He Knows

2289) Because I was raised in the church and the Bible, I have spent a lot of time pondering things. For example, I can remember when I was small, wondering if God already knows everything, why pray? Or, can God make something so big, he can’t move it? I know the fundamental answers to these,

A Step Back

2288) When I look at verses like Proverbs 1:7, I sometimes think, this verse isn’t about me. Why? The verse says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Certainly, I have the “fear” or reverence for the Lord, but it is the second part of this verse

Groundwork

2287) “Hacks” are trendy right now. They seek to make things easier and even more efficient. I have found several hacks that I have incorporated. However, many things in this life should be done from the bottom up. In other words, the groundwork must be done for the goal to be successful and of lasting

Who Are You Serving?

2286) I confess, I really hate it when someone is angry or upset with me. I know this isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it gives me the opportunity to make things right. However, 1 Corinthians 7:23 tells me I was bought with a price (that was Jesus’ paying here); do not become bondservants of

A Clean Slate

2285) Reading my Bible is a continual reminder that God is not like us. Yes, we are created in his image, but God is far beyond anything we’ll ever be. (Isn’t that good news!) Psalm 103:12 tells us God has removed our transgressions from us as far as the east is from the west. When

Access

2284) In the last handful of years, I have paid close attention to the laws of the Old Testament. There are 613 of them. As I read through them, I marvel. The people of the Old Testament had so many laws they had to keep regularly. These included how to sacrifice, and the holy days

Hearing Ears

2283) When I was in college, I had a roommate who was from Japan. I was amazed at her comprehension of the English language but even with this, she sometimes struggled with understanding. Why? Because English is a language that has many figures of speech. So many things we say can’t be taken literally. The

A Way Out

2282) There have been a few times in my life when I was in a situation where I could not see any way out. I felt scared, hopeless, trapped and more. Some of my situations spanned years. Now that I am in my 60s, I nod my head reading Exodus 19:4. Here it says, You

Me and Only Me

2281) It’s real easy to watch the news or look at others and decide if what they are saying or doing are right, but Romans 14:12 tells us to look elsewhere. Paul tells us here that one day, we will give an account to God about ourselves. Me and only me. It might be a

Fighting Evil

2309) Evil is everywhere. It’s in our public figures, school shooters, and road-raged drivers. It’s easy to identify because evil just wants to destroy. This destruction certainly includes our physical lives, but it’s more deadly when it hides in words, minds and actions. When we are faced with evil, it might feel as if there’s
