- 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)

Reproof
As far as Old Testament words go, it’s not all that common. As far as wisdom goes, I’m thinking it’s kind of a big deal. A fool despises his father’s instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is prudent. There is severe discipline … Continue reading
Remember Me
It’s the two-word prayer that hits me every time I wrap up reading Nehemiah. A two-word prayer that almost always leaves me a little uncomfortable. A two-word prayer that feels self-serving at first, but which, after considering the character of … Continue reading
Forgiven. Not Forgotten
Okay, here’s one of those thoughts that I think is a valid thought but, to be honest, as I type this I’m kind of hearing it put this way for the first time myself. If not entirely correct, it’s at … Continue reading
A Tree of Life
It’s a three-word phrase that’s caught my attention this morning. Not an obscure phrase, but one pretty well known. Doing a bit of e-concordance work and I find the phrase occurs only 11 times in my bible and pops up … Continue reading

With the Help of God
I was at a retreat last week connecting with some missionary-pastors and their wives. I’m on the board of a ministry which sends these faithful saints to lesser-known (some of them WAY lesser-known) rural places in America. Many of these … Continue reading
The Way of Life
“The way of life” — that’s the phrase that caught my attention this morning. Sounds kind of important. Sounds like something, though perhaps not the only thing, that’s foundational to thriving. While it may not be a heart or a … Continue reading

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
