My dog Max is very food driven. When I have food, his eyes are glued on me. It is his desire that I share whatever food I have available. When I am getting Max and Marci their breakfast and dinner, Max watches me closely. It’s as if he is watching to make sure that I … Continue reading Unjust Scales

They Rejoiced With Her
I love the picture of Luke 1:58. Imagine this woman who desired a child for so long. Imagine what she went through for so many years as a barren woman. She likely gave up on having a child. From reading Luke 1, we can see that Zechariah and Elizabeth were praying for a child. Perhaps … Continue reading They Rejoiced With Her
In Your Heart
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it (Proverbs 4:23 NIV). Your heart determines your steps. Your heart directs your journey through life. 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
Until I Become Prayer
Psalm 109:4 says, “Though I love them, they stand accusing me like Satan for what I’ve never done. I will pray until I become prayer itself (TPT). Our focus for today: “Until I become prayer itself” or “I give myself to prayer.” The Psalmist was in a tough spot. He was trying to love people … Continue reading Until I Become Prayer
Prisoners To Our Pain
Sometimes I feel like a prisoner to pain. My body often attacks itself. As I try to exercise, doing something as simple as walking, my body turns on itself. When I hope for freedom and for success — it is pain that gets in the way. I am sidelined to rest because the pain is … Continue reading Prisoners To Our Pain

Today’s verse speaks of a desire to live honorably in everything. This means wanting to do what is right and good. We should all want to do what is right and … Continue reading Honorably in Everything
Established by Grace
What a warning we find in today’s verse. We read in Hebrews 13:9: “Don't be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be established by grace and not by food regulations, since those who observe them have not benefited (CSB). The writer of Hebrews is speaking … Continue reading Established by Grace
Mingled
There are certain items that can become mingled with or in other items with disastrous results. Imagine if some peanuts are mingled within your meal and you have a peanut allergy. What if it’s not an allergy but a great food dislike — for me, if you put a small amount of cilantro in my … Continue reading Mingled
What They Wanted
I definitely like to eat — a lot. Ever since I was young, food has been a comfort. As I got older, certain foods were more comforting than others. Do you have go-to items for stress relief? For comfort? To escape after a difficult day? For me, coffee is a comfort. Chocolate is a comfort … Continue reading What They Wanted
