Salvation in a Cord

Destruction was imminent to the residents of Jericho. In Joshua 2, Rahab tells the spies that Joshua sent to Jericho, “I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before you (verse 9).” […]

Prayer Journey — Calming Raging Waters

Waters rage, grasping at my feet. The current of the rip tide tries to pull me under. I flee from the torrent, along a dusty, dry path. I thirst, but there is no water to sooth my parched mouth. I cry out to you for relief dear Lord Jesus. You tell me to not want. […]

I grew up on a farm where we raised cattle. Everyday I would fill the feeding trough (manger) with hay or silage. Over time, the wood that formed the trough became worn from daily use. It smelled of cattle saliva as well as old hay and silage. I viewed that feeding trough in our barn […]

Yesterday Faith

There is one word that stands out to me in John 4:50-52. I highlighted it in bold letters: Jesus said to him, “Go; your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off. As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living. […]

Prayer Journey — Accumulation

Dear Lord, in this life I have accumulated many things. Yet I am reminded this morning of what I have accumulated from you dear God. You nurtured my young faith decades ago, placing it in fertile soil and raising it up with the hands of your faithful. You have given me strength at times when […]
