The account of the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt is a beautiful revelation of God to the world through a specific group of people. God shows himself to be true to his word and completely reliable in providing everything the people needed. Were they always happy with the provision? No. The manna tasted bland after awhile; …

I am going to do something next week I haven’t done since I started writing this blog 2 1/2 years ago. I am going to take a vacation. You see, even when I’m on vacation, I make sure something posts every day. In learning to be kind to myself, I am giving myself permission to …

I loved hearing their stories, the things that tripped them up, their questions and doubts about spiritual things. I …

Twenty-six days of awareness of the Lord’s blessings. The phrase that sticks with me throughout my day is, “let me be singing when the day is done.” Initially, my impetus came from another phrase in the song — “the sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning, time to sing your praise again…” It’s been …

14How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. 15What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” 16Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such …

Sometimes a song just says it better than anything. As I awoke this morning, I was singing the familiar chorus based on Psalm 118:24, “This is the Day.” Wanting to listen rather than sing, I grabbed my I-pad to search for the song on YouTube.
