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: I give thanks to the LORD and praise His name.
What do we have to be thankful for? Let us count the ways. In the Celebrate Recovery Lesson 22 on Gratitude John Baker recommends we create a Gratitude List. First of all, what are we thankful to God for? Can we offer prayers of gratitude to the God who created us? This CR lesson on gratitude took me to Psalm 100. There are only five verses to ...

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.

Affirmation of God: I find life in the Word.
Today’s affirmation is taken from John 1:4: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. Verse 5 shows our natural reaction to this light “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” Can we live but not be alive?

Affirmation of God: God is faithful.
How quickly can we turn from God to self? Many days I cringe when writing out these affirmations because of the focus on “I”.

However today, as I began to read the scriptures this ... Continue Reading »
