“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.   He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  Thou preparest a table...

Since the time change this year, almost every other day I said that I was going to change the air filter on the furnace.  Time passed by; day after day, and week after week, and I really had no excuse for not changing the filter.  Well, Thursday, I finally stopped stalling, stopped putting off a simple task that would benefit the whole household and all who entered.  Calling it...

“Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.” (Psalm 5:19b NIV) If You use Alexa or Siri, I am sure “she” did not comply with your request at some time or the other.  It happens to me all the time.  When I asked her to play “Be Thankful for What You’ve Got,” she played that old song that said, “You may not drive a great bug car, diamond in the back, big white...

“Now after John was arrested and taken into custody, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the good news .  As Jesus was walking by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Simon’s brother, Andrew, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.  And...

“Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As on the day of trial in the wilderness, Where your fathers put Me to the test, And saw My works for forty years.  Therefore I was angry with this generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways’; As I swore in My anger,...

“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.  He will glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you.  All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.”...

Definition: “The sense of being in particular place and time.” {Psychology Dictionary, April 2023) I was moved by the Spirit this morning to write this meditation, for several reasons.  One reason is that it can benefit the church.  Second, it can benefit the workplace.  Third it can benefit the home.  Before I type one more sentence, let me encourage you to share what you read with at...
