Abide in My Love

Posted on November 29, 2017 by Pete

Said to them, but written for us. They were the actual recipients of Jesus’ words, but what was true concerning the disciples is also true of us. And it’s the stuff that makes for a full meal. And yet, it’s … Continue reading →

Christ Himself

Posted on November 28, 2017 by Pete

Probably not technically the right way to read this part of Revelation . . . and maybe it’s because I’m being overly influenced by Black Friday, or Cyber Monday, or Giving Tuesday, or this consumer-day-is-every-day time of year . . … Continue reading →

Job and Jesus

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Pete

Back in routine (sort of) after spending the latter part of last week back in B.C. with my grandkids (their parents were there too . . . I think). And, this morning, I’m partaking of Job and Jesus. I’m keenly … Continue reading →

Man Greatly Loved

Posted on November 21, 2017 by Pete

Reading in Daniel this morning. And, to be honest, not sure I’m that focused on picking up the pieces of prophecy being laid down. Instead, I’m a bit distracted by who’s delivering the vision and how he refers to Daniel. … Continue reading →

Contend for the Faith

Posted on November 17, 2017 by Pete

Throwback Friday (I know, not a thing, but that’s what today’s gonna be). I’m hovering over the brief letter written by Jude and thinking about how I would just as soon chew on the good tasting stuff of verses 24 … Continue reading →

Wash My Feet

Posted on November 16, 2017 by Pete

Often, I think I jump to what I need to do rather than just chew on what He’s done. I rush to practical application, brushing past the wonder of incarnation. Ready to imitate, before I take time to meditate. Such … Continue reading →

An Unlikely Psalmist

Posted on November 15, 2017 by Pete

I’ll take lesser known songs of praise for 2000, Alex. Blessed be the Most High, and praise and honor Him who lives forever, for His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom endures from generation to generation; all the … Continue reading →

What More Could They Want?

Posted on November 14, 2017 by Pete

They weren’t going to get wealthy doing what they did, but they were rich beyond measure. Didn’t have the toys their neighbor’s did, but they had something far better.  Couldn’t open up a bank account, but they were able to … Continue reading →

More Than Just a Hired Hand

Posted on November 10, 2017 by Pete

Job’s problem wasn’t with the sovereignty of God. He’d already conceded that God, because He is God, could give and take away as He determined. Job wasn’t disputing the legitimacy of God’s rule over man, or the reality of His … Continue reading →

Speaking Directly to God

Posted on November 9, 2017 by Pete

Really, he wasn’t asking for a lot. He wasn’t pleading for things to somehow go back to the way they were. Wasn’t demanding to have his wealth or health back. Wasn’t seeking a Lazarus type of miracle that his family … Continue reading →
