Read Psalm 86. Today, we are going to look at how God rescues us from darkness. In Psalm 86:13, we read: “You love me so much and You placed Your greatness upon me. You rescued me from the deepest place of darkness, and You have delivered me from a certain death” (TPT). God is the … Continue reading Rescuer from Darkness

Goodness of God
Read Psalm 86. Today’s verse says: “Lord, you are so good to me, so kind in every way and ready to forgive” (v. 5a TPT). Today, we will focus on God being “so good to me” and you! When you hear the word “good" or the word “goodness,” what comes to mind? For many, the … Continue reading Goodness of God
Fuel Gauge
It didn’t take too long to realize that my van had a fuel gauge issue, as the van continued to show I had a full tank of gas after driving it for a week. I had a car like that before, and knew the quick remedy was to use the faithful trip monitor for mileage … Continue reading Fuel Gauge
One Sneaky Dog
Having two dogs certainly can be entertaining. This morning as I was preparing to leave for work I noticed Marci was walking what looked to be an obstacle course underneath the kitchen table. I did not understand why she was weaving and turning through chairs until I saw where the course brought her. She was … Continue reading One Sneaky Dog
Bad Alliances
Jehoshaphat followed God and his obedience brought him wealth and honor. Even so, there are times when we can make some poor decisions that can end up pulling us away from God. Jehoshaphat’s poor decision was making bad alliances. In 2 Chronicles 18, we read about the first bad alliance. This was a marriage alliance … Continue reading Bad Alliances

In the same way, we sometimes look around to see if anyone is watching … Continue reading Looking Around
Bad Mixture
My daughter is always mixing drinks. She often takes different juices and mixes them together.

I’ve had orange juice with Sprite, but the thought of this possible mixture did not sound like … Continue reading Bad Mixture
Settling Down With God: A Study of 1 Kings
This book is a 10 Session Bible Study book great for both individual study or group Bible study. I just finished working on this new project, Settling Down With God: A Study of 1 Kings. Funny enough, when God gave me the title, I initially thought that He wanted me to write about coping with … Continue reading Settling Down With God: A Study of 1 Kings
Thinking Negatively
The story of the woman by the well always has been one of my favourites for so many reasons. After studying John 4 more closely, I read up on verse 29 and it got me thinking. Verse 29 says, “Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done, this is … Continue reading Thinking Negatively
