“I the Lord do not change” (Mal 3:6). The Lord will never be more magnificent than He is right now, but our REALIZATION of His magnificence continues to expand day by day. He is greater than any and every experience we have had of Him thus far. There are places He wants to… Read More »
Another view of prayer…
“Pray without ceasing” from God’s perspective: “Come as you are, bring whatever you like with you and stay as long as you please. I’ll be here.”
When It Just Doesn’t Add Up
Simply Grateful. I don’t have it all figured out, Lord. I have my questions, unresolved matters, disappointments and concerns just like anybody else. And despite how well I think I know You, I certainly don’t have You all figured out. But I AM learning to trust You more. And when I stop and think about… Read More »
“Bring It”
“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said (Matthew 14:17-18). And that pretty much sums up the Lord’s instruction to us about every area in our lives and every situation we encounter.
Are You Gratefully Needy?
Do you truly value your need for others? I do not mean just accepting it as a fact. Do you value it as much as you value your ability to help others? Your neediness is as much a part of God’s design for His body as is your giftedness, for your neediness provides the opportunity… Read More »

Have you considered if you were “better” than you are right now that you may be tempted to believe God loves you because of your performance? But when your “issues” break out like… Read More »
A Fresh Experience of Today
Let us not consider prayer, Bible reading, fellowship or other spiritual activities as ends in themselves or as tasks performed and completed. Instead, let us regard them as doors that open to a realm of greater awareness of the Lord Himself, in which we walk with anticipation of what He may reveal to us throughout… Read More »
The Music of Today
Open my ears, O Lord, that I may hear in the ordinary sounds of today the symphony of Your Spirit, from the rumble of the tympani to the lightest ting of the triangle. Remind me that You are present in every life event I experience today. “For the Lord your God is with You wherever… Read More »
Make it Somebody’s Business
It’s not wise to let everybody in your business but nor is it wise to let nobody in your business. Time is too short and life is too difficult to waste energy creating an illusion of independent, perpetual strength. “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians… Read More »
