Give Me Some Peace

563)  We are living in a time where chaos and confusion abounds. Watching the news can be overwhelming to our senses. It’s truly a blessing that God is the God of peace. Go to Him when you feel overwhelmed. Be at peace.  1 Corinthians 14:33

I’ll Sit with You

562) One of the best gifts you can give another is to just ‘sit with them’ in their difficulties and grief. We often cannot make it better so ‘sitting with them’ can be just what that person needs. In Psalm 34:18 God tells us He will always ‘sit with us’ in our difficulties. You are

The Hour of Need

561) Have you ever felt that you lacked something you desperately needed? Ask God to provide it. He illustrates this in the story of the widow in I Kings 17. In her neediest moment, God provided continual flour and oil. Since God is the same yesterday, today and forever, trust Him to provide what you

Spiritual Court Judges

560) Our Supreme Court has a serious job. They must listen to all the facts with discernment and then, dole out a sentence if necessary. These judges have immersed themselves in the law, many for decades, and yet, I feel I am qualified to judge and sentence myself continually. James 2:13 tells me that mercy

Role Model

562) Children generally pick-up behaviors that are modeled for them. For example, if they continually witness strife, they learn to relate that way.  1 John 4:19 tells us God’s children should love because He has modeled it for us. If we don’t love, could it be because we haven’t spent enough time with God so

Love’s Reflection

561) The old saying, “Actions speak louder than words,” is one of those that ring in truth continually. If we make the choice to be selfish, we are not reflecting God.  1 John 4:8 says it’s easy to tell who truly is committed to God. Do we demonstrate love when we need to apologize for

You Are Not an Orphan

560) Have you ever felt alone and forgotten? It’s an understandable emotion but God’s children must recognize that that’s all it is: an emotion. Why? Because as God’s children, He adopted us. He never abandons His children no matter what we feel. John 14:18

If . . . Then

559)  I have struggled my whole life with feeling rejected. It seemed that in many places and settings, I didn’t quite fit in. Yes, some of these have abated as I matured but the sting of my perception is still present. If Jesus, Who is flawless, was rejected by his own people, then I ought

The Combat Zone of Grace

558)  2 Corinthians 12:9 tells us that God’s grace is sufficient. Reading that, I think: OK. Got that! What I had not done is look up the Greek word used here for sufficient. It means to defend or ward off. What I understand this to mean is that if I live under God’s grace, this

Can’t Anyone Understand Me?

557) There are always buzz words that come and go. Lately, the words, “I just want to be heard” really means, I want to be understood. Finding people who understand a specific situation can be calming and even, healing.  Isaiah 40:28 tells us that God understands everything about me. How calming and healing this truly
