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 fear the LORD my God, walk in His ways, love Him and serve Him with all of my heart and soul.
And what does the LORD your God require of you? Does that question make you pause? Yes Lord please tell me what I need to do to have all you have promised me. Tell me Lord what it is, I will do it. In Deuteronomy 10:12 Moses poses this question to the people of Israel prior to them going in to take possession of the land God was giving ... Continue Reading »
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: I rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice.
Ok, just one chapter out of 1,189 in the bible. Philippians 4 has many affirmations we can write on our hearts to take on the character of God. Looking for an affirmation? Just go to Philippians 4 and search for one. Below are some of the variations that touched me. Lord, I am overwhelmed by your goodness may there be less of me and more of you. I ...

Affirmation of God: My delight is in the law of the LORD.
If your delight is in the law of the LORD, what do you with that? Have you ever experienced this delight in the law? Quite frankly, I had not. Never. Yes that is a never, period. I have read the law of the LORD for many different reasons but none of them was with DELIGHT. For the first time in my life I can not wait to go to the law of the LORD to ... Continue Reading »
