Who Are We To Love?

Lord, what are human beings that you care for them, mere mortals that you think of them? Psalms 144:5 As I found myself in Psalms today 144:5 leaped out at me. I couldn’t help but to appreciate these humble words written by David. Our finite lives may be something easy to comprehend as working classContinue reading “Who Are We To Love?”

While We Wait

Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay in Habakkuk 2:3 I’ll be honest, I’ve never taken the time to read Habakkuk before. In fact its such a small book in the Bible I wouldn’t blame anyone for not even knowing they flipped past it before. I do believe,Continue reading “While We Wait”

A God Sense of Humor

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3 (NIV) Let’s face it.

(Don’t worry, Jonny, I wasContinue reading “Change in Connection”

Obstinate

When you are searching the scripture looking for a word to jump out at you obstinate is not the word you want speaking to your soul. However, that’s the word I landed on tonight. Maybe it was because its one of those words that I can use in a sentence, but have to look itContinue reading “Obstinate”

The Splinter

In youthful bliss, he let his imagination conquer the day. The sun shown bright; warming his skin to the point that a cool breeze would send goosebumps up his slightly sun burnt arms. In his world the playground was his kingdom and he ruled over the empty swings that creaked in the wind. Though heContinue reading “The Splinter”

In The Moment

“I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. John 16:20 There is something to be said about how much time Jesus invested preparing His disciples for what wasContinue reading “In The Moment”
