Heavenly Father,
I thank you for giving me my Bible. I thank you for the wisdom inside my Bible. I thank you for the protection and guidance that you have put in my Bible - to help me in my daily life.
Lord, I am asking that you would help me to grow in my love for my Bible. I am asking that you would remind me to read my Bible. I am asking that you would grow a hunger in me for your wisdom and your ways of living.
Today I am choosing to increase my delight in enjoying you and your word.
Lord, I realize that you have been drawing me toward a closer relationship with you. Thank you for drawing me. I will move closer to you.

In order to obey God,
I need Revelation and Motivation.
Revelation - of what God wants me to do.
Motivation - to do what God wants me to do.
And
Revelation mainly comes from
Reading the Bible
and not skipping over verses about obedience.
Obedience verses are God's instructions for our life choices.
And
Motivation comes mainly from
* Reading the Bible
* Listening to sermons that increase your motivation to obey God.
* Intentionally choosing to listen to godly music that increases your motivation
* Choosing companions who encourage you to obey God.

October Thoughts
How do Christians today measure up
to the first Christians?
Do we keep our convictions in the face of being laughed at, talked about unfairly, and ostracized?
Or
Do we change our values as society changes its values?
For example:
Do we enjoy glorification of witchcraft in books and movies
or do we shun it?
Do we judge a movie by God’s standards
or do we
justify nudity and immoral behavior as acceptable?
Do we turn away
from dark, occultic entertainment
or embrace it?
Are we bold in our beliefs or have we become lukewarm?

January 28, 2023
If I am doing God's work and
seeking to follow his moral code,
then I am positioning myself on God's team -
working with God instead of against him.
Those running the wrong way
sometimes give a touchdown
to the other team.
Of course God works everything together for my good.
And God does forgive me when I sincerely repent of my sins.
But...
I can make many things in life easier for myself
or harder for myself -
depending on my choices.
I would rather learn things the easy way
than the hard way.
January 23, 2023
The phrase
- Following Jesus -
implies
you actually have to do something.
January 22, 2023
We will not attain intimacy with God without obedience.
We will never attain perfect obedience
but God expects us
to show respect for him
by making obedience a priority in our heart.

Prayer
Dear Lord,
I come to you not satisfied with staying average, not satisfied with just the traditional, not satisfied with the way it has always been. I press into you that I may come up higher.
With your help, Lord, I'm going to take the reins of my life, and I am going to change some things.
I declare by faith that in this new year, I will become stronger and more determined.
I will take authority over those things that are hindering me. I will become powerful in Jesus Christ.
I will remind myself that I am the head and not the tail - above and not beneath.*
Lord, you have given me powerful pieces of armor. I will put them on, and I will see amazing victories in my life.
Amen

Reflection for Easter
April 9, 2022
God has been working with me on
being more patient and joyful.
He has nudged me to find the amusement
in frustrating situations
instead of reacting with
impatience.
A simple example...
I'm running late and
as I am trying to do something, I drop my pen -
I pick it up and drop it again.
But
I choose to see the humor in the situation
not the frustration.
I choose to be lighthearted.
That decision is especially a challenge when driving.
I can
choose to pray for other drivers instead of getting angry.
God is right beside us all day long.
God doesn't want to endure
an agitated, frustrated follower
but instead
delight in a happy, joyful one.
-
Right after I posted this
I walked into the kitchen and God gave me a test.
I passed it by being lighthearted. Then moments later, I was tested again. I said out-loud, "Again? I just passed that test!"
Even so - I intentionally found some humor in the situation
and laughed.... How about you?

Proverbs 18:17 says,
"Any story sounds true
until
someone tells the other side
and sets the record straight."
This verse is important to keep in mind when dealing with our family members - especially children. We need to be careful not to jump to conclusions. We need to ask our loved ones their side of the story before we decide a matter.
This verse is also important when we are watching the news. Too often our opinions are formed (and then set in stone) by the person or news organization
where we first hear about
a certain topic, situation, event
or proposed bill to be voted on.

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world,
but let God transform you into a new person
by changing the way you think.
Then you will learn to know God’s will for you,
which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Romans 12:2 NLT version
August 15, 2021
(This was August 2 but I am reposting here.)
How can a person know if
he or she is going to heaven
when he or she dies?
Look to 1 John 2:4 - 6 for the answer....
"Someone may say, 'I am a Christian.
I am on my way to heaven;
I belong to Christ.'
But if he doesn't do what Christ tells him to,
he is a liar.
But those who do what Christ tells them to
will learn to love God more and more.
That is the way to know whether or not
you are a Christian.
Anyone who says he is a Christian
should live as Christ did."

