• A Gift Wrapped in Snow

    God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength (Job 37:5-6, NKJV) “Have you entered the treasury of snow?” (Job 38:22) First I heard them say two feet of snow…

  • Peace in His House

    Behold, these are the ungodly, who are always at ease; they increase in riches. Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.  For all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning. If I had said, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have been untrue to…

  • The Seducing Sister

    “So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup…

  • Tumultuous Times

    “Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace and do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people and consulted together against Your sheltered ones”. (Psalm 83:1-3, NKJV) Who will…

  • Light of God or Dark Accuser?

    “Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart. Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in…

  • Untold Dreams

    “Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven heads came up on one stalk, full and good. Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them. And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So I told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.” (Genesis 41:22-24, NKJV). What…

  • Season of Joy

    He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.                                                    (Psalm. 91:4, NKJV) What was on your heart when you woke up this morning or as you were closing out the night and heading to bed? Was it love, fear, or…

  • Distractions

    “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till…

  • Do You Know Me…You?

    “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matt 5:16, NKJV) I’ve always been bothered by my emotional response to people, situations, and things. Mostly because people were quick to give their opinion about how they perceive me. There is a self-consciousness that…

  • The Advocate

    My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. (1 John 2:1) Have you ever considered the life of an advocate; how they depend on the integrity of those they are representing so their…

    Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. Now in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.” Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was
