- 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)

It’s Still a Promise
I push back from my desk and realize afresh that this is why, by God’s grace, I purpose to read through the bible every year. It’s because I forget what I shouldn’t. Even well-known passages and verses can fade from … Continue reading

Peace and Quiet Confidence
A tucked away gem in Isaiah has me thinking this morning. It’s a verse out of context but it’s a truth for eternity. And, while I’ve yet to experience it to its undiluted fullness, I’ve tasted it enough of it … Continue reading

Rahab Who Just Sits
When the going get’s tough, the tough are going to get going. True statement, I think. Perseverers are going to persevere. They’ll find a way. While they may not know exactly the path towards relief, they’re going to pick a … Continue reading
The LORD of Hosts Has Purposed (A 2020 Rerun)
I finish my readings this morning and sit back to digest. I flip the pages of my bible back through my readings and try and hear from the Spirit what I should chew on. Nothing’s coming. So, as I often … Continue reading
The Zeal of the LORD
“He is jealous for me.” So begins John Mark McMillan’s 2005 song, “How He Loves.” Well known. Heart stirring. But true? I’m thinkin’ . . . Reading in Isaiah again this morning. And I encounter the well-known “for unto us … Continue reading
Ruin and Recruitment
A lament within the church for as long as I’ve been a believer has been that far too many of us in the family aren’t really in the game. That though we praise God for the benefits of new life, … Continue reading

By Justice and By Righteousness
It’s gonna happen literally some day. But, if we have eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts which are attuned, God’s working the same stuff metaphorically in our day. And whether now or then, it’s ultimately accomplished in … Continue reading

Either Way, You’re Gonna Get Burned
Okay . . . this is one of those mornings where it’s more like eating from a buffet than chewing on a single verse. Verses from three of my readings running through my head. All to do with fire, burning, … Continue reading

Satisfied
To say I’m “chewing” on Isaiah 53 this morning would be to imply that it’s bite sized. Far from it. Isaiah 53 is a full meal deal, enough within it to process for an eternity. Not because it’s appetizing, not … Continue reading

Contrasts of Salvation
It’s the contrast that hits me this morning. The contrast between the God who, through Isaiah, declares He is God like no other (Isa. 45:5-6), and the same God, recorded by Luke, who is crucified on the cross (Lk. 23:32-34). … Continue reading
