Serving faithfully and living blamelessly only happens when we know the One who is All-Sufficient! When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai–‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. Genesis 17:1 I’ve been digging into the occurrences of words like ‘desire’ and ‘contentment.’ GodContinue reading “Total sufficiency – El Shaddai”

Writer of My Story
Jesus is the Author and Perfecter of our Faith. That’s a title sweet to anyone who loves words and books! God alone can write my story of faith because He alone knows the things about me that need His touch. He knows my strengths, myweaknesses, my wounds and the ways that will work best toContinue reading “Writer of My Story”
Health of My Countenance
When our soul roars within us–when everything seems out of whack and not what we want, quiet peace comes to our heart and our face when we remember what Jesus already provided because it was the will of God.
Gaining vision!
Don’t let your eyes be stuck in the muck!
King of Heaven–and of Earth
Most everyone knows the title “King of Kings” but we don’t often live it. What a privilege we have when the King rules our lives: we get to bring His Kingdom to this broken world! We get to be used as the answer to our prayer: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done!” Jesus toldContinue reading “King of Heaven–and of Earth”
Seeking God as a Treasure
Another concept name to feast upon today…In speaking of the Kingdom of Heaven–the dwelling place of our Savior and the Father, He (Jesus) said, Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. MatthewContinue reading “Seeking God as a Treasure”
Refuge of Rock
Paul spoke of his limits–his humble human-ness–with great eloquence in Romans 7. Our desires, our hopes, our knowledge are limited–but Jesus Christ is not. When He is our focus, our desired destination, we live in His refuge. Enjoy the courage to live that comes with knowing Jesus by the Name of REFUGE! The LORD isContinue reading “Refuge of Rock”
Glory Glimpse: LIFE
Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me.” John 14:6 As LIFE, Jesus is the way we find God. From conception to the death bed, there is LIFE. Jesus Christ is life. Faith sees HIM in every detail of life. Oswald Chambers saysContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: LIFE”
Glory Glimpse: God as ALL
I share with you this AM not a specific name but a concept throughout Scripture and supported by many verses. The One true, triune God, is ALL–and all we need for a full, abundant life. Colossians 1:17 is a great place to begin thinking on this. “He existed before anything else, and he holds allContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: God as ALL”
Glory Glimpse: Banner leading to victory
Sometimes stating the obvious really does help. We see what we look at. If we spend our time looking at the things we stress over or hate–that is all we see! That does not lead to victorious living. Look to Jesus! After the Israelites defeated the Amalekites, Moses built an altar to Jehovah Nissi. The Lord,Continue reading “Glory Glimpse: Banner leading to victory”
