- 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)

Search Me O’ God . . . ‘Cause I’m Finding Nothing!
It’s complicated. Yup, that’s the story of Job. A man who God Himself repeatedly declares to be “a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil” (Job 1:8, 2:3). And yet, we know that there is … Continue reading

Vindication
As I hover over Psalm 26 this morning, what I’m chewing on is a thought that justification and vindication are two different things. I’m thinking that if justification deals with sin, vindication deals with the unfounded accusation of sin. If … Continue reading
Another Approach
Job, and his friends were both pretty clear on “what” had happened. Where they differed was on the “why.” For Job’s friends it was pretty clear, “You’re suffering because something’s wrong with you — you must have sinned some pretty … Continue reading
The Heart-Knower
I’m no expert in Greek, not even an amateur. But I know enough to take a run at translating this word: kardiognostes. Kardio . . . aka cardio . . . aka having to do with the heart. Gnostes . … Continue reading
The LORD’s Lamp
This morning, a proverb brings to mind a couple of psalms. I think the proverb may have jumped off the page this morning because I don’t recall encountering it before when reading Proverbs. Turns out, I haven’t . . . … Continue reading
Return to Me

A God at Hand
As I hover over Jeremiah this morning I’m thinking that what can be such bad news for some can be such amazing, good news for others. Case in point, the false prophets of Jeremiah’s day. Not the false prophets of … Continue reading
Humbled for Testing
Couldn’t imagine such a little text having such a potentially big impact. Someone I met with Sunday afternoon texted me Monday morning with, “Pete, I am running a low fever today.” Not words you want to hear at this current … Continue reading

My Integrity, Your Faithfulness
Don’t know what was happening in the songwriter’s life when he composed the twenty-sixth psalm, but whatever it was, he cries out to Jehovah for vindication. Sounds like there were some accusations made that weren’t true. Rumors being spread that … Continue reading
