I love palm trees. It’s my favorite thing about Arizona. I love how they sway in the wind and the noise you hear when you stand under them. Today is Palm Sunday so may we remember JESUS and HIS triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Praise GOD! The people were waiting for a king to rescue them. … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
I recently read this by Paul David Tripp: “But you can have hope because YOUR LORD has complete rule over all the places where you will need HIS promises to become your reality.” HIS promises are always perfect and true…….ours are not because how often do we break our promises? I must admit that I … More HIS PROMISES – OUR REALITY
Recently I read that we are never to take GOD for granted. Don’t take for granted that consistent “small voice” as a favor upon you. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have that small nagging……a feeling that something between me and GOD is not right. I notice a barrier there when I pray, … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
By the time you read this I will be in beautiful Hawaii. I’ve always said it is a place where everywhere you look you see GOD’S steadfast hand in creation. I wanted to leave you then with a little IOU……. I “INCLINE MY HEART TO YOUR TESTIMONIES AND NOT TO SELFISH GAIN.” PSALM 119: 36 … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
Forgive me LORD when I try to run from the hard things. I wrote that once during a difficult time. Don’t we try to avoid and run from the hard painful things? It is our human nature to avoid whatever is painful whether it is physical or mental or deep within our souls. No one likes … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
WE are all born thinking we are something don’t we? We establish ourselves in the world and are quite proud of our accomplishments until GOD gets hold of us. But in all of what we thought was good about us, there is still sin and evil within us. No man is good, no, not one! … More COME SEE WHAT GOD HAS DONE!
I love to write and I love to write by hand. Some just post online directly with their laptops, but I write my posts out by hand. I have many notebooks, all different kinds and I enjoy going back to reread them now and again. But I carefully write knowing GOD watches over my shoulder … More WRITE YOUR STORY…….CAREFULLY
Like a boat or ship that is anchored to a dock or the bottom of the ocean, we in turn should strive to be anchored to the LORD. PSALM 119: 61 “EVIL PEOPLE TRY TO DRAG ME INTO SIN, BUT I AM FIRMLY ANCHORED TO YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.” Being tethered to GOD is a remaining close, … More FIRMLY ANCHORED
Since the beginning of the New Year, I have felt a deeper longing to draw near and go deep with GOD. I feel HIM pulling me (I don’t know where) except to be close, to be at peace no matter what is going on around me, and to walk more confidently with HIM. WHAT IS … More SOUL MAKER
Doxology is a big word to me however it means: doxa (glory) and logos (word). So doxology can mean a hymn or a statement of praise. WHAT IS YOUR PRAISE TODAY? We were created to return praise to our CREATOR, the ALMIGHTY GOD, ELOHIM. ELOHIM is the Hebrew word for GOD and when we praise … More WHAT IS YOUR DOXOLOGY?
