Do Not Fear

Word of the Day

I am really learning to appreciate Isaiah as I mature as a follower of Christ. There is so much wisdom found there that is applicable to our lives even today. I remember being a child, a new believer, even a young man but not much of a follower and discounting the Old Testament as, well, Old. I couldn't see that it was full of Christ. I recently had a "close call" at work...

Word of the Day

"What wings are to a bird, and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul. " Corrie Ten Boom "...when we love God, we naturally run to Him-frequently and zealously. Jesus didn't command that we have a regular time with Him each day. Rather, He tells us to 'love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' He called this the 'first a...

PTSD in the Old Testament?

Word of the Day

I am blessed to work (in ministry) with a man who not only shares the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) diagnosis with me, he has had it since 1967. "JB" has 4 purple hearts and is probably the main reason that PTSD is recognized by the VA (Veterans Administration) and DOD (Department of Defense). We have talked recently about how "new" is PTSD or even is it? As I tal...

How I'm Fighting For JOY

Word of the Day

John Piper wrote a book called "When I don't desire God: How to Fight for Joy." To be honest, I've never finished the book, but that title has always stuck out to me....How to Fight for Joy. It seems like those two things, fighting and joy, are opposites. I've been realizing more and more lately, however, that this is one of those paradoxes of following Jesus. I am natural...

The Voice of Reason... or The Voice of God

Walk with Jesus

David was running from Saul, staying undercover and out of sight was top of mind. Saul was on a killing spree and killed 85 priests along with women children because one of the priests gave David some bread and a spear. Hiding in caves, hiding in the forest, David was on the run. Then he gets some news: Now they told David, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against K...

Channeling My Inner Isrealite

Word of the Day

Recently my wife and I found ourselves going through a bout of what really are minor inconveniences/disappointments/changes including having our daughters little pre-school close down. Things that got us frustrated and even wondering what is God doing, is He really doing anything, why isn't He answering us, hello McFly (well didn't really say that one, but felt that way). ...

Word of the Day: Proverbs 22:3; Psalm 51; Isaiah 1

Word of the Day

Proverbs 22:3; Psalm 51; Isaiah 1 Today there is a common theme about sin and what God wants us to do. He is even giving a warning in the Proverbs verse about being aware of sin and that a prudent man sees the evil coming and avoids the sin. I catch myself many times battling the mind. When I am doing my yard it seems that I do a lot of thinking to myself which is very da...

Word of the Day: Isaiah 55:9

Word of the Day

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higherthan your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9 I don't know about you but sometimes God feels so distant, so far away, so not there. Circumstances can seem so insurmountable, so beyond human understanding. We emotionally translate that into "God doesn't care about me, He's abandoned me." F...

Reading: Isaiah 25:4-9 'Lavishness for His People' 'Lord of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow,And refined, aged wine'. v.6 The nature of God is a giving nature.
