Watch

646) I love to go for walks and where I live, I need to consider the fact that there are wild animals around. Very few of them can be dangerous, but one time on a walk, I encountered a black bear, eating blueberries. I remember it stood up and my heart skipped a few beats.

Be Prepared

645)  It is not unusual for a child to ask you why you do certain things. This is a part of learning, brain development and curiosity.  As the child ages, the questions will not be as frequent but are more situation-specific. 1 Peter 3:15 tells us that if we are living by the principles of

Satan Believes in God

644) Satan doesn’t need faith when it comes to believing in God. James 2:19 tells us that he and his demons know there is a God and they are afraid of Him. At the same time, this belief is only an acknowledgment; he does not seek God’s forgiveness and a relationship with him. If all

Say, “Thank you!”

643) I grew up in a time when most parents taught their children to say, “Thank you”. When we received a gift, we wrote our thanks to that person. Do we do this as adults? James 1:17 reminds us that anything that comes our way that is good is a gift from God. Sometimes these

Keep Looking

642) One of the hardest facts of life a person must deal with is that difficulties are a part of living. Some difficulties are harder than others. It’s easy for this fact to side-swipe us because when it does, we may say to ourselves, why me? Sooner or later, everyone will walk down the path

The Importance of a Semi-colon

641) I did not start out as an English teacher; I have learned a lot of grammar rules as I have taught. One of these many lessons involves the semi-colon. They are an underused punctuation in my opinion. You use semi-colons when you have two independent clauses that are virtually cause and effect. For example,

Where Are Your Eyes?

640) If you are running a race, looking back over your shoulder will slow you down, at the least, or cause you to fall and keep you from the finish line. So much of my time is looking backward; my history, my choices, and my memories. As I put one foot in front of the

The Difference Between Hope and Faith

639) Sometimes people confuse “hoping for” with “faith”. The thought is that I hope that God’s promises are true versus, I believe they are. If we think God’s promises are only hopefuls, making plans and life-decisions based on this foundation would be imprudent.  If we know that God keeps His word because we’ve seen Him

What Do You Harvest?

638) If you were a farmer and you planted seeds to grow wheat, what would you do if you grew thistles instead? You most likely will destroy them because you know two things. The thistles are useless to you and there is a good possibility that these weeds will reproduce and infect your other fields

Who Do You Turn To?

637) We are admonished to come to God boldly in Hebrews 4:16 but we can overlook the words that come next in our English translations but beforeit in the Greek. This word is, throne. The word, throne, represents power and authority. I picture a child turning to a friend and asking if he can go
