I See You

772) Sometimes when I read the Bible, I get confused. On the one hand, God says in Psalm 34:15 that His eyes are on the righteous. What confuses me is that I know God watches over everyone, even those who are not His. Is this a contradiction? No, I don’t think so. As a classroom

A Taste Test

771) My all-time favorite author is Jan Karon. Her Mitford novels not only delight me but also strengthen my faith. In one of her books, the local Episcopalian priest attends a town-wide carnival. There is a petting zoo and a little girl stands at the fence watching the animals longingly, but she’s too afraid to

A Cosmic Grandfather

770) Some people were raised to believe that God sits up in heaven, watching people and is poised to zap anyone who does something wrong. I know very few people would admit or acknowledge this, but in words and actions, this is the conclusion. A few others were raised to believe that God is like

Everyday Worship

769) Sometimes we get the idea that the only way we can worship God is in our churches, prayers, and other Christian gatherings. Yet, I want to suggest to you we can also worship God in the everyday tasks. I have a friend who has repeatedly told me he considers his piano playing as worship.

Don’t Be a Horse or Mule

There is great danger, though, if we do not learn to use our minds, grounded within the boundaries of God’s word, we can be easily led astray. We’ve had so many examples in history that testify to this danger. The Jonestown massacre, for one. David admonishes in Psalm 32:8-9 not to be like a horse

All By Myself

767) One of the heaviest burdens a person can carry is when he or she thinks they are all alone. Your heart is crushed, your stomach is queasy, you’re not sleeping well at night and when you sit in the silence, the pain is so strong; it feels like it’s eating you alive. David knew

The Edge of Despair

766) Eventually, most people have visited or will visit the pit of despair. Some succumb to it, living or rather, dying within this hole, seeing no way out. Others may be lifted from this pit, just in time, before irreversible actions sealed your fate. A few are saved directly and rejoice in having their feet

The Value of Peace

765) We are living in a time where peace is a rare thing. I even wonder if people around us believe it exists. If we could put peace up for auction, there would be a bidding war and only the wealthiest would have a shot at obtaining it. Why? Because peace cannot be manufactured. It

A Sheep Song

764) Sheep, like many other animals of their size, are vulnerable to predators. They cannot run as fast as a gazelle, so a natural enemy, wolves, coyotes and mountain lions, can successfully kill them for food. In Bible times, sheep were valuable. Their wool was used to make clothing, they were eaten and certain ones

Good Looking

763) There are several ways of seeing or looking. The obvious is seeing with my eyes. I arrive at the shore of the ocean and see the expanse of water and rushing waves. I can see with my ears. I listen for the sound of a train and see there is one nearby. I can
