It’s All in the Timing

1841) Growing up going to church, I have known people who have asked God for a special healing for themselves or someone they loved. I didn’t know many of these people well so I’m not sure what the outcome of their prayers were, but I know God can heal people when he is asked. But, what

Fear Not

1840) Recently, I read the well-known verse, Isaiah 41:10. Here I am reminded not to fear because God is here, strengthening me, helping me, and upholding me, but what caught my attention this time in the verse are the first two words, “Fear not.” These two words caught my attention because I have developed a mentality

The Measurement of Wealth

1839) It’s easy to assume that having money or things, the ability to shop for anything or travel anywhere is the key to contentment and happiness, but it’s not. If it were, there would be no unhappy rich people, but that’s not the case. If you are God’s child, you’re already wealthy. Hebrews 13:5 tells us

Reflections of an Experienced Teacher

A Bonus Minute and a Half There are many things in my life I struggle with, but there have been two areas I feel competent in: writing and teaching. This week, however, has thrown a wrench in my feelings of competency and it has taken me totally by surprise. The first day of my 39th

Sustained

1838) My little dog Cayce and I walk regularly. I am surprised he can walk as far as we do, but he loves every step. My arches do not always enjoy every step. They ache and because of this, my doctor told me what kind of arch-support I needed to get for my shoes. These supports

This Too Shall Pass

1837) I have always been interested in phrases and generally give them a little or a lot of thought depending on their context. When I hear, this too shall pass, I understand it to mean something similar to what Paul wrote in Colossians 3:2. Paul said, think about the eternal things more than the temporary things.

The Day Started Out as Normal

1836) I love to read when I have the chance and, sometimes, I just have to make time to read. There is a line I’ve read from time to time and when I have seen it, I cringe inwardly. It is simply this: The Day Started Out as Normal. Just the whisper of these six words

Wanted

1835) I heard recently someone say, “God has everything he needs, but he wants you.” I had to listen to that several times because it made such an impression on me. 2 Timothy 1:9 tells us that God called us, not because of anything we have done for him. In fact, if you have done nothing

Never Forgotten

1834) Dreams always make me curious; often I’ll think, where did my mind come up with that? For example, the other night I dreamed I was on the playground with my young scholars and a lion cub appeared and all the kids wanted to hold and pet it. In the dream, I next saw a

Illuminating

1833) As a person who is depending more and more on words to make a living, it’s easy for me to place a lot of importance on them. Words are important for authors, but they are much easier to write than they are to live by. Matthew 5:16 reflects this thought. Here, Jesus said we are
