Poor Spending

1928) As I work toward being the person God intended me to be, I still find it hard when someone doesn’t like me or tries their best to close me out of the world around them, which is often connected to me.   When this happens, my gut reaction is to try to appease the

Help!

1927) There are so many things in life that are best described as dichotomies. For example, if emotional pain exists, so does love, or the hope of love. Another example is found in Mark 9:24. In this verse, we read the statement, “I believe; help my unbelief.” When I was young and read this verse,

Sort Of

1926) Luke 1:37 holds an attribute of God I have always accepted, sort of. Those two little words, “sort of” are important to note.   This verse tells us nothing is impossible with God. I can read this and nod my head. Yes, God can bring healing. Yes, God can create the world. Yes, God

Jealousy Examined

1925) There are so many things I don’t understand about God. I suppose many of them will be understood in the next life, but for now, I continually dig for information.   A verse, actually several verses that allude to the same thing, I’ve struggled to understand is Deuteronomy 4:24. Here, God is being described

Read it and Reap

1924) If you grew up in the church such as I have, you will be familiar with Galatians 6:7. You may even have a grandma who would frequently say, “You’ll reap what you sow.”   I have always felt Paul’s words here are specifically aimed at our bad choices, but it is also equally true

A Big Lie

1923) I was talking with someone recently and he commented on the fact that when he talked with his kids about drugs, he emphasized the danger is that they make you feel good (at least at first).   It would be easy to think, how can something that makes me feel good be bad? Of

Giving Thanks Takes Faith

1922) I was raised in a home with parents who considered being thankful an important thing. When we received gifts or were handed something at the dinner table, a “thank you” became an automatic thing. Most of us can see the good of teaching and learning this skill, but have you ever considered that some

What’s on the Menu?

1921) Have you ever paused a moment and made observations of a menu beyond just looking to choose a meal? I have. I will see which dishes are pictured. I notice how expensive items are and more.   What would you think if the menu in your hand offered you strychnine salad? Mouse cheese? Fillet

Ears and Eyes

1920) Have you ever taken a moment and thought about the gift of the senses God has given us? What would meals be like if we couldn’t taste them? What would we be missing if we cannot feel the sweet baby in our arms?   Proverbs 20:12 tells us God has given us hearing ears

A New Day

1919) When working with children, it is important to teach them that each new day gives a new opportunity to start fresh, without the mistakes of yesterday being held over their heads. This is a hard concept to teach because we live in a world that has often appointed itself to be judge and jury
