In the Arms of God

684) Most of us cannot remember clearly the feeling of being carried in our father’s arms. Maybe for some of you, it was your mother carrying you. What’s even harder to remember and face that no one carried you at all when you were small. When I’m out at the store, I’ll usually see a

Biting Circumstances

683) I heard someone say once, “No one ever gets away with anything.” and my first reaction was, “That’s not true.” Since then, I have been thinking about this and I’ve concluded that his statement is correct. These consequences may be in the form of a punishment, a breakdown in a relationship, hurt feelings, and

Remember?

682) Our memory is a funny thing. Sometimes we can remember things so vividly that we can see them in our heads, feeling and even smelling some of them as if they just happened. At other times, we have no memory of events that others who were involved distinctly remember. And finally, sometimes we need

Resentment Unleashed

681) Resentment forms when you have the idea that you have been treated unfairly. You become the judge and you evaluate situations, determining which ones have treated you fairly and which haven’t. What can become a real problem with this evaluation is that you rarely have all the facts, and it’s therefore easy to jump

The Bondage of Fear

680) I have battled fear my entire life. I wish I could say that it was solely because of spiders or snakes but, honestly, very few of my fears are of this nature. Because of this, I have sometimes chosen the “known,” even when it’s not the best or even terrible circumstances, over the “unknown.”

Trash Talking

679) It certainly is human to trash talk someone. Why not? Our culture has saturated itself with it. It’s on the news, in entertainment, at the local grocery store and even in churches. In Numbers 12, we see how God feels about trash talking. Moses’ siblings, Miriam and Aaron, don’t care for some things Moses,

Complaining is Contagious

678) I’ve often thought that whining and complaining are similar. As I give them consideration, I think of whining as being a childish act and complaining as the adult version. Either way, it’s tiresome to hear complaining. In my teaching career, I have had several occasions when I have worked many hours and spent a

Big Messes and Little Messes

677) Much of the book of Exodus is about God giving Moses, and sometimes Aaron, instructions on building the Tabernacle. In the book of Leviticus, different sacrifices are described and instructions given by God to these two leaders. After reading several chapters, you can see that God is interested in forgiving the big messes we

Stones that are Silent

676) In our limited minds, it’s easy to pass judgment on anyone (including God) and on anything. I have wondered if we had the power to wipe someone off the face of the earth, would we do it and, if so, how many? I am often on the other extreme; I would let so many

Little by Little

674) Teenagers often have a different timetable than adults. Many want what they want and they want it now. Sometimes we hang onto this immediate demanding into adulthood and it makes trusting God difficult. As we pray, we may demand that God act upon our prayers immediately, but God may not do this. In Exodus
