The Bible says that the godly have a lasting foundation. The foundation that is lasting is the one that is built on the Rock, Jesus Christ. We know that we have a choice. We can build our life on sinking sand or on the Rock. We can choose. The Bible also tells us that if … Continue reading Lasting Foundation

Good Judgment
Proverbs 9:10 says that knowledge of God produces good judgment. As we get to know God more, we will grow as people of God. We will dig deeper into His Word. We will seek Him more, and when we seek Him, we will find Him. With our eyes fixed on Him and His Word, we … Continue reading Good Judgment
Deeply Written
When I want to save something to remember, I will write things on my hands or take photos with my phone. As well, I am a frequent user of sticky notes on my computer. Doing these things keeps me on track to remember what needs to be remembered. The Bible speaks a lot about remembering … Continue reading Deeply Written
Just Do It
When you have the power to do something for someone who deserves it, the Bible tells us to just do it. Help them. Do not withhold good. It sounds like a grand idea, but yet we often fall short. We will tell people maybe later or we will totally dismiss the thought of helping at … Continue reading Just Do It
The Best Part
When I was growing up, I remember being held accountable for grades based on the actual grade. I was supposed to earn certain grades. Bottom line. I do things differently with my children. I want them to do their best, whether their best is an A or a B or whatever—I want them to know … Continue reading The Best Part

God promises to share His heart, to … Continue reading Share My Heart
Stirred Up
When Korah had a problem with Moses and Aaron, it wasn’t a matter of taking it to Moses and Aaron and dealing with it. Ironically, the problem wasn’t with Moses and Aaron, but with God, because He was the One Who put these two men in their positions. Nonetheless, Korah stirred up the entire community … Continue reading Stirred Up
Wouldn’t It Be Better
One of my favorite proverb is Proverbs 16:9: “We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps” (NIV). We make our plans. God determines our steps. Often, we think we know better. We have these ideas or desires, and of course, it’s the greatest thing ever. We have to do it. We get … Continue reading Wouldn’t It Be Better
A Different Attitude
After the twelve spies surveyed the land, only two came back with a good report. Ten men came back to share their fear of the strong people of the land. When the people were speaking negatively about the situation, Caleb boldly stepped forward. The Bible says that he “silenced the people before Moses.” He exclaimed, … Continue reading A Different Attitude
