“Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens!  I see that in every way you are very religious.  For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god.  So, you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.  The God who made the...

“…my cup brims with blessing.” (Psalm 23:5b The Message Bible) There is a song that the outstanding choir occasionally sings at our church, but it is one of those songs that you could listen to often and feel the exact same way as you did the first time you heard it, overwhelmed with joy, and lifted up.  The song is entitled, “I Wanna Say Thank You.”  While the composer of the...

“To you alone, O Lord, to you alone, and not to us, must glory be given because of your constant love and faithfulness.” (Psalm 115:1 Good News Translation) Tuesday morning, after getting up and working, doing the Lord’s work, starting the day early, a little after 1:00 a.m., I laid back down around 3:45 a.m.  I was having trouble going back to sleep so I decided to pray for awhile and...

“But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit   and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers.” (John 4:23 The Amplified Bible) I have a tee-shirt that says, “I’m a writer.  Watch what you do.  I just might write about you.”  The shirt don’t lie.  What is the point of telling you about the shirt? ...

“Jesus was at Bethany, a guest of Simon the Leper.  While he was eating dinner, a woman came up carrying a bottle of very expensive perfume.  Opening the bottle, she poured it on his head.  Some of the guests became furious among themselves.  “That’s criminal!  A sheer waste!  This perfume could have been sold for well over a year’s wages and handed out to the poor.”  They...

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.  For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the...

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (I Corinthians 15:58 KJV) God orchestrated a series of actions to let me know something.  For I know beyond any doubt, that it was the Lord quieting my thoughts when I was wondering if my daily meditations were reaching...

“And behold, a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (I Kings 19:13b NASB) Before you continue reading, insert your name in the place of Elijah’s name in the opening verse.  Once you have done that, proceed. Now I know I am not the only person in the world to be asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be…?”  You know what I’m talking about. ...

“For Ezra had firmly resolved to study the Law of the Lord and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel.” (Ezra 5:7:10 NASB) Oh, I know my children do not like me to mention them by name my writings.  They would rather you guess which one I am referring to when I mention them in these meditations. I used Michael’s name today, but you can think about...

“Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you’re never going to see them again. God will fight the battle for you.  And you? You keep your mouths shut!” God said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Speak to the Israelites. Order them to get moving. Hold your staff high and...
