Today’s Scripture: Matthew 4:4, ESV- “But he answered, "It is written, "'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" I have certainly found life in the Word of God but have come to know that I need the Spirit of God to live on every word. The Holy Spirit helps us and leads us. I am praying now that I ...

God, I am trusting You.
Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 10:23, NLT –“Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” We often make life more complicated than it needs to be.

I go and tell others that I have found the Messiah.
John 1:41, NIV- “The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).” Who was the first person you wanted to tell when you found the Messiah?

It has been my experience ... Continue Reading »

And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.” This affirmation of God feels more like a confession to God, but I could so relate that I had to share. The Holy ... Continue Reading »
I am choosing what God delights in.
Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 65:12, NKJV- “Therefore I will number you for the sword, And you shall all bow down to the slaughter; Because, when I called, you did not answer; When I spoke, you did not hear, But did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight.”” We have a choice today. My spiritual journey, my affirmatic study of ... Continue Reading »
I affirm Jesus to be alive.
Acts 25:19, KJV- “But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.” The Jewish Sadducees and the Pharisees were attempting to convince the Roman rulers to kill Paul in Acts 25, yet he affirmed Jesus to be alive. I am always surprised when I come across the actual ... Continue Reading »
