Today’s verse aligns again with the last few devotions regarding our interconnectedness. In 1 Corinthians 12:7, we read: “Each believer is given continuous revelation by the Holy Spirit to benefit not just himself but all” (TPT). The continuous revelation we receive does not only benefit ourselves — it benefits all people. Why? We are all … Continue reading Continuous Revelation

Listen and Wait
In Psalm 85, the Psalmist asks God for restoration and revival and for a fresh outpouring of God’s love. The Psalmist says, “Now I’ll listen carefully to Your voice and wait to hear whatever You say.” As I consider this verse, I cannot help but be struck by two things. The “now” and the “listen” … Continue reading Listen and Wait
Station Yourself
In life, we find ourselves being stationed in places awaiting something to happen. For some people, this means stationing ourselves outside a ticket place, waiting for tickets to go on sale for a popular concert. Or maybe stationing outside of a shopping center for a big sale is your cup of tea. We station ourselves … Continue reading Station Yourself
Mouse Issues
I have been having issues with my computer’s wireless mouse. Sometimes it seems like it’s working and then I suddenly am moving around the mouse and nothing is happening. It has been a big issue because it keeps happening and delays my work. The frustration level started to get high and the mouse faced the … Continue reading Mouse Issues
I Am Stiff Necked
We recently did a Bible study where the term “stiff necked” came up. Many people asked what does it mean to be “stiff necked”? Jokingly, I told them I am stiff necked, hence the reason I see a chiropractor. The truth is, yes, I have a stiff neck that needed extensive therapy. My lower back … Continue reading I Am Stiff Necked
The Commands of God
In the past four days as I have taken my dogs for their daily walks, I have encountered unleashed, uncontrolled dogs. Today’s dog was a bit comical. As her master called for her to get back to her side of the street, she slowly inched her way in our direction. It was as if she … Continue reading The Commands of God
Voice of God
One of the topics people discuss with me most is hearing from God. Many people expect to hear from God with an audible voice like in the movies. I guess they assume a voice like Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones will speak to them, and if they do not hear a voice, God is … Continue reading Voice of God
Crinkling Plastic
As I turned around to head out the door and walk my sister out, I told the dogs to stay. Max and Marci both stopped and stood at attention. They immediately obeyed my words and I continued onward to see my sister out. But as I was opening the door and saying goodbye, I could … Continue reading Crinkling Plastic
Dead End or God Delight
“A whole, healed, put-together life right now, with more and more of life on the way.” It is possible. There’s no 12 step program, no self improvement book, no quick fix. Today’s passage speaks of the “delight of listening to God telling you.” There’s always a choice. God’s delight or a dead end.I have come … Continue reading Dead End or God Delight
Be Present
Be alert. Be present. God promises to do something brand new in our lives—in each of our lives if we let Him. In this passage He says that “it’s bursting out.” Other translations ask, “Do you not see it?” or “Will you not be aware of it?” And these are valid questions for us all. … Continue reading Be Present
