My Praise to the Lord

“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.  Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.”  Psalm 95:1 NIV Today I want to praise the Lord with you.  I want to shout aloud, or write, to the Rock…

Why I Love the Book of Deuteronomy

“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”  Deuteronomy 34:27a (NIV) I must confess that Deuteronomy is one of my favorite Old Testament books.  I’m guessing you may be thinking why.  I know, it’s one of those books that we tend to skip because it’s full of rules.  But I would…

Be Jesus

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”  Hebrews 13:9 I sat down to write this post with Orlando weighing heavy on my mind.  I asked the Lord to give me a word to share today with you.  As I prayed I opened my Bible randomly to Hebrews.  My eyes fell on the little…

Nothing Is Impossible with God

“Jesus replied, ‘What is impossible with men is possible with God.’”  Luke 18:27 (NIV) Do you have something in your life that seems impossible to do?  Have you tried and tried and tried and you just can’t quite do it?  You might come close, but really, when it’s all said and done, nope, you didn’t…

Mornings

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”  Lamentations 3:22,23 (ESV) I love mornings.  I have always been a morning person.  My inner clock goes off sometime between 4:50 and 5:15 every morning.  My eyes pop open and more times than…

Increase My Faith

Luke 17:5 NIV “The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’” I have been reading through the book of Luke and came across this curious verse.  The Lord is teaching about forgiveness, radical forgiveness.  The disciples respond with this verse, “Increase our faith.” I love their reaction to being stirred to a deeper walk. …

Remember

“You gave your good Spirit to instruct them.  You did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and you gave them water for their thirst.  For forty years you sustained them in the desert; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear our nor did their feet become swollen.”  Nehemiah 9:20-21 (NIV) The people of…
