- 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)

A Waiting Game
Hovering over a verse in Isaiah this morning. More so, hovering over a particular word. An action word, a verb. A verb twice used. First about something that God is doing, then about something His people should be doing. And … Continue reading

For You I Wait
It really couldn’t have gone any worse. The people believed Moses when he told them that “the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that He had seen their affliction” (Ex. 4:31a). They bought into the plan, Moses and … Continue reading
I Will Wait. I Will Celebrate.
Can I summarize Habakkuk this way: I will complain; I will push back; I will stand; I will watch; I will wait; I will celebrate? I guess so, I just did. Ask me yesterday what I know about Habakkuk and … Continue reading
Good, Good, Good!
Hovering over some shadow verses this morning. You know, those lesser-known passages immediately following those other passages we tend to remember, quote, and claim. Lesser known, lesser remembered, often lesser chewed on Scripture because the inspired word just before it … Continue reading
Count On It
Ben Franklin said that “in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” Others have tried to add a third or fourth thing to the list, but the one thing we all know is undeniable is that death is … Continue reading

Three Years
Another reading in Judges. Another story of power. Power in the world’s way. And what’s caused me to pause this morning is that it seemed to work, and seemed to work for a pretty long time — three years. Three … Continue reading

Active Waiting
It wasn’t the wilderness just because it was physically the wilderness. No, beyond the barrenness around him was the abiding sense of a desert within him. His world had been turned upside down as he was forced to flee his … Continue reading

Keep It Cool
Up until this morning, I would have said it was one of my favorite psalms. But a light goes on as I hover over David’s song and I realize that it’s more like a psalm that contains some of my … Continue reading

As He Had Said, What He Had Promised
Wrote on it three years ago. And seven years ago. And eleven years ago. Given my current season, maybe it’s not surprising that the Spirit knows I need a reminder because I still struggle with resting in the reality. Hovering … Continue reading
