THE HOME CHOICE

“In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2 The Amplified Bible) I enjoy watching HGTV shows, especially the ones where couples are looking at options for a new home. The couple usually have different preferences in what they would like to see in a new home. One likes open concept...

WHO WILL PEOPLE SEE IN YOU TODAY?

If this was Sunday afternoon, shortly after you had left the place of worship, most of you reading these meditations regularly, I’m quite sure you would quickly reply to the question above with something like, ‘People will see the Christ that lives in me.” Some will even borrow a saying they really don’t understand, “Blessed and highly favored.”  Then again, just maybe, one would...

SIGHT FOR THE BLIND

“The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord raises those who are brought down; the Lord loves the righteous.” (Psalm 146:8 Modern English Version) I can’t remember where I heard the following quote last week, “There are none so blind as those who will not see first.”  But the truth of these words was so accurate that I had to search and find who shared such wisdom. I...

PRAYING FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS

“After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel. The Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight and served the images of Baal. They abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They went after other gods, worshiping the gods of the people around them. And they...

FREE RESTORATION

I’ll tell you a story like I would have told my children when they were younger. They heard stories about Mr. Hardhead, Mr. Windowopen, Mr. Trippenfall, and Mr. Smartmouth.  But this story is for you. So, we have some different characters. Are you ready? Here we go! Larry Yardston was working in his yard, trying to grow grass where he had a large, 35-year-old oak tree removed. Mr. Yardston...

THE COUPLE LOOKING IN THE WRONG SECTION!

At a local bookstore, I went to see if I could find some books to add to my library, specifically books that would give insight to the Psalms. I didn’t want to be spoiled by the availability of expository accounts found online, but preferred to peruse the published, printed word of scholarly theologians who had diligently pursued the word of God, searching, seeking the pure truth it contained...

DO IT WHILE YOU CAN OR DO IT FOR WHEN YOU CAN’T!

“There is precious treasure and oil in the home of the wise, but a foolish person swallows it up.” (Proverbs 21:20 NASB) There is a twofold purpose behind this Sunday meditation. First, when it comes to spending your money, you can buy all the things that make you look as though you fall in the group referred to as the rich and famous while struggling to pay rent, stressing about having to...

WHEN YOU COME TO YOUR REPHIDIM…

“Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek . Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses said, and fought with Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the hilltop. Now when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and when he...

HELP FOR ANXIOUS PEOPLE…INCLUDING YOU AND ME!

“Teach me Your way, Lord, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies. Do not turn me over to the desire of my enemies, for false witnesses have risen against me, and the violent witness. I certainly believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage;Yes, wait for the Lord.!” (Psalm...

SO, YOU WANT A SHORT ONE?

“…and when one blind man leads another, both fall into a ditch.” (Matthew 15:14 Good News Translation) This meditation is for those who question whether or not I can do “short,” referring to the length of the meditations at times. Well, it does not have to be a Monday for me to do “short!” I can do “short.” Let me show you! Have you ever heard that saying, “Like the blind...
