I was reading this morning in Jesus Calling and this Scripture from Proverbs 4:11,12 gave comfort. I will instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. From Hearing God: For the Lord gives wisdom,…

In taking God’s hand and walking with Him I am learning ever so gently to trust Him in all things. His calm love is my anchor. Psalm 139: You have searched me, Lord and you know me. Do you know anyone who knows you so intimately that there is nothing to hide, nothing to fear,…

Yesterday at Church, our Pastor talked about Pentecost – 50 days after the Resurrection of Jesus. In ancient Israel it was the Festival of Harvest. Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples…a spiritual harvest. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like a…

I was reading 1 Peter 1 this morning. All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fail, but the word of the Lord endures forever. 1 Peter 24-25 (Isaiah 40:6-8). As I was reading the introduction to 1 Peter I couldn’t…

I just finished rewatching the recorded Revelation Series, Chapter 10, presented by Open Table Conference. I especially loved after the presentation, the Zoom floor was opened for all the panelists to comment and add their questions/understanding.

I find it increasingly harder to understand what is happening in the world today. There is a spirit of anger, rage, hate, cruelty, deceit that is palpable and that is infecting all of us. People are allowing hate to grow inside of them and thinking it’s okay to kill. Why is it different now? There…

This morning I was reading the devotional Hearing God by Dallas Willard and I loved this: Evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and…known (in) the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through…

In writing this blog I wanted to share with you my own journey of faith toward God…of taking His hand as He leads me to Him. I had told Him yesterday in prayer that there are times when I am sitting quietly in solitude and silence so I can be with Him that I experience…

An amazing thing happened in my time with God this morning. I started reading in James, was led to a reference in Isaiah, spent time in prayer and waited for what seemed like forever for God’s words to me. While I was sitting, trying to quiet my too busy mind, images of a painting that…
