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

Money Problems

2280) My young scholars have no idea how money “works” in life. They see it as something to have to buy what they want. No other thought is attached to it usually. The other day, I asked one of my students if she had a credit card, how would she use it? She didn’t hesitate;

Deathbed Promises

Deathbed Promises 2279) I have heard of many people who are lying on their deathbeds who decide to acknowledge Christ and give their hearts to him. It’s easy to judge situations like this. Well, he/she realized they were at their end, so now they commit to him. It really doesn’t matter what our opinion is

Make Way

2278) I love it when I’m reading a familiar verse and the Holy Spirit shows me something I hadn’t noticed before. In this case, it’s the verse Isaiah 43:19. Here, Isaiah tells us in his prophetic way to see (God) is doing a new thing…. (God) is making a way in the wilderness.” As I

Right Here

2277) There have been times when I’ve had to say or do difficult things, and the only way I could successfully do them is to have someone with me, just to be there for support. When someone was with me, it made it possible to have the courage to say or do the difficult things.

Guarding Protects Everyone

2276) When I was in England, I saw the royal palace guards. Their fluffy black hats and red uniforms make it hard to ignore they are there. These guards not only protect royalty, they also protect outsiders because these guards greatly discourage violence in the perimeter. I think of this when I read Psalm 141:3-4.

Helper

2275) Help me! I need help! I hear both of these statements regularly in my classroom. I’m always glad to help, but some of the time, my young scholars want me to solve the problem, whatever it is and not them. Psalm 46:1 tells us God is a very present help in trouble. The Hebrew

Wherever

2274) I have learned through the years that using specific adverbs in reference to specific events or people is not helpful. You always do that. It never happens to me. In using these types of statements, we are often exaggerating. Good communication would be served better if we said, You do things like this regularly.
