“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…
Feed your Soul
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:11 This year one of my goals has been to memorize Romans 8. One of the ways I am working on that is to listen to it on my Bible app each morning. I usually am putting on makeup…
Your Name
“Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!’ (which means ‘Teacher’).” John 20:16 (NIV) A few weeks ago I was meeting a friend and my sister for coffee at Kneaders. I filled up my coffee cup and turned to head toward the table. “Louise.” I heard my name…
Beautiful
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) Kurt and I were in New York City last week which is why I did not write a Worship Wednesday post. While in New York City we visited the Metropolitan Museum of…
Out of Plans
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” I am writing this because I need the reminder. We make plans, we set them into action, and suddenly they get derailed. I have been wrestling with the Lord over something since December. I had a…
Relationship
Ephesians 1:17 (NIV) “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.” Paul is writing to the church in Ephesus. He wants to encourage the believers to know their identity in Christ. The book of…
Enough
Romans 12:15 (ESV) “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” My heart is heavy as I write this. Yesterday I heard awful news. One of my friends lost her daughter unexpectedly. This young woman, in her twenties, woke to a new day yesterday and before the morning was over, she was standing…
Who Are You?
Galatians 4:6-7 (NIV) “Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.” I was reading an article on Facebook last week about…
