You Are
You are the treasure of my heart, the Bright and Morning Star Who lights the steps I take. You are the One Who rescued me, giving liberty from chains I couldn’t break. You are. Questions swirling in my head; accusations – God is dead – but I know that You are alive. My heart beats […]

God So Loved
Overwhelmed by His majesty, humbled by His grace I stand in awe that a King would die in my place I can’t help but wonder why He loved me so But I’m glad He did, and I’m glad I know — God so loved the world that He gave His only Son my soul to […]

Prayer Chain
We take prayer requests and keep prayer lists, and this is good. Our finite minds struggle to remember all the needs that are brought before us. It is also good to remember, though, that the holy Spirit of God connects believers in a constant universal prayer chain. Throughout each day names and faces pop up […]

Christmas Thanks
Oh, Father, I thank You today! I thank You for Christmas! Thank You for the love of my family, the joy of sharing and giving, the excitement and wonder of children, and lights and celebration. Most of all, Father, I thank You for Your love – the gift of Your Son, Who brought Christmas to […]

Backpacks
Most days I am fortunate enough to see my grandchildren head out the door to their daily activities. They pack, with mom’s help, their supplies, their lunches, their special items, an extra jacket or whatever into backpacks and lug them to the door. It gets interesting when they start to get into the car with […]

Monday Morning Prayer
Father, Today begins a new week, and I am not sure I am ready. There will be difficulties and challenges. Remind me that You are holding my hand as I walk through them. There will be tasks to complete. Give me wisdom to set priorities and strength to do the job. Remind me to be […]

Jesus Comes
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Bouncing Back
Have you felt knocked around lately? When I was a child, I loved those inflatable punching toys. Each one was decorated with a clown face and stood about 2 ½ feet high. The bottom was weighted. I could punch it, and it would rock, but it always bounced right back to the upright starting position. […]

November
On fire with color and light, awash in autumn’s air, brilliantly showcasing the Father’s creative touch. Arms lifted to the sky in praise to His heart of grace, standing as witness to His constant care. Gently, breezes loosen the colors from their arms, cascading them in showers – a gift for Spring. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To […]

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving evening, and it has been a beautiful day. My heart is full. The past two years have been challenging. It seems a little impossible that two years ago I had never heard of COVID. During these two years, I have rejoiced at births and sorrowed at deaths. I have moved into places and […]

Conqueror!
Names of conquerors fill history books, and their monuments populate the world’s cities. We remember Cyrus and Genghis Kahn, Alexander and Napoleon, Washington and Patton, and their exploits are the stuff of legends. I see these names and I think of their deeds, and then I read Romans 8:37 – “In all these things we […]

Words
David sets up a contrast in Psalm 12. In verses two through four, he gives a description of the words of the wicked: “2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3 The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things: […]

Blessed in My Mess
Last week I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very blessed day (apologies to Judith Viorst and Alexander). I realize that those terms are contradictory, but they accurately describe the occurrences. After work, I went home. I needed a nap; my head hurt, but I planned to go to a prayer meeting that night – […]

Home
I know what it is like to be in one location while my heart resides in another, to live torn between two places. My husband travels for work, often requiring us to set up housekeeping away from our established home. He lives there, and I move between the two. So, I find myself busy with […]

Remembering
Memories. What an amazing ability God has planted in our brains to recall the past! Sometimes we see this as a blessing and sometimes as a curse. God can use my memory, though. He brings scriptures to mind at just the right time when I am faced with a problem or a temptation. He helps […]

Gifts
God seldom wraps His gifts in the manmade fineries of this world. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Photo – Autumn Gift, Beth Mims