We show honor and value to a person
when we focus on his or her strengths.
We show dishonor to a person
when we focus on his or her weaknesses.
On the rare times that God calls us
to come to a person and address his or her
weaknesses or sins,
we need to pray and get in the right mind-set
and then talk to the person in love and gentleness
by gently informing and not attacking -
and while avoiding anger and sourness in our tone.
In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus gives us an illustration about
informing others of their sin and he uses a foreign object in
the eye to represent sin...
Jesus teaches us to first learn how to take foreign objects out of our own eye before we attempt to take the foreign objects out of our neighbor's eye......
When you take something out of your eye, you are gentle. God teaches us to be gentle when addressing the sins and weaknesses of others - as though we are picking out a foreign object from our own eye - that is gentle!
And those of us who have faced our own weaknesses and sins - and have worked on improving our Christian walk - know that WE need grace from people and grace & help from God. And therefore, at some point in our spiritual growth, we put two and two together and realize that we need to approach others in gentleness.
This is your wake up call if you have not realized that yet.
Yes, we have to confront (judge) others sometimes.

'Cause at your feet I'm kneeling
I long for you Oh Spirit of Truth
Teach me what I am seeing
To understand and know for sure
Pure undefiled believing
Oh Trinity for you I long
You're everything I'm needing
In your presence I belong
Never to be leaving

Easter Prayer
Father God,
I come to you today to celebrate Jesus Christ - the King of Compassion and Lord of my life.
As my thoughts turn to Easter and that day of suffering,
I realize that day was no ordinary day.
That day stands out from every other day.
That day of suffering and death opens the opportunity for us to choose eternal life.
Father, stir my unsaved loved ones to choose Jesus as their Lord and Savior in this Easter season.
Speak to them in personalized ways that will give them every opportunity to make that choice.
Thank you for your Love and Mercy.
Thank you for your Amazing Grace.
Amen

An Amazing Video
A woman thought
her first bridal dance was ruined.
But it wasn't.
She just needed to stay calm and not panic.
We who love Jesus are the Bride of Christ.
When awful things happen,
we can remember this video and realize that
Jesus our Bridegroom
can do the impossible
to fix our broken hearts
and messed up situations
if we give him time.
And the lyrics to the song
can inspire us to intentionally
dance through life
with joy -
dance like we've never been
hurt and we've never been sad.
We can listen to the lyrics and decide to dance
while we wait on Jesus to make things right.
Jesus doesn't want yesterday to ruin our today.
Take note:
The groom had a surprise for his bride,
and Jesus has surprises for His Bride.

Lord,
your love and devotion for me
makes me want to reach out and love the world.
Lord of Love,
Remind me to be a miracle this day.
Nudge me, Lord, as I begin to pass by a person who needs a smile.
Direct my attention to an elderly person who is struggling as he or she is going through a door.
Make sure I notice the tired mother with a fussy child who would be thankful if I let her go ahead of me in the grocery line.
Bring to my mind a relative who would delight to receive a phone call from me.
Give me creative thoughts of things I can do for the children of my church to make an ordinary worship day - a day of celebration.
Lord, teach me how to be a walking miracle.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen

to our Lord
written by a
Visitor to our Site
Jesus,
I humbly come before you eager to spend my day with you.
I know when I start my day connecting with you it is much easier to hear your voice.
As I quiet my mind, let me hear you whisper my name,
calling me your beloved,
reminding me that you love every moment
that we get to spend together.
Lord, you deserve my first and my best everyday,
so I am working
to love you as you commanded, with all my heart,
all my soul, and all my mind. Guide and direct me, so I can
use my talents and treasures
to honor you,
knowing all that I am and all that I have is because of you.
I pray this in your beautiful name,
Amen

Have a Problem?
Sometimes you just need a manual.
In 2020, I suggest we need an
e-manual.
~ ~
We have e-books.
We have e-commerce.
But what we really need is an
Emmanuel!
Have you ever searched for a manual
to help you fix a problem?
Even before looking for a manual, the first place
we should look is to
Emmanuel
Jesus is called "Emmanuel" or "Immanuel"
which means "God with us."
June 27, 2020
The Bible is a guidebook,
a blueprint,
a road map.
It is an e-manual (Emmanuel = God with us).
We get lost in the woods
without frequently consulting the Bible.

teaches us to say:
Lord,
18 Open my eyes to see wonderful things
in your Word.
19 I am but a pilgrim here on earth:
how I need a map—
and your commands are my chart and guide.
20 I long for your instructions

Dear Lord,
I praise you for you are an Amazing Artist.
You are the Master Painter of our World.
From your palette, you brushed the world with splashes of forest green, sky blue, and sunny yellow.
You created lush jungles of jade and arid deserts of gold.
You formed majestic mountains, and then you took scoops of brilliant white snow and topped their peaks.
You shaped multi-layered canyons and adorned them with copper-colored hues.
Your exquisite creation is vibrant and full of variety.
Joy and thankfulness rise in me as I meditate on the beauty of your world.
