WHEN GOD

“If only you listen obediently to the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all this commandment which I am commanding you today.” (Deuteronomy 15:5 NASB) We have voiced a plethora of sayings that relate to the authority and sovereignty of our God. We say things like, “If God puts it on my heart,” “But God…,” and “God willing,” to name a few. Well, this morning I...

WORTH REMEMBERING

“I will remember your great deeds, Lord; I will recall the wonders you did in the past.” (Psalm 77:11 Good News Translation) Tuesday, I went to an art gallery exhibition where the theme was centered around hope, Esperanza in Spanish. The walls were displayed with paintings by women who had overcome sexual assault and rape experiences. They were not color by number type paintings, but they...

GOD IS GOOD…

“I trust your love, and I feel like celebrating because you rescued me. You have been good to me, Lord, and I will sing about you.” (Psalm 13:5-6 Contemporary English Version) Last week I appealed to readers, requested followers, to respond in one of my meditations, explaining to me the saying, “God is good all the time.” To be honest, I thought my replies by readers would be so great...

DID YOU LOOK OUTSIDE?

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament show His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.  Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,...

DON’T DO GOD LIKE THAT!

What I’m about to say may seem like I’m transparently griping and complaining, but I’m not. Instead, I am hoping! Let me explain. The markwritesdaily.com admin site does not give me any metrics to determine exactly how many people are reading the meditation published on any given day. Instead, I have to look at the replies for a handful of regular responders, and occasional surprise...

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

“One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’ (which translated means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas (which is...

THE BROKEN PIECES IN YOUR LIFE

“The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words.” So, I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.” (Jeremiah 18:1-4 King...

DON’T POINT THE FINGER AT GOD!

“Our God, you are the great God, the awesome, powerful soldier! You are kind and loyal.    You keep your agreement. We have had many troubles, and our troubles are important to you. Bad things happened to all our people, and to our kings and leaders, and to our priests and prophets. Those terrible things have happened from the days of the king of Assyria until today! But God, you were...

HE’S JUST THAT GREAT!

“The Lord is great and is to be highly praised; His greatness is beyond understanding.” (Psalm 145:3 Good News Translation) This is your Sunday Share meditation. Pastor M.R. King spoke on the subject above this past Sunday, “He’s Just That Great.” His inspiration came from a fourth grader who composed a song that described how she feels when she thinks of how great is our...

GOD IS IN THE NEXT!

“When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up—the flames will not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:2 The Living Bible) We have heard the term “when” used to refer to something in the future; a time yet to come. “when I get older,”...
