Fear Not

2332) As we look toward a new year, sometimes fear has a way of creeping in. Who will leave me? Who will die? What hurts will be chiseled into my soul? Fear is an emotion that has a way of barging into our lives like a jolt of lightning. We don’t have much control over

Save and then Hear

2331) Having a classroom of only male young scholars, it’s interesting to focus on the difference between this class and one that holds only females. Though many days I think it’s a tossup, but on average, males speak about 7,000 words a day while females speak around 21,000 words. Even if these numbers miss the

A Moving Prayer

2330) Growing up in church has many advantages. It also brings back some interesting memories. I can remember when the pastor would offer his morning prayer; it seemed to me like it lasted forever, when it reality; it was only a few minutes. One of the most moving prayers is found in Numbers 6:24-26. It

Well Done

2329) The words we speak will often be taken seriously depending on the integrity you may or may not hold. For example, hearing “well done” from someone who is addicted to drugs will have a different impact than hearing it from someone who has earned your respect. If you take this thinking further, it’s possible

Pushed

2328) My young scholars love to play tag during recess and as a teacher on duty, I have to watch over them continually because many of them, in their eagerness to win, will push other kids right over instead of the gentle, tag–you’re it. Kids aren’t the only ones who push or get pushed. Psalm

A Type of Fishing

2327) My experience with fishing isn’t much. I did some in my childhood and then some since we moved to Maine. I do enjoy it, but it reminds me of an evening, perhaps 20 years ago, when my husband and I drifted in a boat on Grand Lake Stream. That evening, the conditions for fishing

Strength, Help, Support

2325) When I was a child, I struggled to understand what faith is. After all, it’s not something “concrete” or anything I can see and hold. As an adult, I understand better that just because I don’t see something with my eyes, doesn’t mean it isn’t there or happening. For example, Isaiah 41:10 tells me

Heavy Burdens

2324) I knew someone once who was wronged by another. All of us in this person’s world knew about it and were sympathetic toward them. As the days and months passed, this person could not let this wrong go. They became consumed with it. It made me wonder if this person had any clue about

A Holy Strength

2323) When illness, injuries and age descend on our bodies, we can ache in multiple ways. It’s funny how you may not even know to rejoice when your body is working properly, but when it’s not….. Asaph, David’s chief musician, wrote in Psalm 73:26 that our flesh and hearts may (and will) fail, but God
