If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him. (John 12:26) When I read this verse, it often makes me wonder if I’m where I’m supposed to be. Jesus says that whoever serves Him must be whereContinue reading “Where Are We?”
Jeremiah 17
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in aContinue reading “Jeremiah 17”
This is the Generation that Seeks the Lord
“Who may ascend onto the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? One who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to deceit, and has not sworn deceitfully. He will receive a blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of hisContinue reading “This is the Generation that Seeks the Lord”
The Lord Will Provide
Earlier this week I was thinking about the ways that God provides for His people. He led the Israelites out of Egypt; He rescued Daniel from the lions’ den; He fed the five thousand. When He called upon Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son – the son that had been promised to him – HeContinue reading “The Lord Will Provide”
Preparation – In The Waiting
As some of you know, lately I’ve been in a kind of waiting period in my life. I went from having busy, filled-to-the-top days of school and work and social life, to slowing down and moving home, to slowing almost to a stop because of the pandemic. An outsider might conclude that I’m living theContinue reading “Preparation – In The Waiting”
You Know My Heart
One day a while back I was trying to spend time in prayer, but I couldn’t seem to focus. I was overwhelmed with questions, anxieties, and future plans. I had so many thoughts running through my head and was struggling to sit and rest in the presence of God. My prayers were scattered and distracted,Continue reading “You Know My Heart”
Go, and Sin No More
John chapter 8 contains one of the strongest, most moving depictions of God’s forgiveness. In it, the Pharisees brought to Jesus a woman caught in the act of adultery, intending to stone her for her sin. Jesus, in an act of radical, countercultural forgiveness, replied, “He who is without sin among you, let him beContinue reading “Go, and Sin No More”
Satisfied
There is one statement in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount that always inspires me. In Matthew 5:6, He says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied”. First, this verse causes me to ask myself, Do I truly hunger and thirst for righteousness? This is not just a casual,Continue reading “Satisfied”
O Taste And See
Today I want to write about my favorite passage in Scripture. Psalm 34 is rich, lovely, and powerful. So I’ve walked through the chapter and written my thoughts on the verses it contains. Verse 1: I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Imagine what it wouldContinue reading “O Taste And See”
Expectant and Victorious
“But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.” (Micah 7:7-8) What doesContinue reading “Expectant and Victorious”
