We get the choice, and we each use it to find a group without thinking of it. The word "some," used in the Bible, describes a whole group of people. More than just a number, it represents a type of person. We see from our text that quite a few turn to human technology. Others... Continue Reading →
The Meditations Of My Heart
Christianity today walks down a similar road as the religions of old. Where we once directed the gaze of our souls to Power and wonder above, we hone in on ourselves. We lose the essence of worship. We pray, sing, and listen, but only to our liking. Huddling closer to the herd, we convince ourselves... Continue Reading →
The Heavens Shout
Consider the size of the universe. If we stop and think about it, who can get their head around how small and insignificant planet earth looks? Try to measure the distance and space out there. Our minds cannot capture it all. Wrapped in all that precision and order lies volumes of praise to our limitless... Continue Reading →
And He Heard
Terror strikes with a vengeance. Darkness overcomes us and drags us lower than we have been before. The torcher takes its toll. How will we ever stand all we must endure? We experience the strain of despair often. At times our woes pile on each other to cloud out the sun. Most times, we carry... Continue Reading →
God Who Saves
It hurts! Pain hurls us down and stomps on our pride. It has no feeling at all toward the hopes that we held before. We turn. When we cannot go forward, we turn. Where do we go? Where can we go now? Through the waves of our despair, a glimmer of hope glows through the... Continue Reading →

Love, for example, can warm others. It can build them up, care for them, and spring into fountains... Continue Reading →

An easy mistake to make would be to think that God needs to turn our financial situation around. Many texts in the Bible tug on the strings of our hearts. We read of our lands returning to us or our fortunes restored. Some promises can bring that kind of consequence. Still, God´s intended purposes float... Continue Reading →
Who Seeks God?
Of those who say they do, who perseveres with God each day? Some will admit to seeking Him in their morning devotions or in their evening prayers. Some will think of God at the weekends when they attend meetings. Yet the rare breed would seek the Lord all through their day. It may seem too... Continue Reading →
Trust In Loving Kindeness
Those who have experienced the loving-kindness of God sing out their praises to Him. We have seen it, and we know. We stray. One moment we are down and out, and then the next, we are standing on top of the world. So beautiful and so sweet it is that we cannot help but throw... Continue Reading →
Lord, See Our Trouble
When our troubles overcome us, hope seems to have lept out the window, but it hasn´t. Humans have forever groaned under the weight of despair. Yet, as long as we have God, we can hope. We can cry out, “Where are You Lord?” or “How long will You wait before You come to save us?”... Continue Reading →
