Today’s Scripture: Ezra 9:5 NLT: At the time of the sacrifice, I stood up from where I had sat in mourning with my clothes torn. I fell to my knees and lifted my hands to the LORD my God.

Affirmation of God: Jesus and God the Father define me.
Today’s Scripture: Galatians 1:1 (ESV): Paul, an apostle--not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— Paul made it clear who defined him as an apostle: Jesus and God the Father. The same should be true for us. In Galatians 1:10, Paul’s truth is our reality, if we are still trying to ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I find my way in the Word.
Today’s Scripture: Psalms 1:6 ESV: for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

I fully intended to write on the ... Continue Reading »

Affirmation of God: I know the fullness of joy.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 16:11 ESV: You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. David tells us here in Psalm 16 that we must take refuge in God. I certainly agree with David that I have no good apart from God and we can see this in the world around us too can’t ...

Affirmation of God: God is my God.
Today’s Scripture: Leviticus 25:38 ESV I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. God has us where He wants us doesn’t he?
