon — Too Raw
Have you been dealt a hand that you never thought you would have? Life is not easy sometimes. Choices we make affect others as well as ourselves. The ripple effect of a choice can be like a stone thrown in a lake, watch those ripples extend. The impact is immediate, big splash. It is a…
Breath of Heaven
Amy Grant released a Christmas CD in 1992 that contained the song “Breath of Heaven (Mary’s Song). I played it over and over for weeks. There is just something about the song that affects me. This morning as I was sitting reflecting on God, this song came to mind. The Chorus is a prayer for…
