The Value of Conscience

1917) As I have mentioned many times in these minute devotions, I am too hard on myself, but I have learned this is different from having my conscience pricked. I can spend my entire drive home from school thinking of what I screwed up, but if I have said something to someone I shouldn’t have,

Abilities

1916) When I taught middle and high school kids, I’d often have people say, I don’t know how you do that. Well, I say the same thing to kindergarten teachers. Pairing the gifts and abilities of educators to the right age is important.    God does the same thing when giving out gifts or abilities

A No is as Important as a Yes

1915) If you are a dedicated follower of Christ, the Christian faith is not an easy walk. Continually feeding your faith, making decisions which are saturated with prayer and walking the narrow path, even when bathed in grace, is hard.   One of the struggles I have with my prayer life is learning that a

The Unjust Judge

1914) If you were raised in the church, you may have been taught that you have an important role of being a judge. What do I mean? You may have been taught that keeping a tight rein on your moral actions is of utmost importance as a child of God. That every moment of the

Fast versus Slow

1913) For today’s minute, I’d like to look at a familiar verse, James 1:19. Here James instructs us to be fast in listening, and slow to speak and being angry. If I take a moment and consider these, I see there’s more to it than listening and not doing the other two.   I have

Supplements

1912) If you’ve ever gone to the vitamin and supplement aisle in a store, it can be overwhelming. There are so many bottles with labels to read and I’ve wondered how many of these things are truly helpful. I’m also astonished at how expensive many are.   I can think of one supplement which is

What We Make Time For

1911) I’ve read in multiple places that we make time to do the things we want to do. It may not be as much time as we’d like, but still, if we want to do something, there is time.   One thing many don’t need to make time for and that’s mentioned in Isaiah 2:4.

Remembering

1910) Remembering at my age is a mental maze. I find myself entering a specific path, but as I walk, I sometimes don’t remember where I was two minutes ago, not to mention where I need to be going.   Because remembering gets more difficult as we age, John 14:26 becomes even more important. It

Best in Disaster

1909) Verses like Proverbs 1:3 left me questioning a truth from God at one time. It tells us we will dwell secure and at ease if we listen to God’s words. It says if we do these things; we do not need to dread disaster.   What left me questioning is, how can I not

Give Me Peace

1908) When I read verses like John 14:27, I often have an internal conflict if I take the time to meditate on it. The verse says, (NLT) “I am leaving you with a gift — peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be
