I have some hearing difficulties due to medical issues. Many times, I won’t hear something but it is not intentional. Of course, there are other moments when we do not hear something because we have our focus elsewhere. For example, we will be watching television and someone is trying to speak with us and we … Continue reading Hearing Difficulties

Deeply Affected
In today’s verse, we read about the power of the Good News. Hebrews 4:2 says: “For we have heard the good news of deliverance just as they did, yet they didn’t join their faith with the Word. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply, for they doubted” (TPT). The ESV notes that, “the message … Continue reading Deeply Affected
You Reap What You Sow
This concept of reaping what you sow has been around forever because it’s how life works. We read about it in the Bible in Galatians 6:7, but we can also see it in the simplicity of gardening. This year, I decided to plant green beans for my daughter’s Russian tortoise and my dogs. I probably … Continue reading You Reap What You Sow
Stand Firm
Today, we focus on the importance of standing firm on the Word. In 2 Corinthians 4:2, Paul says, “We reject every shameful cover-up and refuse to resort to cunning trickery or distorting the Word of God. Instead, we open up our souls to you by presenting the truth to everyone’s conscience in the sight and … Continue reading Stand Firm

Today’s verse says that we should take the words of God and put them in our hearts. With the Word in our hearts, that which is good … Continue reading In Your Heart
Truth of God
Read Psalm 86. Today, we are focusing on God’s truth. In Psalm 86:11, the Psalmist’s request for teaching is so that he can walk in God’s truth. Love rejoices with the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6). The Holy Spirit guides us to all the truth (John 16:13). We are blessed to delight in His truth (Psalm … Continue reading Truth of God
Weeds on My Leg
My neighbor always lets his weeds get 2-3 feet high. Sometimes as I am navigating down the footpath, a weed will rub against my leg and I jump in the air and quickly look down to make sure I’m safe. In my mind, I know that he never addresses the weeds. But even still, I … Continue reading Weeds on My Leg

All Else Worthless
One of things that grieves me the most is seeing people who are not passionate about Jesus. I remember a time when I neglected to live for Jesus, when I was neglecting the Word, neglecting a lot of things. One day priorities changed. I had a thirst for Christ Jesus. I wanted nothing more. If … Continue reading All Else Worthless
Plan and Follow Through
Planning is important. The Bible tells us that before we start building something, we would certainly want to count the cost (Luke 14:28). Even so, planning is not everything. If you can only think up great ideas, but can never see them to completion, what good comes from the ideas? In Proverbs, we read that … Continue reading Plan and Follow Through
