Mind Reader

862) In Matthew 9:1-8, the writer tells us something about Jesus that most of us know, but sometimes, because it’s so obvious, we don’t consider often. Verse 4 tells us that Jesus knew the thoughts of the people around Him. That little nugget of truth is important. If you are a half-empty type of thinker,

Satan Knows

861) There are several times in the Gospels that Jesus interacts with Satan (in the temptation) and demons. When I read these accounts, I always wonder why there seemed to be so many in Jesus’ day that were possessed. I also wonder if this is prevalent today and, if so, what does science or medicine

Do You Trust Me?

860) There are those who are insecure and constantly question whether their spouse, coworker, boss, or preacher (to name a few) are trustworthy. Because of this, perhaps we need to figure out when we consider them trustworthy. Usually this happens as the relationship between you strengthens. After all, it would be foolish to trust someone

Taking Someone’s Word for It

859) In my recently released novel, The Bottle House, the chaplain is speaking with an individual (Stefan) who has become angry with God because he didn’t feel that God was trustworthy. The chaplain makes a comment about how it used to be common to take someone at their word, but now, it’s almost foolish to

Worrier

858) I have always been a worrier. My husband will sometimes be frustrated with me (as he is not a worrier) and will say, “What good does it do?” He’s right, of course, but sometimes I have the ridiculous idea that the more I worry about something, the more it shows me dedication and/or commitment

Satisfaction

857) Having taught teenagers for so many years, I know for a fact that a sign of immaturity is when someone wants something and they want it now. For example, a car. Many teenaged boys dream of a car or truck they would like and they want it on the exact day they can drive

Privacy

856) So much of our lives are no longer private, thanks to the Internet and social media. You don’t even have to post regularly and your digital footprint is being recorded. I’m glad that I don’t know to what extent my life is not private because I think it would freak me out. In Matthew

Blessings

855) There are small things that happen in our lives that are huge. For example, I rarely go to a fast food or coffee shop drive-thru (mainly because where I live, there aren’t many). Recently, I went through one and the person before me paid for my coffee. I remember thinking, “Wow! That was so

The Example

854) In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus speaks about how to respond to our enemies. He tells us to love our enemies and pray for those that mistreat us. After all, Jesus said, it’s easy to be nice to those who are nice to us. The rub comes when we are told to love and pray for

Before not After

853) It’s easy these days to get someone angry at you and, if not angry, irritated. Grace is sometimes hard to find among people. Isn’t it funny that we can so quickly recognize the ill-treatment others give us and not see the ill-treatment we give to others? Matthew 5:23-24 instructs us that before we come
