Ok God I get it. Sitting in the woods over the weekend I opened my bible to Mark 5. There Mark tells the story of Legion. The demon possessed man who lived among the tombs with his unclean spirit. We were told “no one could tame him.” “When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.” Mark 5:6 NKJV. Here is a guy filled with many demons, ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I prepare my heart for God.
Ridiculous, that is what the word of God is some days. Today is one of them. God has a really good sense of humor and loves to remind us who is in control. I arose early to get in a “quick” affirmation so I could tackle a day filled with many past due activities that are making me nervous. From the Celebrate Recovery lesson 23 “Give” I was ...

Affirmation of God: I can provide comfort to others because of the comfort I have received from God.
Don’t you love it when you find a scripture that says something you just can not verbalize? This weekend as I sat around a campfire I responded to a sincere question about my addictions. “Is it a daily struggle for you?” I have not thought about that time in my life where it was a minute to minute struggle in quite a while. God YOU are so good and ... Continue Reading »

Affirmation of God: I will run the race God has set before me with perseverance.
The course has been laid out and marked. It’s race day are we ready? Of course we are as we just face it with an expectation of endurance and perseverance. I find some peace in the fact that the Holy Scriptures acknowledges how easily we are tripped by sin. Today’s Affirmation comes from Hebrews 12:1: “let us strip off every weight that slows us ...

Affirmation of God: My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
And Job said: "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” (Job 42:5) NIV Job is saying this to GOD. Yes, I had heard OF you BUT NOW I have seen you. The light bulb has gone off; the blinders have been taken away. Bear with me for a second but I beg to ask you can it be this SIMPLE to see God? Yes, so many of us say we don’t see or ...

Affirmation of God: The LORD almighty is with me.
Ahhh, how comforting to know that the LORD Almighty is with us. Can you feel the power and the peace? No? There are times when we don’t feel it and then there are times our heart is bursting and we are full of His power. Do you think whether we feel it or not changes the reality of whether God is there or not? For some reason, my mind always goes ... Continue Reading »
