“Write these words...” (Exodus 34:27b ESV) As I sat down to write this Sunday morning, turning on my computer and waiting for with patience for it to open when it got good and ready, I was at a loss for words to write.  But after the computer had tested my patience, failing in its efforts to detain me from fulfilling my task of writing a meditation, inspired by the Spirit, the...

“Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good; his love is eternal!  Repeat these words in praise to the Lord, all you whom he has saved.” (Psalm 107:1-2a Good News Translation) A family sets down for dinner.  The matriarch of the house asks everyone to bow their heads so that she may bless the food.  She starts out by saying, “We thank you Lord,” and as she continues to pray,...

“Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.  And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little distance from the land.  And He sat down...

“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must answer.” (Hebrews 4:13 NASB) I got up earlier that usual Tuesday morning, about 12:55 a.m. to be exact.  Monday night, just so you will have the proper perspective, I turned the TV off at 10:00 p.m.  You do the math!  Back to early Tuesday morning.  I...
