- So . . . I'm "feeding myself" in the morning from God's Word and thought I'd post what I'm chewin' on and make my "food" available for others who might want to nibble a bit. Hope it's of some benefit to you . . .
The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

The Wisdom of God in Our Hand
It’s a favorite line from Aladdin. It’s also a phrase that comes to mind, from time to time, as I read Scripture. And it comes to mind again this morning as I read in Ezra 7. Like the “genie gig”, … Continue reading

Take a Seat . . . Down There
Not the first time I’ve read this parable. Not the first I’ve paused to noodle on it. Not the first time I’ve been challenged to apply it. But I do think it’s the first time I’ve noticed that Jesus noticed. … Continue reading
Scorn
It’s a “lesser sin to consider” that hits my radar this morning. A more “acceptable” transgression that’s giving me something to chew on. Scorn. Kind of a funny word. Not really a word that I think is used much these … Continue reading

Let Wisdom Reign!
If the first couple of chapters of Proverbs are any indicator, then evidently Solomon was not an “under promise, over deliver” sort of guy. As he seeks to convince his son to hear instruction and not forsake teaching (1:8); as … Continue reading
A Triune God, A Twofold Prayer
The verse pops first because I think it’s a Trinitarian verse. But as I chew on it, it’s the twofold prayer that feeds my soul. The church at Thessalonica really was a remarkable church. Paul had only “three Sabbath days” … Continue reading
To Me Be the Glory
Okay . . . I guess there’s glory, and then, there’s glory. Glory we give and, according to Paul this morning, glory we get. I know, sounds weird to even think about “to me be the glory”, but get used … Continue reading
A Little Play Acting Here, A Bit of Cover Up There
A crowd had gathered to hear the Savior, but they pushed and shoved and treated each other with “insulting neglect” (Greek Lexicon). They were purportedly there to hear the truth but failed to see the incongruity of stepping on one … Continue reading

Even When I’m Powerless, My Eyes Still Work
No time this morning for journaling, so re-read some past entries — seems I’ve been captured by this story a few times over the years. The words that particularly grabbed me this morning? “We do not know what to do, … Continue reading

Nothing’s Random
This week our church has been running a sports camp each evening hosting about 120 kids as they learn skills, play games, and burn off energy. I’m running (walking?) with seven and eight-year-olds and getting home each night with my … Continue reading
My Portion
Psalm 142 is a cave prayer. Over the years, I have regularly paused to capture in my journal thoughts on cave dwelling — four of those times prompted by Psalm 142. So, I’m not surprised that Psalm 142 again gives … Continue reading
