Lord, You are my praise (Deut. 10:21)! When I recount all the wonderful things You have done I stand amazed. The Lord of all, the God of the universe chooses me. Thank You God! I love the book of Deuteronomy in the Bible—it retells the story of how You brought the Israelites out…

Deny Christ
I, like most Christians would, with Peter emphatically deny that we would ever deny Christ. “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you,” Matthew 26:33. I could say that with all self assurance. I cannot imagine ever denying Christ—I love Him so much. I can even imagine torture and my being…

This is not new, nor did it originate with me, but as I was reading my Bible this morning what I was prompted to do was to insert my name in what Jesus was saying to His followers. [Please note, that this promise is only for you if you are following Him.] So, as…

I was reading a book recently and it mentioned people we are grateful for; I immediately thought of my grandma. Then today I was reading in Proverbs and I came upon this verse and again thought of grandma. I sure hope I leave a legacy as rich as the one my grandma has left for…

I’m in a slump like I’ve never been before. This is the darkest time in my life. I will never get back on top. These are things we might say when things are looking really bad. You could probably add to this list by the bucketload. STOP! Don’t go there. I want us to look…
