“He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.” Mark 4:39 (NIV) I don’t know about you, but I needed this verse today. It seems that of late, the wind and waves of life have been blowing and crashing into…
Category Archives: Worship Wednesday
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!
Feel Like Quitting?
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9 (NIV) How does that verse strike you? Lately I have been struggling with a situation in my life. Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Sometimes, how about most…
What Would the Father Do?
“So Jesus said, ‘When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be, and that I do nothing on my own but speak what the Father has taught me.” John 8:28 (NIV) Good morning, friends. I am excited about the verse we are…
3 Steps to Defeat Worry
“Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.” 2 Timothy 1:12b I stumbled across this verse a few years ago. I remember it clearly. It was a Saturday morning. I had made myself…
Be Strong!
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” Ephesians 6:10 (NIV) I have read and recited this verse lots of times and glanced over it to the armor of God passage. It was an intro for me to focus on being properly equipped for the spiritual battle we are in. Yet as…
Forget It!
“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sin no more.” Isaiah 43:25 (NIV) Over my lifetime the enemy has been great at reminding me of all my past sins. He is living up to his name in Revelation 12:10, “the accuser of our brothers and…
Afraid of the Dark
“even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is a light to you.” Psalm 139:12 This week in Bible I am teaching my students about one of the attributes of God – He is omnipresent. I love teaching God’s Word. And I love when my…
Jesus Asks Why?
“He said to them, ‘Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?” Luke 24:38 Sitting at my kitchen table in the early morning hours on Sunday, I read this verse. It stood out to me like neon sign. I felt as though Jesus was talking right to me. Like He was…
He Is Listening
“Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?” Psalm 94:9 (NIV) Do you ever feel like God isn’t listening? Or maybe He doesn’t see what is going on around you? Maybe you feel alone. Take hold of this verse! I love the word picture the Lord paints…
Shelter
“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1(NIV) As I am writing this, it is storming outside. The lightening is illuminating the sky. The thunder is clapping so hard that Foxy, our dog, is sticking to me like glue. The wreath hanging on the…
