Today’s Scripture: Psalm 51:10, KJV- “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” A wild horse must be broken. We must experience brokenness. David gave us Psalm 51 out of his brokenness where he found the refilling Spirit of joy. At times, with our minds and lives racing we cannot fathom joy. True joy comes from ... Continue Reading »
Thank You God for choosing us.
Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 1:4, NLT- “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God’s Word is amazing! Our LORD is so far beyond our conception it is humbling. Yet, from wherever we are and whatever we possess, we can praise Him. I am struggling to believe that over all these ... Continue Reading »
Thank You God for being with us.
Today’s Scripture: Matthew 1:23, NKJV- “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” During this time of the year, the celebration of the birth of Immanuel meaning God with us can get lost in all the Christmas activities.

This statement by Peter in 1 Peter 2:3 sounds both like a conclusion and a commencement. As we read forwards and backwards to better understand God’s Word we are filled with amazement and ...

God is perfecting His love in us.
Today’s Scripture: 1 John 4:12, NKJV- “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.” Loving others is not easy. In the flesh and in the emotions of the day we must turn to God. Words are easy, love is not. We are given hope and grace in 1 John 4:16 that states “God is love.” ... Continue Reading »
The truth of Jesus is in us.
Today’s Scripture: 1 John 1:8, KJV- “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” It is interesting that the Apostle John wrote out of his own firsthand experiences with Jesus in the flesh and yet he writes to teach us that the truth of Jesus in “in us.” Our life with God is designed to be lived with Him in ...
