Give it to God

699) As a writer, I have always been sensitive to words and their meanings. I notice when they seem to be overused (awesome, epic, etc.). As a teacher of writing, I have frequently said to my students, “If you use the word awesome for everything- like, ‘Pizza is awesome,’ what will you say if you

The Problem of Assumptions

698) It can be a very hurtful thing if someone makes an incorrect assumption about you. Take a minute and think of a time this happened. What did it feel like, and why? In 1 Samuel 1:12-16, we find a broken-hearted woman–Hannah. She desperately wants to conceive and have a son, but this chapter tells

In Spite of Heartache

697) When I was young, I thought it would be a good idea to know the specific things that would happen in my life ahead of time. My reasoning was that I could “plan” for it. If a gift was on the way, I could decide how to use it. If disease were just around

Lessons from the Past

696) I can’t imagine a world so evil that God said He was sorry He made man (Genesis 6:5-6), but in Judges 17:6, we see what caused yet another biblical period of history when God’s people disregarded His laws and “did what was right in their own eyes.” Punishment and the consequences of these choices

Young Love and Old Wisdom

695) Sometimes while I’m driving, I hear a song that puts me in a mental time machine and before I know it, I am 35 or more years in the past. If I take the time to follow through in my thinking, I smile and then cringe when my naivete screamed when I judged what

When God’s Timetable is Frustrating

694) Most of us know that to God a day is like a thousand years. (2 Peter 3:8) Knowing this, it can be frustrating when we want His help now and He takes His time answering. The Israelites experience this same frustration. In Judges 13, the Israelites were, once again, not following God’s laws and

Our Difficulties Have Multiple Purposes

693) There are so many things people say when you are going through tough times. “You will grow stronger because of it.” “You’ve got this.” “The pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow.” These aren’t bad things to hear, but God often has more in mind when we face difficulties. In Judges

Tell the Story

692) I have had the honor of being taught music and voice by a professional with a myriad of credentials that he rarely talks about. He would often say to me while having a lesson, “You need to tell the story” of the song we were working on. After each lesson, I would ponder the

The Responsibilities of Parents

691) I have taught multiple grades of children for three and a half decades. When people find this out, they often ask me how kids have changed throughout the years. A huge change is the kids being saturated in the digital world but this is far from what I notice the most. As each year

The Battle Will Be a Win but You Still Need to Fight

690) There are plenty of times that I have thought that God’s help should be His independent work and action. I’ll ask for healing, victory, courage and more and then I’ll sit back and wait for God to do these things. Sometimes God does just this but most of the time, He is working toward
