Affirmation of God: I am listening to Jesus.

Today’s Scripture: Mark 4:3 ESV: "Listen! A sower went out to sow."   Jesus says Listen! Yes, that is an exclamation point and I struggle to write the words “I Listen” but this is an affirmation of who I hope to be in Christ and not necessarily where I am. We just need to receive the Word of God and sow them. As we sow, Jesus is teaching us what ... Continue Reading »

Affirmation of God: I am following Jesus.

Today’s Scripture: Mark 1:17 ESV And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” We can make following Jesus hard, can’t we? Jesus did NOT say to Simon and Andrew: Ok, go figure out what to do and try to be who I want you to be.  He said “Follow me and I will MAKE you become. With one hand still on my nets and ...

Affirmation of God: God, be merciful to me, a sinner!

Today’s Scripture: Luke 18:13 ESV: But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ Humbling ourselves before God is cleansing and empowering. Crying out passionately to God in our sins justifies us. We can so easily be like the Pharisee in these ... Continue Reading »

Today’s Scripture: When he saw them he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went they were cleansed.

We can learn from these steps ... Continue Reading »

Affirmation of God: I am celebrating with gladness.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 15:32 ESV:  It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.   Ah, wise words from a wise father. The prodigal son had returned and the father was throwing a celebration that was not pleasing to the other brother who was feeling sorry for himself. I have ... Continue Reading »

Affirmation of God: I am praying.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 11:2 ESV: And he said to them, "When you pray, say: "Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.   The disciples had just asked Jesus to teach them to pray. Jesus begins, “when you pray.” This is not an “if” you pray. Regretfully, I have spent the majority of my former life praying little. Although, like the ... Continue Reading »

Affirmation of God: I love much.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 7:47 ESV: Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven--for she loved much. But he, who is forgiven little, loves little." How much do you love Jesus? Really, how much? “I LOVE MUCH” sounds awkward but in light of this story of the woman with Jesus it makes perfect sense. Can you relate? This woman who had ... Continue Reading »
