John 3:21: “But whoever does what is true, comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” When you lose power in your home, everything is dark. You can’t see without lighting a candle or turning on a flashlight that must have working batteries. …

Clothed With Power From On High
Luke 24:45; 49 NIV: “Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. I am going to send you what my Father has promised, but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” Are you in a period in life when you need guidance or wisdom from …
Exalted Humility
“God is not influenced by what people say or think about us, because He sees the thoughts and motives of the heart (1 Sam. 6:7). Warren Wiersbe
When Feeling Insignificant
Luke 12:6-7 “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Often we women struggle with our value or worth when we compare ourselves to other women. …
A Miraculous Outcome On A Routine Day
Luke 5:4-6; 9: “And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” And when they had done this, they enclosed …
Greatest Strengths & Greatest Weaknesses
Luke 4:13: “And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.” We have started again with a brand new year – 2019. I wonder what lessons does God know I need to learn and grow from in this year? I have been reflecting on 2018 and reviewing in …
When You Have A Mountain That Needs To Be Moved
Mark 11:22-23: ” Jesus answered them, Have faith in God.” Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.” Do you ever wonder if you have enough faith in regards to a prayer request that is burning within …

When Overwhelmed Their Can Still Be A Harvest
Mark 4:19-20 NIV: “But the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop – thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown.” Each stage in life has its own worries that fall into financial, physical, and employment issues. They become hard distractions we must work through, pray about, and figure out God’s solutions. It reminds me of a woman I used to work with that would tell me she was taking a “mental …

The Poison We So Often Allow
Mark 3:5:“And he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.” In Mark 3:5, Jesus was angry with the Pharisees’ lack of compassion for a man with a deformed hand. They sat silently observing Jesus to see if He would heal this man on of …
How Do You Stay Encouraged?
“If I am a Christian – if I have given Christ lordship of my life – where I am in five years is none of my business. Where I am in twenty years is none of my business. Where I am tomorrow is none of my business. So our plan at Jellyfish – and it’s an odd one, I’ll admit is to make no long-range plans unless God gives them explicitly. Just a group of people on their knees, trusting God for guidance each day. Holding everything loosely but God himself.” Me, Myself, & Bob. A True Story About Dreams, God, and Talking Vegetables.
