My Strength

Billy Graham Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” How wonderful to know that our God gives us the strength we need to accomplish his will. Definitely a reason to leap forContinue reading “My Strength”

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”

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”

Thankful for Fall

On November 4th, I am thankful for fall weather.

I am thankful for a God who creates such a variety of beauty for us toContinue reading “Thankful for Fall”

The Son’s Warmth

On a cloudy, windy day, the chill penetrates my body, leaving me cold and shivering. The sunless, grayContinue reading “The Son’s Warmth”

Reflected Glory

Rev. 1:16b “His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance” The small lake shimmers smooth as glass, its dark greenish-brown surface reflecting the surrounding autumn world.  Dark, straight tree trunks and branches protect the lake’s perimeter, the yellow, green, and orange leaves doubled in their reflected beauty.  The contour of each billowyContinue reading “Reflected Glory”

The Voice of the Lord

Through the Psalms Psalm 29: 3 & 4 “The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, The Lord thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.” Close your eyes. Can you hear the rhythm of the water? CanContinue reading “The Voice of the Lord”

A Thunderous Voice

A Thunderous Voice The bible tells us that God speaks in a still, small voice.  But sometimes when I enter a still, small state, His voice shouts and thunders:  How can my people be so blind?  How can you be so deaf?  Open your eyes!  Open your ears!  My glory is all around you andContinue reading “A Thunderous Voice”
