- 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)

A New Thing
It’s said that familiarity breeds contempt. And who can’t think of cases where that has been true? Instances where someone made an amazing first impression, but the more you got to know them and their shortcomings, the more you realized … Continue reading

A Well-Known Friend
Sometimes it’s stumbling upon something “new” or something I hadn’t really thought of before that serves up something to chew on. A phrase that catches my attention, a word picture that I’d never really considered before, or just some unexpected … Continue reading

What If He Had Spoken Their Names?
When we think of the crucifixion we tend to think of the “main event”–the hours that Jesus hung upon the cross. That’s more than enough to make us cringe, more than sufficient to bow our heads at the injustice. And … Continue reading
Our Arm Every Morning
Some thoughts about today’s reading in Isaiah from 2011 . . . shortly after everything had suddenly turned upside down around here. An encouragement to me this morning. Hoping for you as well. —————————– Sometimes you just need to call … Continue reading

Just Like Jesus
Encountered in Genesis. Part of a prophetic utterance in the Psalms. Explained in Hebrews. That’s Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God. And bottom line for me this morning, he’s just like Jesus. He is first, by … Continue reading

Bounty Is In the Eye of the Beholder
Cruising through Solomon’s one-liners in Proverbs this morning and there’s one that kind of stops me in my tracks. A phrase in it catching my attention and then immediately stirring my thoughts. And if I were to summarize what I’m … Continue reading
Able to Sympathize
God is able. No surprise there. It’s what we believe. It’s what we declare. In a sense, it’s what we would expect of a God who is truly God. He is able to speak creation into being (regardless of the … Continue reading

Strive to Rest

Wells of Salvation
For far too many, I fear salvation is viewed solely as an event. “When were you saved?” one might ask. “Oh, I was saved when I was . . . ” might come the answer. And, while it’s true that … Continue reading
