Remember His Deeds
Yes, Lord, I remember the stories from your word, how you parted the Red Sea, how your son was born of a virgin. I remember the ways He healed, both body and spirit. And Lord, I remember the miracles you have performed in my own life. You are mightly, indeed.
As the Deer Pants for Water
In late August the hot sun scorches the earth. The brittle grass browns and breaks. Moisture-starved leaves yellow and flutter to the ground. The baked earth, cracked in every direction, cries for rain. Insects buzz in erratic dances—nothing else moves. The stifling heat rises in nearly invisible waves. Safe in her thicket, the deer stirs.

All of You
“An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.” ― A.W. Tozer Thank you, Father, for your undivided attention and love, for givingContinue reading “All of You”
“Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.” — Francis Chan Yikes! If that isn’t a quote to cut you to the quick! How often, Lord, do I put earthly success ahead of knowing and loving you? What about the new job or raise,Continue reading

Even in our homes, it can be elusive. Couples bicker and divorce, siblings argue and fight. The book of Isaiah sheds light onContinue reading “Rivers of Peace”

Those are the lives that mould” ― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest Show me, Lord, howContinue reading “Living Simply”
To Know Christ
Wow, this is such a powerful verse. To know even a little of the power of Jesus’ resurrection would be such a privilege. Open my eyes and my spirit Lord, that I might have a better understanding of Your power and might. Let me know you and worship you.
The Small Things
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. ― Mother Teresa If small bees didn’t fly from plant to plant, pollinating them so they could bear fruit, we couldn’t enjoy the bigger things like beautiful flowers and delicious fruits and vegetables to eat. Lord, forgive me for neglecting theContinue reading “The Small Things”
