Recently, I was struck by the word “faithful.” I couldn’t help thinking that faithful must mean, “full of faith.” Okay, that made me realize that it’s unlikely I’ve ever been “full” of faith. I’ve had some faith, but I’m probably down a quart or two most of the time, when it comes to “full” faith. […]
Have you ever considered what it really means that God knew you before you even arrived on planet earth? Psalm 139 tells us that God knew us as we were knit in our mother’s womb. That means God knew when you’d be here, and what you’d do with your life. He watched over your choices, […]
The culture that spawned the “Me Generation” and the ideals of “looking out for number one,” has become part of everything we know. We applaud individualism and striving to find our personal best, and much of the time, it’s a really good thing. A part of me wonders though, if we can actually over-do a […]
I’ve always loved this Scripture from Hebrews 10:24. It says, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Wow! What an idea! Sometimes we ponder what it means to have a purpose in life. Often when we do that, we’re looking for that exceptional thing we can […]
When you lose your car keys, it’s irritating, especially if you were trying to get somewhere and the clock is ticking! If you lose your gloves, you probably only miss them when there’s a chill in the air. Jesus talked about the woman who lost one of her ten coins, and about the shepherd who […]
So, as we consider the whole idea of forgiveness, it might be worth it to look at why God is so much better at it than humans are. After all, God forgives you and me every time we ask Him to. He forgives and then He lets the errors of our ways go, so neither […]
Sometimes we struggle with our connections to others. We feel estranged from people in the family, because they simply can’t understand what we’re going through. We’re still hurt by the recent conversation we had with a friend and so we don’t feel like sharing our concerns with them right now. Beyond that, we simply aren’t […]
Isaiah 44 reminds us that God was pretty specific about His role in the matters of planet earth. He said, “I am the Lord, who made all things. I alone stretched out the heavens. By myself I made the earth and everything in it.” That is certainly clear! For me, that begs the question about […]
If you’ve ever watched one of those amazing circus performances, where one person stands on the shoulders of another, and then another, and then another, you probably can’t help rubbing your own tired shoulders and wondering how they do it. After all, each one has to keep things balanced, and the one holding everyone up […]
Recently, I was able to spend some time with my grandchildren. They are a delight in every way and one of the greatest gifts they give me is the reminder to see the world with wonder. When my four-year-old grandson announced to me something he had learned from when he was a little kid, I […]
