THE NIGHT LIGHT

“The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your life.”  (Psalm 121:5-7 Amplified Bible) (Correction: Hopefully, your inquisitive mind or your insistent Bible study habits caused you to practice your normal initiative and check out yesterday’s...

MRS. WILSON’S MAGNIFYING GLASS

“Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth , before the evil days come or the years draw near when you will say , “I have no enjoyment and delight in them”; before the sun and the light, and the moon and the stars are darkened , and the clouds return after the rain ;in the day when the keepers of the house (hands, arms) tremble, and the strong men (feet, knees) bow...

BE CAREFUL LITTLE EYES

“Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. It is the quickening of the conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose--all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable.” (Quote by Archbishop William...

A PAJAMA STORY

“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.”  (Matthew 7:3-5 ESV) It’s...

THE SEAT OF HONOR

“Now Jesus began telling a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been selecting the places of honor at the table...”  (Luke 14:7 Amplified Bible) How special did you feel when you were seated at the head table at a conference, a wedding, or some special gathering where you or a close friend was honored?  You felt pretty special, didn’t you?  You saw it as...

IT’S A GOOD THING!

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation[.”  (Psalm 42:5 ESV) Talking to yourself is a good thing!  No, you are right, I have no scholastic studies to support my statement. I have not gathered data from any particular age group. I have read no books on self-talk.  But I will stand firm on...

WHAT IF?

“But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the perfect day.”  (Proverbs 4:18 Amplified) I have seen a few books entitled, “What If,” but the content of this meditation is very different than the topics those published authors focused on. What I will share has nothing to do with how history would have been different if...

ANOTHER ONE

“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.  But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.” (Ephesians 4:1-7  NASB) This meditation is another one on “one.”  I received an email yesterday...

ONE

“Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”  (Ephesians 4:1-3 NASB) When we think of the number “one,” we normally think of it representing not much...
