Food for Thought

Oswald Chambers Are we glorifying God to impress others? Or to feel better about ourselves? Or are we truly glorifying God, not to lift ourselves, but no acknowledge How amazing our God truly is? What does scripture tell us about this? I’m sure you can find other appropriate scripture, but here is one to contemplate:Continue reading “Food for Thought”

Gentleness and Respect

Have a wonderful Monday, my friends, and remember to treat others with gentleness and respect. It’s easy to read a scripture and nod our heads and agree with it, right? With all the arguments and disagreeing happening, I’m thinking perhaps we all need to work on treating others with gentleness and respect. It’s a totallyContinue reading “Gentleness and Respect”

Sermon Snippet

“If you want peace, it starts with prayer and petition.” Dave Mitchell “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your mind in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4: 6-7Continue reading “Sermon Snippet”

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”

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!

Oswald Chambers I love thisContinue reading “Rejoice!”

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”
