- 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)

Sarah’s Faith
I guess it could be an enigma or, it could be an encouragement. It could be something I try to rationalize or, something I rejoice in. What’s the “it”? It is Sarah’s faith. By faith Sarah herself received power to … Continue reading
Well Tried . . . Again (2016 & 2019 Reruns)
Psalm 119:140 arrested my attention this morning. Apparently, it’s done so a couple of times before. Some translations render it that the “promise is well tried”, like my ESV. Other’s that the “promise is pure”, like the CSB, NASB, and … Continue reading
Not One Word
There they were, on the other side. The other side of the Jordan, the other side of the battles, the other side of the land distribution. They came, they conquered, they were settling in. That’s where they were. Oh, it … Continue reading
God Determines the Destiny
It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who, with pen wrote: “Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a … Continue reading
The Days When God Watched Over Me
We’re meant to identify with Job. While the degree of our sufferings might not approach his, our suffering is still our suffering. And we especially connect with Job when we don’t know the why’s or wherefore’s of what we’re going … Continue reading
127 Provinces
127 Provinces. That’s what I’m chewing on this morning. The king’s scribes were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day. And an edict was written, according to all that … Continue reading

Nevertheless
To mess with Dickens’ well-known line . . . It can be the best of words, it can be the worst of words. The word? Nevertheless. It’s been over three weeks since they gathered to hear Ezra read from the … Continue reading

Who Am I?
It was a king’s question. But it could be, and should be, a question that finds its way seeping from my heart on a regular basis. Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and said, “Who am … Continue reading

He Steadies the Pillars
It’s a song about judgment. A set time appointed by God when He will “judge with equity.” A time when “a cup with foaming wine” is poured out and the wicked of the earth “shall drain it down to the … Continue reading

The Power of Promise
Finished Genesis this morning. Found myself trying to do the math. Trying to piece together how many years between Abraham receiving the promise of land when he was 75 years old (Gen. 12:3), and when his grandson, Jacob, dies at … Continue reading
