The Lord is Not Slow
When I read this verse, I think about all the souls who have never heard the gospel, or all those who have heard bits and pieces, but don’t understand or believe it. How reassuring to know that He does not want anyone to perish, but He will allow them to come to repentance. In HisContinue reading “The Lord is Not Slow”
Rejoice!
We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be. Oswald Chambers I love thisContinue reading “Rejoice!”
The Supremacy of the Son of God
Autumn is my favorite season. The glory of the changing leaves amazes me. The bright red, yellow, orange, pink, and rust of the changing leaves is a glory to see. Walking along nature’s paths, I hear the soft crunching of the leaves beneath my feet. Each step cushioned from the hardened earth. After a hot,Continue reading “The Supremacy of the Son of God”
Living and Holy Sacrifice
This is a most interesting verse, don’t you think? For Paul, I suppose this may have referred to the ways he was treated in order to preach the word of God. He was beaten repeatedly and imprisoned for his beliefs. Most of us don’t have to worry about that type of “living and holy sacrifice.”Continue reading “Living and Holy Sacrifice”
Walking the Nature Trails
The path opens to a clearing larger than a football field. Waist high brome grasses sway slightly in a gentle waltz with the faint breeze. Nearby branches merely watch, too heavily laden with yellow-green hedge apples to dance. On the far side of the field lies a painter’s palette of trees showing their colors—green, yellow,Continue reading “Walking the Nature Trails”
Trust in the Lord
I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of too many things more everlasting than a rock. How wonderful that our rock, our Savior, is everlasting. We can lean on him and rely on his strength now and for eternity. Father, thank you for being so dependable and reliable. Thank you for providing strengthContinue reading “Trust in the Lord”

Through the Psalms, 34
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend. The mountains are so majestic. They make me think of the amazing power of God. Psalm 34: 8-9“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.Fear the Lord, you his holy people, forContinue reading “Through the Psalms, 34”
A Month of Thankfulness, 6
In this month of giving thanks, what are you thankful for? Today, I’m thankful for the rain that falls and nourishes our crops and plants. I love listening to it beat a tune on the roof, or standing on the porch, watching it come down. I also love watching moisture come down in the winter,Continue reading “A Month of Thankfulness, 6”
