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

For Everyone

1814)  Proverbs 3:27 has an interesting message. It says, Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. (ESV) If you just glance at the verse without looking closer, it seems like a conditional command. Do good to those who deserve it; and you can skip

Full-time Christian Work

1813) Sometimes we get the idea that only those who are pastors or missionaries and such are the only ones who do full-time Christian work. This is not what the Bible says. In Colossians 3:23, we read anything we do for God, even if it’s merely helping someone who needs assistance in something, is doing full-time

No Exemption

1812) When I was young, there was a toy called Weebles. They were an egg-shaped toy whose jingle was Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down. You could place them on the floor, hold one end down, and when you let go, they always popped right back up.   This toy comes to mind when I read

Rock

1811) Where I live in coastal Maine, we have acres of blueberry barrens. The wild Maine blueberries flourish in our well-drained soil. There are some hindrances to their cultivation, however, and one of them is the number of rocks that more than pepper the area. When driving by, you’ll see piles of rocks surrounding the barrens

The Key to Safety

1810) There are many places in the Bible that state we are safe with God. When I read verses like Psalm 4:8, I can sometimes feel confused. The verse tells us we can lie down in peace because we dwell in God’s safety. Why do I feel confusion? Because there have been many times when

Hail to Outcasts

1809) I have always rooted for the underdog. My heart finds these individuals quickly. Those who have been rejected or made to feel like an outsider experience great pain. I’m not the only one who cheers for those who don’t fit in; God does too. In Jeremiah 30:17, God tells us He will restore the outcasts

Insignificant Can Be Significant

1808) For those of you who are or have been married, you know how significant insignificants can be. The empty paper towel or toilet paper holders, the clinking of a spoon in a coffee cup. You get the idea. If these examples don’t bug you, it’s easy to think, Boy, that’s a lot of energy being

Deceptive

  1807) Every once-in-a -while, we’ll watch a show that features people looking to buy a place on the beach or some other desirable place. When I watch these, I’ll hear many of them say, We’ve worked hard for this opportunity.  When I hear them say this, sometimes I’ll smirk and think, I work very
