2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. When my husband was 16 years old, he began having severe pain in his …
Genesis 39:5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and overall that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. As I read …
Proverbs 26:22 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. I completely understand this verse. For the past year, maybe a bit more than that, we’ve been dealing with talebearers. In modern lingo: Liars! Their lies have been spread around so much that there’s no …
John 6:5 When Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. In the passage today, the Lord and the disciples have 5,000 men, plus …
John 5:35 He [John] was a burning and a shining light: … Jesus tells us in John chapter 5 that John the Baptist was a “burning and a shining light.” I want to be a “shining light” for the Lord, as well. Oh, no, I’ll never be what John the Baptist was, but I can point others to …

Today is my husband’s “spiritual birthday”! He’s 18 today! 🙂 I was 15 years old, living in Benton, Arkansas, and a new Christian myself. I had begun praying for God’s will concerning a mate. The Lord was answering that prayer, and I wouldn’t know it for another 3 years! My husband lived in Flora, Illinois, …
I suppose my favorite story in the Bible is the story of the resurrection. Along with that, is the story of the men on the Emmaus Road. Remember that story? The men were walking along, discussing the crucifixion and Jesus walks up and starts talking to them? I love that story. Those men said in …
In Luke 22, I read about Jesus praying in the Garden. He had just finished eating the last supper with His disciples, where he told Peter “Satan want to have you, to sift you as wheat.” (paraphrase) Later, in the Garden, Jesus tells the disciples, “Why sleep ye? Rise and pray, lest ye enter into …
I always get a blessing from the chapter I read each day in Proverbs. I don’t have time to write all of my thoughts each morning, but I often jot down a verse from Proverbs in my notebook that convicts me. Today, it was Proverbs 17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that …
