It was my birthday! I was singing my usual praise song to Jesus in morning devotions and the words were bugging me instead of being heartfelt. They were “Be like Jesus, this my song, In the home and in the throng; Be like Jesus all day long! I would be like Jesus.” But even thoughContinue reading “What I learned from Homeless Michael”

PROTOCOL IN PRAYERS
Now this is the confidence we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. I John 5:14,15 I was in a prayer group for missionsContinue reading “PROTOCOL IN PRAYERS”
Thanks for Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is a really hard time for a lot of us. Some of us are going to be with family that are difficult for us to like, say nothing of love. Some of us feel really small and rejected by our family and we just hate that feeling. Some of us don’t have any familyContinue reading “Thanks for Thanksgiving?”
I Should Have Said…
Yesterday I had a conversation with someone and after I we parted I thought about the perfect comment that I should have said. Has that ever happened to you? It happens to me so often! I remember after the fact what I should have done or what I could have replied, but after the interactionContinue reading “I Should Have Said…”
Worship devotional on Psalm 103
I’ve been camping in on Psalm 103 for a number of months now and this Psalm has helped me worship the Lord. You know, we can just read the Psalm and that’s a huge comfort but Holy Spirit is kind of directing me to “do” the Psalm. What do I mean? Well there are instructionsContinue reading “Worship devotional on Psalm 103”
Where’s the Faith?
My church is focusing on Hebrews 11 during our fast. Today we focus on Isaac in Hebrews 11. What a strange verse about faith is Hebrews 11:20 concerning Isaac: “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.” Really? Remember Jacob tricked his dad into giving that blessing? (Genesis 27). Remember EsauContinue reading “Where’s the Faith?”
Ask
Prayer is like a pizza someone said. There’s many different slices to eat. There’s worship, praise, prophecy, declarations, supplications, intercession, listening prayer, waiting, confession, singing, shouting, whispering, silence, thanksgiving, and more. There’s so much to prayer! Now, I’ve heard sermons on, “Prayer isn’t just giving a wish list to God.” So naturally I was leaningContinue reading “Ask”
Wait for God
Words for the church at large are powerful! I don’t often get statements or verses that are for the church at large but this summer I did. Would you like to hear it? “God is calling the Church back to be carried by the glory of God!” What does that mean? Well, perhaps each ofContinue reading “Wait for God”
Flip It!
My grandson has a YouTube channel about trampoline flips! It is so fun to watch him do the doubles, triples, and all the other variations of flips he does. He does them on grass, on sand, in trampoline arcades, neighbor’s backyards—all sorts of places. After months and years of diligent practice he’s become a masterContinue reading “Flip It!”
Faith in the Creator
Yesterday in church service, the announcements-greeter asked us all, “Who likes to fast?!” She asked it with joy and exuberance! No one cheered, but three people yelled out, “Yes!” I don’t enjoy fasting, I’ll admit it. But I love that our church has church-wide fasts together. We study the same scripture and have videoContinue reading “Faith in the Creator”
