Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 1 Peter 3:8 I recently saw something that unsettled my spirit deeply. Some people I love and respect shared a video disparaging several Bible teachers I have also come to respect. Henry Blackaby was one of them, […]
Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Psalm 143:8 It wasn’t exactly the morning we’d planned. Summer had changed things for my prayer partner and me. Life took us in separate […]
. . . I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. […]

So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 NIV I have to be honest with you. I’m feeling a little lost. You may already know from some of my recent posts that I’ve been away on vacation. I spent two glorious weeks at […]
“By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.” Exodus 13:21 Did you ever notice how God becomes just what we need from Him […]
