WHAT DID YOU SEE?

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.  Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.  They have no speech; they use no words; no sound is heard from them.  Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.  In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.  It is like a bridegroom...

AND I HAD THE NERVE TO COMPLAIN

“Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.  Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and shall cover it inside and out with pitch.  This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty...

MAKE THIS ONE EXCEPTION

“Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.” (Psalm 86:8 KJV) The contractor says he will be at your residence between 8 a.m. and 12 noon.  He calls right at noon and informs you that he will be there at one o’clock, saying, “I’m on your side of the town.”  He shows up at 2:10 pm. Your side of town must make up 75%...

THAT PUBLICATION WITH THE RECIPES

“The high priest Hilkiah reported to Shaphan the royal secretary, “I’ve just found the Book of God’s Revelation, instructing us in God’s ways. I found it in The Temple!” He gave it to Shaphan and Shaphan read it. Then Shaphan the royal secretary came back to the king and gave him an account of what had gone on: “Your servants have bagged up the money that has been collected for...

FASHION ADVICE & FAITH ADVICE

“But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice—you will be blessed by God in what you do.” (James 1:25 Good News Translation) Based on my own personal experience, as opposed to any formal training in fashion design, I feel In can offer good some advice.  I can, in...

RIGHT ON TIME!

“God makes everything happen at the right time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 CEV) God’s timing is something else!  Sometimes it is surprising!  Sometimes it’s just surreal!  Unfortunately, many times we don’t revere or even recognize that He is to be credited to being involved in our hopes being fulfilled or even in the solving of the horrendous number of situations we encounter...

WHERE WERE YOU?

“As I look back over my life, I can see how Your love has guided me.  Even though I've done wrong, you never left me alone, but You forgave me and You kept on blessing. This I recall to my mind. Therefore I have hope. It's because of Your mercy that we are not consumed; because thy compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness. Great is Thy faithfulness! ...

“THE THING”

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8 NKJV) It is nothing new.  It happens, and it happens more than once, in very generation.  You see, there is always “The Thing;” the thing to wear, the thing not to wear on our body, the thing that is a certain kind of shoe, the thing to say, the thing to do, often things we were told...

CAN GOD’S MIND BE CHANGED? (PART 2)

“Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”  The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord. Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous...

CAN GOD’S MIND BE CHANGED? (PART I)

“At that time, Hezekiah got sick. He was about to die. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz visited him and said, “God says, ‘Prepare your affairs and your family. This is it: You’re going to die. You’re not going to get well.’” Hezekiah turned away from Isaiah and, facing the wall, prayed to God: “God, please, I beg you: Remember how I’ve lived my life. I’ve lived faithfully in...
