Sunday Praise

Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones. – Psalm 149:1 (NASB)

God’s Reassurance

I stand on the beach as waves pound the shore — large waves crashing with a thunderous roar. A strong wind presses against me, throwing me off balance. The vastness of the ocean is hard to grasp with seemingly infinite waves disappearing into the horizon. Yet the power of the ocean seems inadequate to describe […]

You Are Uniquely Crafted

Ephesians 2:10 tells us, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them (NASB).” It is a reminder that we are created by God; we are His workmanship. We are uniquely crafted by God for His purposes. He desires for us […]

Prayer Journey — His Hand

Your touch dear Lord; your hand; your presence. You are evident in each day, gently nudging; prompting; pointing me in the right direction.

No Thanks

Prayer Journey — Rejection

I pray this morning that those who reject you dear God would get a glimpse of you today. May your light break through the darkness and illumine their soul if even for a moment. I pray the evidence of your existence would compel them to seek you. May your presence become more evident when they […]

Sunday Praise

And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” – Revelation 5:13 (NASB)

God Overcomes

“Many waters” is a phrase that intrigues me. It is used 20 times in the NASB Bible, mostly in the Old Testament and only in Revelation in the New Testament. It is a descriptive phrase that uses the sound and sight of a vast amount of water to help us understand the immensity, the power […]
