- 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)

“Appropriate” is Appropriate
I’ve always known the verse as “beautiful.” But this morning, reading a new translation this year, it seems “appropriate” is appropriate. He has made everything appropriate in its time. (Ecclesiastes 3:11a CSB) If I had ever been an NASB reader … 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
Appointed to This
I’m gonna guess it’s easier to accept trials and hardships if we somehow think they are random and just part of living in a fallen world. After all, everyone goes through seasons of suffering, so why shouldn’t I? Life’s gonna … Continue reading

Submitting to God’s Permissive Will
If I’m honest with myself, I’m prone to “kick against the goads” (Acts 26:14). Not like Paul who persecuted followers of the risen Christ despite all the evidence he was aware of which testified of a risen Christ. Instead, I … Continue reading

Nevertheless, By God’s Will
Paul had a lot to say as he wrote to the church in Rome, but there was a lot more he wanted to experience when he visited with them. Both at the beginning and at the end of his letter … Continue reading

No Choice in the Matter
Yesterday I confessed I’m struggling with patience. This morning it’s before me that I’m struggling also with silence, as in the need to be so. Yesterday the story concerned a promised son, this morning it’s about his promised bride. Genesis … Continue reading
The God Who Allows It
A repeated phrase in Revelation 13 grabs my attention this morning. Though I would love for the original language behind it to be unique and special, it isn’t. In fact, it appears it’s more the ESV translators that, for some … Continue reading
Agree with God
One of the tricky things about reading Job is trying not to snooze when the other guys are speaking. You know, the other guys — the “friends”, the “counselors”, the “comforters” — those who knew a thing or two and … Continue reading

When It Pleased God
Reading Galatians 1 this morning. Reading about the gospel of Christ — about those who seek to distort it, of Paul who would defend it, and of the Galatians who so quickly deserted it. But rather than being caught up … Continue reading
