Seeking Approval

1884) We all want approval from others. Some of us are more focused on it, but this desire is universal. For children, they want the approval of the adults in their world. A parent, grandparent or teacher. For teens, they also want the approval of some specific peer group. For adults, we may long for the

Sharing Examined

1883) The word sharing has a different emphasis, depending on the group the word is used within. In kindergarten, it can mean allowing other children to have time to play with a toy. For junior high, it can mean expanding a friendship circle with a new teen. For adults, it can mean getting something “heavy”

A Small, Enormous Difference

1882) Watching or reading news of our nation can be daunting. There’s so much that is going wrong and I fear where this will lead us as a country. When I sit quietly and think about these things, I’m tempted to say, what difference can I make in all of this? The answer is: a

Who Do You Say I Am?

1881) Imagine a group of your peers, or even a group that just knows who you are and someone brings up your name. What kind of conversation will take place? Will they remember your work ethic? Your character? Will there be disdain in their words? Something to think about, isn’t it?   In Matthew 16:15,

Prudent Planning

1880) Taking the time to think through a commitment before you agree to it is prudent. Is this a worth-while thing? Am I equipped to do it? Do I have someone who can guide and help me when I get stuck?   Luke 14:28 tells us a wise builder makes sure he has the funds

Timing is Everything

1879) There are times in our lives when we stand on a threshold, needing to decide on what to do next. What college should I go to? Whom should I marry? Should I buy this house? In Galatians 6:10, Paul tells us to do good to others when we have an opportunity. The Greek word used

Imagination Worth Cultivating

1878) I have been blessed with a superior imagination. My mind immediately creates images and connections without my prompting. While this can be a bad thing, as it allows me to see all that could go wrong, it can also be used profitably.   A very familiar verse, Isaiah 41:10, takes on a stronger meaning

The Daily Challenge

1877) There are all sorts of “challenges” on social media that really boil down to dares. I dare you to inhale cayenne pepper. I dare you to allow someone to duct tape you to….you get the idea. The only reason I pay any attention to these things is because it gives me information to watch for

A Hard Yet Wonderful Truth

1876) Proverbs 34:10 reminds us of an important promise God gives his children. It tells us those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. It sounds wonderful, but if you pause and think about this; it becomes a hard truth.   We may know God provides all we need, but it’s the “good” part

In Other Words

1874) I was reading a well-known verse recently; one so well-known I sometimes don’t stop and reflect. The verse is Jeremiah 29:11. When I stop and meditate on verses, I often look them up in their original language (Hebrew, in this case) and look up what those words mean. Here’s what my study discovered: For I
