Daniel

Daniel 6:4 “….They could find no corruption in him (Daniel), because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.” Pondering on this today………..Would my enemies be able to say this about me? Do I live a life so set apart to GOD that my relationship with Him is the only thing my enemies could find […]

The Big Picture

2 Kings 6:8-23 As I was praying one day I saw as it were a huge billboard. The picture on the billboard was moving like a movie in a theater. The picture was Christians living life. A little ways away from the picture was satan, hurling insults, throwing all he could to distract and discourage […]

Disappointment

Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 NLT We all have hopes and dreams, longings and plans. What do we do when those don’t turn out like we planned~ when tragedy strikes or our reality doesn’t line up with our dreams? Reality is that marriages […]

TRUTH

Truth, what exactly is that? Each day we hear a lot of words but how much of what we hear is Truth? We may even be adamant we want Truth but do we really? Pure truth is to see things from GOD’S perspective. Our view is flawed even at it’s best. Only GOD can show […]

We all are aware of the importance of our physical heart~ it is a vital organ and if it is sick our health declines. The heartbeat of our spiritual life is just as important. Our hearts need to be carefully cared for. Psalm 19:12 says, “How can I know all the sins lurking in my […]

Be Still

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 The analogy that came to me was of when we are are at a fireworks show we are still (standing or sitting) and watching for the bursts of lights to light […]

Seek Him

“Seek the LORD and live……..Seek good, not evil that you may live. Then the LORD GOD Almighty will be with you just as you say He is.” Amos 5:6, 14 It is when we seek the LORD that we find Life and really live because He is the Life (John 14:6). When we seek good […]
