Are you willing to get your hands dirty for the sake of someone else? Jesus did. I can’t get over these two accounts: The woman with the issue of blood was considered unclean, and when she touched Jesus, by the law of the day, He would’ve been unclean, too. The lepers that Jesus touched would’ve… Continue reading Are You Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty?

Daniel, The Young Man
The account of Daniel gets more exciting and challenging to me the older I get. Most of us know the basics of his life through the Sunday School lessons we have heard. But there is so much more to Daniel than the lion’s den and his three friends getting thrown into the fiery furnace! I… Continue reading Daniel, The Young Man
Living Abundantly Through Grace
Grace is one of those things that just amazes me. Grace is something most of us want to receive. We know how precious it is, yet, we want to offer it less than we would like to receive it. Have we forgotten that it is by grace that we are saved, able to fellowship with… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Grace
Murmurings & Disputings
Philippians 2:14 says, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings:” This is a command. God didn’t say to “try” or to “mostly” do things without murmurings and disputings. He also said all, and as you know, all means all. The context of this verse is Paul writing to the church of Phillipi. This verse is… Continue reading Murmurings & Disputings
Arise & Build
What is God asking you to build as a Christian, wife, and mother? Your faith? Your home? Your testimony? The heritage you are leaving for your children and grandchildren? I believe now, more than ever, women are under attack. Our femininity and place in the home are mocked and belittled. It is time to arise… Continue reading Arise & Build
The Meditations of your Heart
“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14 Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines meditation as “Close or continued thought; the turning or revolving of a subject in the mind; serious contemplation.” What close or continuous thoughts are you… Continue reading The Meditations of your Heart
The Result of Idol Worship
What do you think of when you hear the phrase “idol worship.” I’ll be honest. I usually picture the wooden and molten images of the Old Testament. It is easy to imagine that and emphatically say, “I don’t have an idolatry problem!” But those manmade idols are not the only type of idolatry we deal… Continue reading The Result of Idol Worship
Living Abundantly Through Delighting in His Word
Reading God’s Word can be viewed as a chore or burden. You may treat it as something you must do as if it is a spiritual obligation or expectation. It takes time and effort to read, study, and memorize Scripture. Devotions can seem even more challenging when you have children in the home. Your flesh… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Delighting in His Word
When Crisis Comes
Second Chronicles chapter 20 opens with the Moabites invading Judah. Jehoshaphat is king, and he is walking with the Lord. Jehoshaphat did not take the news of this invasion lightly. The king knew he had to act quickly and protect his kingdom! Jehoshaphat could have reacted in many ways, but he chose the best solution:… Continue reading When Crisis Comes
Living Abundantly Through Forgiveness
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32 Forgiveness is something we all like to receive but don’t always find easy to give. However, it is a command. God does not desire anyone to live with an unforgiving spirit. Unforgiveness leads… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Forgiveness
