Good vs. Trouble

1786) As I read different Bible passages, I have a running dialogue with God. This perhaps sounds better than it is. I simply say, among other things, Hum or Really? When I read Nahum 1:7, The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, I simply say, Good and Trouble? How can God

Looking Ahead

1785) If you’re at least as old as me (one who is no longer middle-aged, unless we typically live to about 120), if you had the possibility to know the future, you would scream, No Way! There are so many things if I had known ahead of time, it would have made things worse and

An Unusual Audit

1784) Every year, getting our tax information together and filed seems to get more complicated. It makes me wonder that all of us don’t get audited by the IRS because it’s so easy to make mistakes. In reflecting on audits, James 4:11 comes to mind. Here, James tells us not to speak evil of our

Identities

1783) I live on coastal Maine, almost to the border of Canada. A friend of mine and I recently took a trip across the border and when we went, we had to have one of a limited list of things to prove our identities. A passport is what the border patrol wants to see but

Lighting is Everything

1782) I bought a decorative lamp recently and placed it in an area in my living room that had no other light source. Later that evening, when I turned it on, I saw the room I have been in for over 20 years look very different. As I looked at the light and the room,

Deliver Us from Evil

1781) If you spend any time watching or reading about the current news, it can be very discouraging. In fact, it seems evil grows day by day. There are some types of evil we have little control over, though we can do all in our power to thwart it. When evil floods into our world,

Two for One

1780) Marketing can be shrewd. Not all deals are as good as they seem. For example, buy two, get one free is really dividing up the total price by 3. This may or may not be a deal. There is an outstanding “deal” found in Zechariah 9:12. Here, we jump into the middle of prophecy

Going for a Walk

1779) At my house, all I have to say is the word walk, and my little dog goes crazy. He’ll jump around, often in a circle, and make his way right to the door. I have often thought how funny it would be if we heard the word walk, and we responded in that way.

Coping with Fear

1778) Fear is a powerful thing. It can dominate our hearts, minds, souls and bodies. It can mean the difference between success and failure. It has the potential of taking control of every aspect of our lives, but it doesn’t have to. One thing that has helped me battle fear is 2 Timothy 1:7. It

Empathy

1777) When a friend or loved-one is going through great difficulties, it rarely helps to say, I know how you feel. But, do you? It’s impossible to know completely how someone else feels. Even if you’ve gone through a similar circumstance because you have not walked in the history of their shoes. You didn’t grow
