In Genesis 26:17-22, I read about Isaac and how he dug wells. It’s a simple thought for today. Isaac’s enemies filled up the wells that Abraham had dug. Isaac dug them again, and he dug his own wells, which others wanted. Each time he dug a new well, there were his enemies, trying to take …
I jotted down several thoughts from my reading today. Luke was a blessing, especially reading about the blind man who cried out “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”.(Luke 17:35-43) Others tried to shush him, but “he cried so much the more”. He knew this could be his only chance for healing, he didn’t …
I’ve also been mediating on Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.. I’m not sure why, it hasn’t been in my daily reading for a while now. Perhaps the Holy Spirit is prodding me …
In Luke 15, I read the words of Jesus, as He told his disciples several parables. The lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son, or more commonly known as the story of the prodigal son. I can identify with the prodigal son in some ways. I’ve never left home or lived out in …
In Genesis 20, we read the story of Abraham jouneying to Gerar. There, for some reason, he told Abimelech, the king of Gerar, that Sarah was his sister. (Which, she was his half-sister, but more importantly, she was his wife!) Abimelech made plans to take Sarah for himself, thinking she was unattached. God intervened before that could …
“Talk to me” used to be a common catch phrase for radio talk shows. Whenever I have a problem, I have several close friends and family members who say to me, in some form or another, “Talk to me. I’m here for you.” And, I usually do talk to them. I share my burdens. I …
It was a blessing to read Luke 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought of your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat and the body is more than raiment. And then: 28 If …
Genesis 16:2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. I cannot tell you what a blessing my reading today was! Thank you for …
So many thoughts today. I started reading through the Gospels over and over per the recommendation of an evangelist friends of ours. He said that reading about Jesus’ life on earth had changed his life. That sounded good – life changing – I need that. So, I started doing it. It has been good. Reading Jesus’ words …
In Luke 8:41-56, we see the story of Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, who needed Jesus to come heal his only daughter, who was dying. The situation was bleak. This poor man! He knew where to go, and that was to the Lord. But, Jesus couldn’t go straight there, he got interrupted by a …
