Sunday Praise

Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! I will praise the LORD while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. – Psalm 146:1-2 (NASB)

#WednesdayWalk — Healing Touch

“Had she really been healed by just touching him?” I wondered. “Could I also be healed by just touching him?” I tried to get closer to Jesus and Jairus, but some people pushed past me and stopped in front of Jairus.

Incomprehensible

In Psalm 71:15, David wrote, “My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them (NASB).” It’s an interesting phrase in that in the last line he admits he does not know the sum, the totality of God’s righteousness and salvation. Even […]

Prayer Journey — Weeping

Jesus wept. He felt grief, loss. He felt sorrow as others grieved. This morning I think of a young couple suffering the pain of losing a baby. I pray for them and so many others who at this moment are grieving the loss of a loved one. The pain is deep, sometimes unconsolable. I pray […]

Sunday Praise

I will extol You, my God, O King, And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable. – Psalm 145:1-3 (NASB)

Faith and Endless Possibilities

I gazed at the stars above and was awed by the infinite number that speckled the dark sky. Dots of hope in the deep blackness that surrounded me.

Intense Faith

I could feel the heat from the blazing furnace even at this distance. The king’s anger against these men was as hot as the furnace. I had never seen anything like it. I was horrified to think that these men would be tossed into that furnace…

Reaching the Rebellious

They were a tough crowd. Rebellious, obstinate and stubborn — the kind of people you want to give up on. Yet God called Ezekiel to reach out to them. “But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious,” he told Ezekiel (Ezekiel 2:7, NASB). He encouraged Ezekiel […]

Prayer Journey — Laying Aside Worry

There are so many worries in this world. Yet you tell me dear God to lay my worries at your feet — into your very capable hands. You encourage me to do so as an offering of faith and trust in you dear God. It is an act of humbling myself before you and admitting […]

Sunday Praise

For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. – Psalm 139:11-12 (NASB)
