Today’s Scripture: Matthew 4:24, NKJV- “Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.” Are you thankful for those who brought You to Jesus when you were sick? I vividly ... Continue Reading »
Jesus, I am falling on my face at Your feet and giving You thanks.
Today’s Scripture: Luke 17:16, ESV- “and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.” I was reminded this morning to return to the feet of Jesus and give Him thanks as fervently as I cry out for His help. I recalled Luke 17 where the one leper, out of ten, turned back to Jesus to thank Him and glorify God with ... Continue Reading »
I love my brothers and sisters.
Today’s Scripture: 1 John 4:21, NASB- “And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.” I laughed out loud at where God “happened” to have me in His commands this morning.

It does not matter how long we have been driving the signs are still there to protect and guide us all. When we fail to follow the signs, we endanger ourselves ... Continue Reading »
LORD, I am crying out loud to You with my voice and asking You for mercy.
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 142:1, NIV- “A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.” The term maskil required a quick search for meaning this morning. Most biblical commentaries agree that this is a musical term for a song of instruction. So I am approaching this Psalm to ... Continue Reading »
I am following that which is good.
Today’s Scripture: 3 John 1:11, KJV- “Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.” Life is complicated and the lines of good and evil can be gray. I may be getting too personal here but since day one of my writings I have done my best to be real to share ... Continue Reading »
