Shout praises to the Lord! He is good to us, and his love never fails. Everyone the Lord has rescued from trouble should praise him.” (Psalm 107:1-2 Contemporary English Translation) If you are wondering what you can do today, don’t fret!  Don’t fuss within yourself in the inner recesses of your mind!  I know you thought I was going to tell you to make sure you attend church...

IT’S NOT THAT WAY WITH GOD

“Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:9-10 NKJV) Is it just me or do you have the same reaction?  Am I just a Baby-Boomer who has different expectations than that of our younger generations? What reaction? I’m talking about the...

“For the Lord corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights. Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.” (Proverbs 3:12-14 NLT) It did not matter how tall you were, how strong you were, or how smart you were – which was evidently not smart enough...

YOU HAVE OPTIONS

ByDr. Mark April 27, 2021 0 Comments
“He who has ears  , let him hear and heed My words.” (Matthew 12:9 AMP) When you see that someone is sending you a word from the Lord you have options. You can hear it, but change nothing with your behavior or your thoughts.  Whether sent electronically or you hear it verbally, you can block it.  However, the best option is to receive it and respond to it.  God had a...

IS THIS A POEM OR IS IT PERSONAL?

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV) Mercifully and patiently He waited for me. To come to my  senses, as He would want it to be! He truly looked past my faults, my failures, and He showed me such favor. He is not like anyone I know, for they would have...

THESE FOUR WORDS

ByDr. Mark April 22, 2021 0 Comments
“In the beginning God.” (Genesis 1:1 NIV) The four words in our opening verse do not form a hypothesis that needs to be proven.  They do not forward a hunch by any means.  These four words do not make up an unimportant phrase that just heading that leads you to reading the content, like any other book.  Let me tell you what these four words are.  They are the words that...

THE LORD WILL PROVIDE…STILL

“When they arrived at the place where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it. Then he tied his son, Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. And Abraham picked up the knife to kill his son as a sacrifice. At that moment, the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes,” Abraham replied. “Here I am!”...

“…knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:8-9 NIV) I want your spirit to be lifted up today!  No matter what you are going through I want to help put a smile on your face!  Even if you are facing the unknown, the unexpected, or the unwanted, I want you to...

WHEN HE CALLS YOU

“The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27 AMP) Yesterday morning, I got up before 2:00 a.m. EST.  This was after rolling over and trying to get at least a couple of hours of sleep.  It’s the time of the year for the college basketball tournaments and I admit I went from one channel to the other, one game to the...

THIRSTY TIMES

ByDr. Mark March 5, 2021 0 Comments
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God.  My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.  When will I come and see the face of God?”  (Psalm 42:1-2 AMP) There were times as children when we were walking home from playing baseball at a local park and we were as thirsty as could be.  The park had a water fountain, one of the...
