Death or Life

2558) The world has changed so much since I was born. (I know, every generation can say this, as life is always changing.) When I was little and living in cities, I didn’t know anyone who had a gun. Now, many people own firearms. What’s interesting to me is that we all have had a

One Day

2557) I am such a visual person that I sometimes struggle to have a conversation with God. I so desire to see who I am talking to and take in his response by watching his nonverbal communication. Though I yearn for this, I still talk with him, by faith, and I am able to because

The Power of His Word

2556) If you read or watch much news about the world, you’d probably find that while things are different, things remain the same. There have always been politics and people vying for power. There’s a war going on somewhere and natural disasters occur frequently. Though wars have started, won or are perpetual hotbeds, it’s interesting

Degrees

2555) Adjustments are necessary when trying to navigate this life, and I’ve discovered that these adjustments are best when it’s a move by degrees instead of seeking huge leaps. Paul speaks of these degrees in 2 Corinthians 3:8. Here he tells us God can transform us from one degree of glory to another. These transformations

The Blessing of Peace

2554) There have been times in my life when there was anything but peace within. Living in this state is exhausting and can be overwhelming. No peace to be found. Some of these tumultuous times rise from a battle within my heart. The opponents are what I insist on versus letting God direct the outcome.

Daily Praise

2553) I love the outdoors. It may seem an unusual thing for me to say, because much of my work is done inside. I do love the beauty that surrounds me everywhere, especially outside. If I sat here and listed the things about the outdoors that I love, it would mean this “minute” devotion would

A Little Bit Can Be Dangerous

2552) Have you ever been shocked after hearing someone say something casually? Could this be because you only heard part of the message and not the whole? It’s an easy thing to do to make conclusions based on an inadequate amount of information. Hosea 4:6 tells us a lack of knowledge about God’s word can

Words, Words, Words

2551) I was reflecting on words this morning. Interestingly, it wasn’t directly connected to my writing. Instead, I was thinking of why words are so powerful. Words are a way to communicate to others what we’re interested in, what we value, and sometimes, even the value we place on other people. Proverbs 10:19 warns us

Which Gift?

2550) I can distinctly remember when I started realizing what I was good at. It was during high school. This knowledge came from trying different things, other’s comments and an inner passion. All of us are good at things; some of them are innate. Knowing what we’re good at gives an opportunity to fulfill the

Silent Fools

2549) If you wish to discover someone’s character, listen to what they say. The pattern of their speech shows what’s within. Proverbs 20:19 illuminates what one should say or not say. Even a fool appears wise when he keeps his mouth shut. Saying nothing is sometimes a better choice than continually talking.
