God loves His children and as our Father God wants us to obey Him. It seems like a reasonable request from a Father who knows our every care; who hears our every cry; who provides for us daily and most of all, who sent His Son to die for our sins. Saul was the first king of Israel. He was anointed by the prophet, Samuel. God instructed Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites because they had been ravaging Israel and…..
If you watch TV and the commercials, you will never be satisfied. You will never be as attractive as the people on TV. You will never have as big a house as the rich and famous. You will never have the most expensive and fastest car. So what satisfies us? If you read magazines, you will never be thin enough. Your life will not come close to the stars who have become our heroes. The tragedy is that God is…..
With the election only a few days away, we are all wondering what the results will be. Who will be elected and what will it mean for our nation. I pray for our nation every day and ask God to send us a Godly leader who can bring us back to “One Nation under God.” America is in a crisis. But, did you know that God has every crisis in His hands? He is always there for those who love…..
I can’t believe when I am surprised by God. After all, He is the God of the Universe. God performs miracles in my life daily. I feel His presence and love. I am thankful for His grace and mercy. I had a book signing at Barnes and Noble on Saturday. I was very excited about selling and signing my book, Good Morning, God! I did sell some, but the greatest blessing was how many times I got to witness to…..
Just as you love your children and friends to call upon you for help, the Lord wants us to know He is faithful and that we can call on Him for everything. He is a good, good Father. Jeremiah 33:2-3 says: “This is what the Lord says, He who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it – the Lord is His name. Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable…..
We have so much to be thankful for. God is so good and He loves us more than we can know. He is in our life and His Spirit is in our heart. That should make me want to shout praises to Him. I get so busy now that I’m retired. I can’t believe it. I thought I would be a lady of leisure and sit around and read and eat bon bons. Au contraire. Each day brings many things…..
In Mathew 5 Jesus is giving His Sermon on the Mount. He is addressing the people in what are called The Beatitudes. He is telling them if they trust in the Lord, they will be blessed. Jesus promises blessings. Mathew 5:6 I love verse 6 where it says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness? Do you truly seek the Lord’s will for your life? Jesus…..
With the tragic state of our country and the world, it is so important that we all purposely pray for revival. We need to be renewed and revitalized. We need more prayer and less worry. No matter how you vote, just please vote. It is important that this country has a leader who will bring us back to “One Nation under God!” And pray for your candidate to be that person. Pray that the Holy Spirit will so indwell them…..
You know that Philippians 4:4 is one of my favorite scriptures. Paul tells us to Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! It is so comforting to know that no matter what is going on in your world, the Lord is right at your side. I just received the tragic news of a friend whose cancer has spread. My heart is broken for her. After fighting so hard and enduring so much, the treatments have not…..
If I asked you what kind of day you were having, how would you reply? Is your day great, just ok or really bad? Or would you say having a Mountaintop Experience? I realize there are circumstances that can ruin your day, week or even life. Things happen that we cannot control. However, I’ve noticed that most of the time my life seems pretty mundane. I get up and drink coffee with the Lord. That is one of the best…..
