Being Humble is Powerful
Humble is mentioned in scripture 57 times, while humility is mentioned 13. That’s 70 times that God mentions this trait. Most times humble is followed by either, himself, herself, yourself, or themselves.

What do you depend on?
What is it that you depend on? Is it a person, place, or thing? Is it an event or circumstance? All these can change with the wind and typically do. Even we do, depending on our circumstance. We attended a large church in the 1990s. We weren’t active in any ministry by choice and it…
Trust in the Lord
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 I spent the last few days with my Dad, who has dementia. I don’t know why this devastating disease (to both patient and family) exists, but…
Where are you storing your treasures?
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal-Matthew 6:19 Matthew 6:19 was always confusing to me. I repeatedly recalled the story read to me as a child about the farm animals that did not bother with storing food in preparation for another…
How do you love?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud- 1 Corinthians 13:4 1 Corinthians 13:4 always hits me with His power. Do I have love? Not always. Am I patient? Not always, but am better at that than years ago thanks to God and my lovely…

The book of Genesis begins with the fact that God was before He created light, the heavens, water, earth, animals, and man. God was there before this. He is the uncreated one. Ponder that for a minute. He has always been. If it was up to me to deliberately and intentionally create light, the heavens,…
Are you alert for the thief?
The bible mentions the word thief many times and in different context. It is mentioned as you would think, someone stealing or taking another’s belongings. A thief is also mentioned as an ally we become friends and partner with in un-holiness. And it is mentioned as something we should have been prepared for, anticipation of…
Listen first
James 1:19 says, You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; This verse has historically been one of the most challenging for me, because I am a talker. I like to talk. Earlier in my walk with Christ Jesus, I wanted…
He will wipe every tear from your eyes
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4 Remember that television show “Extreme Makeover?” They would completely renovate a home, or even tear it down and rebuild it for a family…
