When God Breaks His Promises

2344) Did my title for this “minute” surprise you? I can assure you I was not writing it as clickbait. How many times have we read a promise from God and wondered, is he really keeping his promises? How about Matthew 7:7–Ask and it will be given you? And you’ve asked and asked for a

Price Tags

2340) As I grow older, I find myself thinking and doing things I promised myself when I was younger that I would never do. One of them is to compare how much things cost when I first started out as an adult to the cost of things now. In those first years, I really didn’t

Companion

2338) My little dog, Cayce, loves to walk. All I have to do is get my walking shoes out, and he goes crazy. It’s so nice to have a companion when I’m walking. My last dog’s health made it impossible for him to walk with me nine years out of the 11 that I had

Hope

Hope 2336) I hope I get the job. I hope the report from the doctor is good. I hope for some peace and quiet. All these things are reasonable wants, and when I read Psalm 130:7 that I must hope in the Lord. For with the Lord is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful

Examples

2313) I had someone ask me if I feel “unworthy” to write about the spiritual life we should have in these minute devotions. They weren’t trying to insult me; instead, their sincere question was, do you have to be perfect in the areas of your spiritual life which you write about? It is a relief

Growth Can Be Hard to Measure

2294) When we see living things day by day, it’s easy to miss the growth within the package of living cells. As you know, it’s because growth can be very slow, and yet, it’s happening. 2 Peter 3:18 tells us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We

He Knows

2289) Because I was raised in the church and the Bible, I have spent a lot of time pondering things. For example, I can remember when I was small, wondering if God already knows everything, why pray? Or, can God make something so big, he can’t move it? I know the fundamental answers to these,

A Step Back

2288) When I look at verses like Proverbs 1:7, I sometimes think, this verse isn’t about me. Why? The verse says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Certainly, I have the “fear” or reverence for the Lord, but it is the second part of this verse
