Through the Psalms

Another taste of the Psalms today. Have a lovely Friday, my friends. Psalm 17: 6-7 “I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; Turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. Show me the wonders of your great love, You who save by your right hand Those who take refuge inContinue reading “Through the Psalms”

A Work of Art

Happy Wednesday, y’all! This devotion was first published in “The Secret Place.” I hope you enjoy it. Many admire the beauty of glass, its colors sparkling. Steppingstones, with embedded glass, decorate gardens. Stained-glass windows inspire awe and reverence. To make the stained-glass, the artist first breaks glass, leaving tiny splinters and sharp edges. Next, sheContinue reading “A Work of Art”

Millions of Raindrops

This is longer than usual, but something worth thinking about. Have a wonderful Wednesday! I’ve always wanted to do big things—you know, travel to a foreign country and help needy people. Feed and clothe those who are hungry and lack adequate clothing. I want to change the world. But I am just an ordinary person.Continue reading “Millions of Raindrops”

Abide

I don’t know about you, but it’s my independence that can keep me from a closer relationship with God. Thinking “I can do this” rather than yielding to God, can distance me from him. And isn’t my “I can do this” attitude really a sin of pride?Good Thursday morning. May you always abide with ourContinue reading “Abide”

Conflicting Forces

Where hatred rules, love is crowded out. Where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell. When worry is present, trust cannot crowd its way in. Billy Graham Lord,Continue reading “Conflicting Forces”

Blood of Christ

Blood of Christ Blood of Christ course through my heart, That I may love like thee, Blood of Christ course through my brain, That I may think like thee. Blood of Christ, nourish my tongue, That it may speak for you, Blood of Christ nourish my eyes, Let them see as you do. Blood ofContinue reading “Blood of Christ”

Love and Obedience

Here’s a quote for a thought-provoking Tuesday: “Our Lord told His disciples that love and obedience were organically united. The final test of love is obedience.”― A.W. Tozer This quote seems so appropriate for this week. For as Jesus walked his last days in Jerusalem, he obeyed and gave us the most perfect love, sacrificialContinue reading “Love and Obedience”

A Fragrant Offering

“Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5::2 However you choose to honor God with your offerings, monetary or otherwise, may that offering be as fragrant to ourContinue reading “A Fragrant Offering”
