Where to begin? Isn’t that the question most of us have when we are looking to increase wisdom and knowledge? We look at the pile of books at the library or book store, or we search the seemingly never-ending list of topics with which to learn on the internet. If we are honest, most ofContinue reading “The Fear of the Lord: The Key to Wisdom”

Seeking More of Him
Going through the “Read-the-Bible-in-a-Year” reading plan allows me to glean little nuggets that I have passed over in the past. And I find that it is so fruitful to simply and prayerfully read without focusing on a specific subject other than getting to know God more. Reading His Word and sitting with Him allows usContinue reading “Seeking More of Him”
True Doctrine Leads to Right Living
Walking the paths of life can be difficult and treacherous. It can also be uplifting and exciting. There are curves, bumps, twists, and turns. The scenery can be calm, chaotic, serene, and tragic. The unknown of each step meets us with every event we go through. But the biggest question I have is, “how doContinue reading “True Doctrine Leads to Right Living”
Embracing Self-Discovery: A Journey Through Psalm 139:13-16
Inside your mother’s womb, you were being formed and fashioned. Each day that went by was yet another milestone toward the ultimate goal of being born. And while there, each and every body part – each hand and finger, each foot and toe, each organ and bone, each facial feature – was taking shape inContinue reading “Embracing Self-Discovery: A Journey Through Psalm 139:13-16”
Ask, Seek, Knock
Have you ever asked God, “What do You want me to do?” I know I have a lot. And when asking guidance from others, I get advice about ‘how’ to hear Him or what they say to do. Often times, I get the answer of “you need to pray” or “just read the Bible.” ToContinue reading “Ask, Seek, Knock”
In That One Moment
There have been so many instances in my life that I have thought about what it was like to be without cancer versus being with cancer. Before cancer, I was a strong person that was able to help almost everyone I came into contact with. After cancer entered into my life, I became this shellContinue reading “In That One Moment”
What is Your Purpose?
There I was, this morning, on the back deck of my house. I was enjoying the beauty of the atmosphere. It was early morning, and it seemed as though I was the only person awake in the neighborhood. I’m sure I wasn’t, but that is what I felt. As I communed with God, the birdsContinue reading “What is Your Purpose?”
Prayer
There are so many ways to pray. We can pray with our eyes open or closed. We can pray aloud or silently. We can speak our prayers or sing them. Any way to communicate with God is appropriate when you are seeking Him. And since, we are looking for what prayer is, I decided toContinue reading “Prayer”
Lord, Strengthen Us
It has been a very trying time in this house. There have been a number of issues that have to be worked out soon. However, I am tired. Oh so tired! Many of the tasks required to be done are just so very draining, and it is difficult to find the motivation to finish thisContinue reading “Lord, Strengthen Us”
To Know and Love God
There has been a lot of resources that guide Christians in various aspects of our lives. These are well-meaning resources, but without the foundation of the Holy Bible they are meaningless and misleading. The most important resources that we have – outside of God Himself speaking directly and audibly to us – are prayer andContinue reading “To Know and Love God”
