To What/Whom Do We Give Opportunity?
That may sound like a funny question, but as I was studying this weekend a particular subject that was really strong on my heart, a certain verse stood out so profoundly to me. I’d like to share it with you for your consideration. Ephesians 4:17-32 is well worth reading and pondering; I’ll link it in the online […]
Remember – Do Not Forget…
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, 3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, 5 who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. 6 The Lord works righteousness and […]
We Have Need of Endurance
Sometimes life can feel really heavy. If you look around you, are you sensing that many people are struggling and have a lot weighing on them? The people living in the 1st century, to whom the Letter to the Hebrews is written, had a lot to endure as well. I’ve had the thought in my mind a lot lately […]
Counting It All Joy, No Matter What Happens
James 1:2-4 says: 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Hardship is rarely the way we’d ever choose for things to go. If you’re anything like me, the last […]

Wisdom From Above
“Willing to yield” is the phrase that stood out to me meditating on this verse today. Many versions say “reasonable” or “open to reason” but if you look that word up in the original Greek text, you’ll find those phrases don’t encompass that word’s intent very well. “Willing to yield, comply, obey, and easy to be entreated” […]
Do you Struggle with Weariness?
Life can get hard; we live in a constant bombardment of bad news and things can wear you down if you’re not allowing yourself to be re-charged in your heart & mind. If you’re going to live like the Bible says, taking up your cross daily and following Yeshua (Jesus), it constantly requires swimming upstream. The […]
Forgive and be Free
Forgiveness is one of the hardest and most rewarding skills to develop in life. I’ve heard it said that unforgiveness is like drinking poison yourself, and expecting the other person you’re angry with to be effected. The truth is that unforgiveness hurts one primary person, and that’s you…if you make the choice to hold onto unforgiveness and […]
Are You Losing Your Peace?
Do you lose your peace in certain situations? Does the past or the fear of something that has happened in the past repeating cause you to lose your peace? Chances are, if you find yourself losing your peace fairly often (particularly if there is a pattern you notice) there could be an old wound in your heart […]
Burdened? You Can Find True Rest.
Yeshua (Jesus) proclaims this message in Matthew 11:28-30, beckoning those who labor and are burdened to come to Him…He will give you rest, to take His yoke upon you (because He’s meek and humble in heart) and you will find rest for your souls because His yoke is gentle and His burden is light. There is a very […]
