My brother has a son and daughter which he and his wife adopted. They have been a blessing to our family since the day we received them. This post is dedicated to them. You Were ChosenFor the chosen child, there’s a flood of questions swirling around adoption and what it means for your identity and… Read more

In meditating on the holiness of God, it’s easy to imagine God is always angry at our sins. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, God cursed them. But even as they were cast out, He showed them mercy. He made clothing to cover their nakedness. That clothing today is Christ. Because… Read more

In Revelations, chapter 2, Jesus says to return to your first love. He said, I have this against you that you have left your first love and remember where you have fallen; repent and do the first works. The first works? Man fell in the Garden of Eden when he looked to himself. I venture… Read more

God wants you to ask Him for the big and the bold. Just because it hasn’t been done before doesn’t mean it can’t be done or shouldn’t happen! Reading today’s devotion, the author mentioned Jabez. Then the Holy Spirit called to my remembrance the daughters of Zelophehad. I thought they both had big, bold requests… Read more

There is a man in the Bible scriptures calls righteous. He set up his tent toward Sodom. For those familiar with Old Testament scriptures, the man I am speaking of is Lot, Abraham’s nephew. He was rescued from Sodom twice, once by his uncle and then by angels of the Lord. It would seem the… Read more

Part of my daily scripture reading includes the book of proverbs of that numbered day. No, today isn’t the tenth, but God’s truths are never out of style. Today, my thoughts stayed on Jesus Christ! Not only is He the author and finisher of our faith, Heb. 12:2, but He is the believer’s righteousness, 2 Corin.… Read more

Life has a way of giving you unsolicited lessons. Last week I saw a side of a person I considered that loved and respected our relationship. Being hurt by what I perceived, I prayed (before I fleshed out!)—waiting for my Father’s words to direct and soothe me. While listening to a gospel sermon on CD… Read more

This morning I woke to these words on my mind, “work unto the Lord (Col. 3:23).” I thought on them briefly but didn’t give weight to them by looking at that scripture verse, at least not then. I went about my daily routine. But this verse kept speaking to me. As I was working out,… Read more

When challenges come, sometimes quitting seems the best option. But God is showing me He’s got a plan, and often, it’s revealed through dreams and visions. The bible has situations where He prophesies the future, like what He did with Joseph at seventeen. God gave this young man dreams. He and his brothers were in… Read more

I woke to the word predestination on my mind, and shortly behind that, the spirit led me to the book of Ephesians. I asked Father God to give me revelation as I was reading Ephesians 1. The first thing that stuck out to me was verse 1, Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.… Read more
