In the Wrestling…
I’m a Jacob. I’d love to be an Esther, or a Joshua, or a Hannah, or a David. I want to see a stronger reflection of Paul or Timothy or Mary or Zipporah or Deborah in my life. But, in truth, more often than not, I’m a Jacob. Why Jacob? Because I’m not very good…

God’s Steadfast Love: A Testimony
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV I’ve always thought it was a little strange that one of the verses I find most encouraging in the Bible comes from a book…

We Will Not Hide It…
Hi, friend! I just wanted to take a moment and boast of our mighty God. I know I shared earlier this year that God has pressed the Book of Psalms into my heart, and at the time, I thought it was for teaching through writing. Lately, though, I’ve come to realize that the emphasis on…

A Heart That Is Wise
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Proverbs 4:23 As we continue to examine God’s faithful care for and transformation of our hearts, I can’t help but think about how God isn’t the only one interested in our hearts. Sweet friend, the enemy is just as interested in the…

Happy Easter Friends!
In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” Luke 24:5-6a Hallelujah! We serve a Risen Savior! I can only imagine the confusion and fear that Jesus’ friends and…

Good Friday Didn’t Feel So Good
And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily…

This is the Day
This is the day the Lord has made;let’s rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 CSB The night Jesus and His disciples celebrated Passover, a night we know as “The Last Supper”, Jewish tradition tells us that they would have sung Psalm 118 as part of their remembrance of God’s faithful love to His people. That…
