Today’s Scripture: Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. Hebrews 4:11 ESV The writer of Hebrews encourages us to rest in our faith. If we believe the promise of God and the grace of Jesus we can rest in that. So, what is the “same sort of disobedience” we fall into like those in the ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: Jesus defines 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, didn’t he? Jesus and God the Father and not man define who we are. Paul asks a great question in Galatians 1:10: For am I now seeking ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: Peace and quiet.
Ahhhh, Peace and quiet, can you feel it? No? Blessed is the person who has found it, or so they say. I am usually too busy grasping at the wind to find it. But now, I think I am just getting OLD. Funny, but they say when Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes that these were in his “older years”. Well it almost feels blasphemous to say what I seek ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I am full.
Full, satisfied, complete, at peace and thankful are all words that can bring on physical manifestations can’t they? Today in Philippians 4:18 God has focused on a statement by Paul that hits my heart, my soul deep within me. I am full. At the moment we are full we don’t feel we need anything else do we? Whether it was last night’s chicken wings ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I am free indeed.
Freedom, what is true freedom? True freedom seems to leave out the “but” and “ifs”. What good is it to say we have freedom but live life as though we do not. Freedom without reservation, for me, only comes as Jesus promised in John 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (NKJ). Right now this very moment I am totally ...

Affirmation of God: God's love has been poured into my heart by the Holy Spirit.
It’s a God thing. Just has to be sometimes. We humans just don’t have what it takes at times. But God shows Himself at all times. Romans 5:5 is the source for today’s affirmation. In the God’s Word Translation of the Holy Bible this statement stood out. “We’re not ashamed to have this confidence, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I will be what I was made to be.
Wow, God is so very awesome and overwhelming. Give Him the chance and He will blow your mind. God has truly humbled me today. Sometimes God gives us a lot more than we bargain for and makes us realize how very limited we really are. But, at the very same time He builds us up to show how important our little part is. Be all you have and give all ... Continue Reading »
