To Take the Hand of God

  • To Be Blessed By God

    I’ve been reading Revelation. Powerful stuff. It’s easy to think it’s way in the future or just a futuristic story not to be taken seriously. What do we take for granted? What do we need that we depend upon to always be there? People who have lived through disasters quickly understand that everything can be…

  • Death Throes of Sin

    In reading about the trumpet blasts in Revelation 9 and the 2 woes that accompany the 5th and 6th trumpet blasts, I can’t help but think how unnecessary all of this is; if only people had repented and turned to God. One third of humanity killed. And the four angels who had been kept ready…

  • What Is The Beginning?

    Last night we watched The Chosen Season 2, Episode 1. My favorite episode. If you have never watched The Chosen and want to watch a depiction of what it would have been like to live and learn from Jesus as experienced by the disciples in all their very human flaws, then this will stitch time…

  • Love God and Understanding Follows

    Revelation 7 opens with 4 angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds to prevent any wind from blowing. Can you imagine how still that would be? I love seeing the breeze blowing the branches of the trees; it’s comforting and reminds me of Holy Spirit moving. Another angel…

  • Powerful Hoofbeats

    In Reading Revelation 6 the Lamb opens the first of 7 Seals and immediately are the hoofbeats of the 4 horses being sent out. I can almost hear the sound. Their riders were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the…

  • A Path Well Lit

    In the ever increasing turmoil of the events of today it’s so easy to stumble in the darkness of hate. We let anger overtake our hearts and we can’t see through the forest of confusion. We think we know best – what else is there? In Revelation 5 in spirit John was in heaven and…

  • Precision

    This morning looking out the window, I saw rows of sunshine stretched across the street, the sky a warm blue and the colors felt slightly different. In prayer I began to think about how we are past the longest day of the year and the days will begin to slowly shorten. I thought about this…

  • God’s Warnings Remove Blinders of Lies

    I finished reading Revelation 2 and 3. Both Chapters are letters to the 7 Churches in Asia written approximately 95 A.D. God’s Church is the Body of Christ so those letters are for us today as well. I appreciated the summary provided by my Study Application NIV Bible. There were commendations for 6 of the…

  • Rushing Waters

    Several years ago, my husband and I with our son, were visiting Oregon. As we walked along the beach beside the Pacific Ocean, I was struck by the constant roar of the Pacific. There was mist and rising out of the mist were the Sea Stacks remnants of volcanic blastings millions of years ago as…

  • Jesus’s Hands

    Last night we rewatched The Chosen episode where Jesus turned the water into wine (John 2:1-11) at the wedding feast in Cana. In the depiction after He had the servants fill the large purification jars with water, He asked everyone to leave. He put one of His hands on the lip of the jar and…
