Prayer Journey—Honor

You are righteous dear God. Your wisdom is life. It is difficult for me to grasp the vastness of your presence, the depth of your holiness, the purity of your light. Nothing on this earth compares to you, yet your work, the beauty of your creation is evident in this world. Your mighty hand is […]

Sunday Honor

I will meditate on all Your workAnd muse on Your deeds.Your way, O God, is holy;What god is great like our God?You are the God who works wonders;You have made known Your strength among the peoples. – Psalm 77:12-14 (NASB)

Struggling for Purpose

We struggle for years, working to serve the Lord. Yet there are moments when setbacks can cause us to wonder why we expended so much effort. It can seem like it is wasted. Isaiah expressed this sentiment: “But I said, ‘I have toiled in vain, I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity (Isaiah […]

Talking to God

Some of the deepest conversations I have had with a friend have been one to one in private—sitting together over a cup of coffee or a meal. Sometimes I think of those moments when praying—sitting in private with God and discussing life and it’s challenges. It is that one-to-one dialogue that I envision when I […]

Prayer Journey—Infinite Love

You dear God are in all things. Your greatness knows no bounds. Even the vastness of the heavens cannot contain you. You are all knowing, eternal, ever present. Next to you I am but a tiny grain of sand on an expansive beach. Yet you hold that grain of sand in the palm of your […]

You alone are the LORD.You have made the heavens,The heaven of heavens with all their host,The earth and all that is on it,The seas and all that is in them.You give life to all of themAnd the heavenly host bows down before You. – Nehemiah 9:6. (NASB)

Fruit of the Faithful

Sometimes I think about the apostles of Jesus and what might have happened if they had listened to the scribes and pharisees and not preached about Jesus. Because of their steadfast Spirit, their determination to spread the Good News about Jesus, today we have the New Testament, God’s Word of salvation through Jesus. It because […]

Angry Loss

What does anger cause us to miss? Our frustration, bitterness and resentment can taint our day and cause us to lash out at people, damage relationships and create difficult situations. This response does not convey God’s love, grace or holiness to others. When we respond to life with anger, we miss out on what God […]

Prayer Journey — Eternal God

There are days I am saddened by the dishonor shown to you dear God, the disdain expressed before you. Yet I am reminded of your righteousness, the foundation of your throne. You reign over all the earth. In the history of humanity, no empire, no power on earth has outlived you. You and your word […]

Sunday Honor

The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;let the distant shores rejoice.Clouds and thick darkness surround him;righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.Fire goes before himand consumes his foes on every side.His lightning lights up the world;the earth sees and trembles.– Psalm 97:1-4 (NIV)
