The Insignificant Is Significant

842) Through the years, I have realized that God loves to take the insignificant and make it significant. It might be in the tiny gift a child drops in the offering plate. It could be the elderly woman who spends much of her time praying or it could be those in every day “menial” jobs,

The World Does Not Revolve Around Me

840) It’s easy to think that without our presence, expertise, and contributions, the world would be in dire straits. On the one hand, God wants to use our lives and gifts for His purposes. Maybe God’s plan is for us to step back and support another who is doing a critical work for Him. John

Role Play

819) Whenever we ask God for direction, strength or guidance, we always have a role to play. This role might include being faithful or grateful. Yet Proverbs 21:31 makes it clear to us that even though there are battles God will win for us, he expects us to “ready our horses” for battle. Often, our

Faith is Not a Feeling

760) When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, they had the blessing of walking with God each day. They saw Him, they spoke to Him, and they, perhaps, laughed with Him. After they made the choice to disobey, all of this changed. Now when they heard Him, they hid. When they spoke

Who is Worthy?

757) When I read Psalm 15, I have been a little confused. In the first verse, David asks God who is worthy to live with Him? Then in the ones that follow, we read that those who are worthy of living with God are: blameless, righteous, speaks the truth, does not slander, treats his neighbor

Which Hand is It?

755) When I was a kid, my siblings and I would play a game we titled, “Which hand is it?” The one who was “it” took a small object, put his or her hands behind their back and moved the object back and forth between hands. Then, “it” would bring his or her hands to

Fruit Juice

751) When I lived in Florida many years ago, we had orange trees that grew in our backyard. I remember the first time I saw the mature oranges, and I was not impressed. They had mildew on them and they were anything but attractive and yet, when I picked one and peeled the skin off,

Give a Man Enough Rope . . .

745) We all have enemies. Some of these are family members, co-workers or even ourselves. Some of our enemies may also be in our churches. The question is, what should we do about them? Setting boundaries with these individuals is a good place to start and there are also times that God would lead us

Provision’s Packages

727) It’s easy to accept that God promises to take care of the needs of His children, but what can be harder is accepting the way God may choose to provide. Yes, we need shelter, but perhaps this means a house that has black countertops, no air conditioning in the deep South, not enough room

Satan Believes in God

644) Satan doesn’t need faith when it comes to believing in God. James 2:19 tells us that he and his demons know there is a God and they are afraid of Him. At the same time, this belief is only an acknowledgment; he does not seek God’s forgiveness and a relationship with him. If all
