Where Are Your Eyes?

640) If you are running a race, looking back over your shoulder will slow you down, at the least, or cause you to fall and keep you from the finish line. So much of my time is looking backward; my history, my choices, and my memories. As I put one foot in front of the

The Difference Between Hope and Faith

639) Sometimes people confuse “hoping for” with “faith”. The thought is that I hope that God’s promises are true versus, I believe they are. If we think God’s promises are only hopefuls, making plans and life-decisions based on this foundation would be imprudent.  If we know that God keeps His word because we’ve seen Him

Who Do You Turn To?

637) We are admonished to come to God boldly in Hebrews 4:16 but we can overlook the words that come next in our English translations but beforeit in the Greek. This word is, throne. The word, throne, represents power and authority. I picture a child turning to a friend and asking if he can go

The Importance of Rest

636) Hebrews 4:1-11 uses the word, rest, eleven times. Though the context of these verses concerns God’s rest as in the next life in heaven with Him, it is obvious that the writer of Hebrews was using a word that his readers can understand. The importance of rest is sometimes overlooked. Jesus went out alone

Joy is not Situation Specific

626) Happiness and joy are easily mixed up. Happiness comes from the outside, how your day plays out, how others interact with you and what you have seen or heard. Joy is reaped from within; when we are at peace with God, our families, those in our work or social circles. It is possible to

The Power of Light

623) Light is powerful. We need the sunlight to be healthy and to grow food. If we were to lose electricity on a dark and rainy day, we can feel its absence. The antidote to darkness is light and not the other way around. Jesus said He is the light of the world. He does

Character Test – Assign a Little Job

622) Little things are important. If you leave one ingredient out of a dish you prepare, it can change the whole taste. Jesus tells us in Luke 16:10 that little things do matter. A good way to evaluate the character of another is to watch how they do the small, mundane, everyday things. If they

Rest is Underrated

621) One year, I had to accompany a group of 8th graders on a trip to Boston. We left the school at 4:30 am and returned at 3:30 am the next day. I guess I was the lucky teacher because I got assigned the 4 rowdiest boys to chaperone.  This was the first – and

Foundations Matter

620) If a home is built on a faulty foundation, who would be interested in buying it? Yet, sometimes it’s hard to evaluate because it’s often hidden underneath the rest of the house. In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus said that the wise build on a rock foundation and the unwise on the one made of sand.

I Am a Murderer

619)I wonder if anyone has considered the fact that, according to Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:21-22, we’re all murderers. If we’ve ever thought or felt like killing someone, it is murder. We can murder someone when we’re angry at them, after all, what is the emotion behind murder? We can destroy peoples’ spirit with the
