It’s Not About Us

1449) Recently, I was speaking with someone, well; I need to correct that. The other person was speaking, and I was listening. This person spent the whole time only talking about themselves, dominating the entire conversation. Though in this case, the conversation was one-sided, it’s so easy to make everything about us, isn’t it? We

He Sees and Knows

1448) The internet, smartphones and more bring so much information to us. It’s easy for an hour to be sucked up by reading newsfeeds, playing games and shopping. Having access to these things can overwhelm your heart, too. When I see the violence, bickering, cheating, obnoxious, conceited words and actions of people who hide behind

Is God Hard of Hearing?

1447) As I have aged, I notice there are certain conditions when hearing is more difficult for me. If my husband and I are going anywhere in our car, the sound of the engine makes it harder for me to understand his deep voice. I don’t suppose my hearing will get better through time. Sigh!

#1 Priority

1446) What would it mean to you for someone you look up to and respect to sit down with you and say, “Tell me what’s going on in your life? I’ve blocked out the entire afternoon, just for you.”? I have had this happen once and when I saw this person’s face, full of caring

Head Versus Heart

1445) I must admit there have been plenty of times when I read one of the Psalms, I feel like David was just too good to be true. What do I mean? Well, in Psalm 7, David states God is his shield, and honest judge (vs. 10-11) and he thanks God for being just. (vs.

A Package Deal

1444) Occasionally, I’ll read a book which has the line, “There’s no hope of recovery.” It catches my attention because I’m not sure anyone in any profession would say these words to someone who is teetering on the edge of disaster or despair, even if these words might be true. This despicable statement makes me

Subtle Idolatry

1443) Have you ever considered that we are all idolaters? What? I have never made an idol, have you? Yes, we can make physical idols or place other people into the position of God in our lives, but how about when we do it the other way? What about when we make God be and

Feelings Can Lie

1442) Part of the wonderful human experience is our ability to have feelings. Think of brand-new love and the emotions it stirs. Remember that feeling you had when you were young and in trouble? What about the feeling that adrenalin stirs up? These typically visit each of us, but have you considered that feelings can

It’s Okay to Ask

1441) In Christian circles, it’s easy to label someone selfish if they keep specific boundaries blocking out others who are toxic. Making the choice to act in your best interest isn’t always selfish. I understand this, but I often feel if I ask God for things, even for my own comfort, it’s not okay. But,

Everyone’s Against Me!

1440) The few times in my life when I said, Everyone’s Against Me may have been when I was in junior high, but, I’ve thought this a time or two as an adult. When you’re in a position when you feel everyone’s against you, it truly does seem that way, but in reality, it probably
