Welcome to Worship Wednesday! Join me each Wednesday for an uplifting devotion worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wednesdays can be hard. It’s the middle of the week. We are tired. Life is busy. The “Sunday High” has worn off. Come here to get your spiritual batteries recharged.
I will give you my insights into God’s Word. We will meditate on Scripture and offer a prayer of praise. Please leave an encouraging word for your Living Bellissima friends.
Sit back and enjoy what God has to say to you today. What a great way to start your Wednesday!
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:18-19 Did that title grab your attention? I find myself saying that a lot lately…
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever.” Psalm 136:1 Each Sunday night I lead a Bible study for some of my former students who are in jr. high and high school. We gather for a meal, usually pizza and crazy bread. I add a card table to my kitchen…
“Come to me.” – Jesus I looked at my calendar and realized I had double booked myself for dinner on Friday night. How did I do that? Well, you see, I use two calendars. One on my phone which works great when I’m on the run. And the other calendar is a paper planner that…
“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 Through my living room windows, I noticed the yellow jacket flying around my back patio. As quickly as I noticed it I forgot about it…
“Before you do anything, put your trust totally in God and not in yourself. Then every plan you make will succeed.” Proverbs 16:3 TPT I love New York City and Washington D.C. Because of my affinity for these big cities, I thought I loved big cities. Wrong. I have come to learn I do not…
“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10b One day last week I was working on some stuff around the house. It was my fall break and when I get a break I usually do something around the house. I am undertaking painting the interior of our home. That’s a big project,…
“He is good; his love endures forever.” 2 Chronicles 5:13 NIV I woke Monday morning to the news of the shooting in Las Vegas. My heart broke for the families of those affected and for the family of the shooter. After returning home from work, I saw on the news the death count had risen. …
“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3 NIV As you may know, I am teaching a Bible study with my friend, Robyn. We are teaching through 1, 2,…
“So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today.” Proverbs 22:19 NIV I was reading my Bible this morning and came across this profound proverb. I underlined it. Meditated on it. Made a note of it to hang this somewhere in my classroom. Ultimately it resonated most with my role as…
“Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” Psalm 25:4-5 (NIV) Recently I was meeting with a friend and she said something that I have said many times. We were…
