Do you want to be blessed by God? I know I do. Here’s how: Fear Him. “Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.” Psalm 128:1 But the million dollar (actually more) question is what it means to “fear” the Lord? I’ve heard a lot of definitions over the years. But […]

Sometime ago, I posted a devotional on a simple prayer we can pray for ourselves. It is this: I – Incline my mind to know your thoughts. O – Open my eyes to see your glory. U – Unite my heart to yours that I may feel your compassion. S – Satisfy my soul that I may not sin […]

Ecclesiastes 1:18–For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.  I have never been much of a “conspiracy theorist”, whether in sports or historical speculations about things that have yet to be “uncovered”.  But when I see documentaries that uncover past conspiracies, there is something about the revelation of such […]

Have you ever been loved beyond what you are worth? Someone accepted you and loved you beyond what you deserved.? If you have, then you have experienced a glimpse of God’s love. If you haven’t, I want you to know that God loves you that way. God is tenacious in His love. He does not […]

2 Chronicles 32:7-8–“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for there are more with us than with him. 8 With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to […]
