Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 62:3 NLT: The LORD will hold you in his hand for all to see--a splendid crown in the hand of God. I find it strange that there is so much comfort in something I can’t understand. Seriously, being held in the hand of the LORD? That is a big hand and yet somehow I believe it, I feel it and I know it. Just as Isaiah was ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I have a joyful heart.
Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 17:22 ESV A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

There is something about a deep abiding spiritual joy ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I will plan with my heart and trust God for my steps.
Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 16:9 NIV: In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Are you a planner?

Affirmation of God: I put my trust in the LORD.
Today’s Scripture: Isaiah 57:13 NLT: Let's see if your idols can save you when you cry to them for help. Why, a puff of wind can knock them down! If you just breathe on them, they fall over!

Affirmation of God: I am praying to the great and powerful God, the LORD Almighty.
Today’s Scripture: Jeremiah 32:18 NLT Tyndale: You are loving and kind to thousands, though children suffer for their parent’s sins. You are the great and powerful God, the LORD Almighty.
