Answered Prayer: Guaranteed

1826) When I read verses like Matthew 21:22 that promise God will give me anything I ask for by faith, I feel confused. If you look at this at face value, it must mean if I have enough faith, God will grant anything I ask for, but is this what it means? It’s not enough to

Too Much Knowledge

1824) When I was in college, I had a Japanese girl who was my roommate. Because she grew up in a different culture, I had a lot of questions for her. One was about how she learned to speak English. Her answer surprised me. She said she took around 10 years of English in school but

Rain

1823) If you’re not a farmer or gardener, it’s easy not to pay too close attention to rain unless there’s been too much of it or too little. Let’s just take a moment to think about it, though. Rain is important to the world in which we live. It keeps everything alive. It washes over the

Role Models

1822) Proverbs 22:34-35 tells us what sort of friendships are not healthy. It says that spending a lot of time with someone who is angry is dangerous. Why? Because we adopt their ill manner quicker than their good ones. Angry people are not happy ones. They only see the injustice of things in their lives and

Jesus’ Role

1821) Like it or not, our view of the world is shaped by how we were raised. We have also been influenced by those who surrounded us in these formative years. With this in mind, we see Jesus’ purpose on this earth through these lenses. Why did Jesus come? Maybe your lenses show judgment. Do you

All Gifts are from God

1820) Many of us have heard of great things people of God have done for him. There are the evangelists, teachers, and missionaries, but have you considered that those who work in the realm of the arts are doing work for God that’s just as important? Exodus 35:35 tells us of those who were designers, engravers,

My Responsibility

1819) I’m grateful that my parents taught me responsibility not only because of its importance but also because of the reputation it establishes. . If you exhibit responsibility, you plant seeds of respect within others’ hearts. This is especially important if you are God’s child. Why? Because we’re a reflection of God and when we choose

Air Traffic Controllers

1818) These days, air travel is complicated and frustrating. If you have traveled anywhere in the last several years, it’s inevitable there will be some glitch you have to deal with. Since I’ve spent a lot of time sitting in a plane on the runway, waiting to either take off or for a gate to be

Taste Test

1817) I know a few people who’ve experienced God through someone (or a group of people) who is a child of God but does not send up an aroma that replicates the food God has prepared. When someone tastes the food of Christians, sometimes it’s bitter. Why? Most likely, this food is cooked, seasoned, and arranged

Leaning

1816) Since the Garden of Eden, man and woman often don’t understand each other. After all, I’ve been married to the same man for over 38 years and there are still times when I assumed he meant one thing, when he really meant another. We don’t only make these kinds of mistakes with each other; we
