Giving Thanks During our pre-service prayer this past Sunday, excerpts from Psalm 107 were read to those attending. There was such a sweet presence of the Holy Spirit in our midst, with instrumental worship music playing in the background. Psalms 107:1-2 – 1Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy Yes! God’s mercy endures forever! Let the redeemed of the Lord say so! We have…..
The Faith of a Child This morning I was driving our precious granddaughter to kindergarten. With excitement in her voice she said, “Hey Grandma, play ‘Let Me Tell You About My Jesus’.” I knew she wanted me to turn on the radio, but she specifically wanted to hear this song. This little one has already invited Jesus into her heart and loves to sing about Jesus. She is very inquisitive about Heaven and God, and loves to hear the stories…..
PEACE John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Have you ever gotten so overwhelmed that you throw up your hands and say, “I can’t handle anymore”? Maybe you just need to stop everything you are doing and find a quiet place to get alone with the Lord. For me, I sit by…..
What Are You Asking For? While reading a daily devotional I was challenged to ask myself this question. What am I asking God for? Besides my requests in daily prayers, am I asking Him for to further His kingdom through me? Sensing it is a time in my life to reevaluate, I do not want my mind to be clouded with the chaos of this world. I want to know the heart of God and His desire for my life……
What Is Your Battle? Galatians 6:2 – “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” We have heard it said “When it rains it pours”. Although our trials/tests/tribulation seem to come in waves, as Christians we know from where our help comes from. We are to lean into God and wait for His help, His comfort, His peace. In this season we are living in, there are multitudes being affected with troubles. Whether physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, or natural…..
Take Authority This morning as I sit in quietness before the Lord, my mind roams over all the prayer requests and needs of His people. As I realize there are many in the Kingdom of God that are hurting, I automatically understand it is due to the days we are living in. Satan is our enemy and knowing his time is short, is strategizing to prevent us from spending eternity with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He believes that…..
WHAT IF What if the world as we know it is coming to an end? What if this is your last day on this earth? What if the Bible is true? What if there really is a rapture? This generation has never seen such tumultuous times that we are presently living in. The one question laying heavily on my mind recently is: What if the Rapture is a reward and we do not have to partake in the…..
COVID-19 RELEASE The year is 2020 and we have encountered a pandemic referred to COVID-19. My generation has never experienced anything like this before and being in lockdown for two to three months has not been easy for anyone. During this pandemic, people were issued to stay in their homes as much as possible. Essential workers, such as medical personnel, were working overtime caring for those already infected while other essential workers were trying to buffer the onset of…..
A Father’s Love June is so fitting to discuss the love of a Father, the month set aside to honor all fathers. My earthly father was the epitome of God’s love and I remember him tenderly, leaving us with a legacy of love. Dad was a soft-spoken man with love and integrity that brought sincerity to the highest level. A niece said it best when she said, “Your Dad was so gentle, but underneath he was so strong.” The…..
What Is On God’s Heart? It amazes me to hear people say that reading the Word of God is boring to them. So, today I want to share with anyone that feels that way and challenge them to be open to what God is really saying to them personally. I am not one to open the Word of God on a regular basis to study time periods and review history. I usually find myself requesting God to speak to…..
