A Big Find – Grace!

2 Mins Read
    “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” (Genesis 6:8 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.) My husband has several metal detectors. He is a Civil War buff and goes with permission on property looking for finds or treasures. He’s found all kinds of items buried deep in the ground; old metal car, gold ring, coins, etc. The detector helped him locate these items. I don’t metal detect but I look for finds myself. Right now I’m looking for a khaki skirt (on sale of course). Noah landed the best find in the world when he “found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” God looked down on earth and saw a mess. In fact, He repented that He ever made man in verses 6-7. The word “but” changes the whole scene for God saw Noah and Noah found grace in the Lord’s eyes. He caught the attention of the Lord because he served the God of grace. Noah is not the only one in the elite club of grace finders, for I found grace also. I don’t deserve His grace but I’m so glad He had mercy on me.
    Prayer: Dear Lord, this morning I want to say a great big THANK YOU for giving me grace. It is definitely your unmerited favor. It was a great big find for me when I found Your grace and mercy extended to me.

True Satisfaction

1 Min Read


“When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of what he has experienced, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins” (Isaiah 53:11 in the Holy Bible, New Living Translation)

The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ found satisfaction after he suffered and died on the cross for the sins of the whole world. Satisfaction as the world describes it may never come to some of us in this life. But those who seek to please God before their life is ended will discover that whatever pain and hurt they experienced on earth will be replaced with a crown and the satisfaction of the Savior’s proclaimation, ‘Well done!’

Prayer: Savior, the world declares that satisfaction will come with promotion, riches, beauty and power, but Your Word tells me that we will only find true satisfaction in living our lives according to Your purpose. It is what I do as a daughter of the King that will end in the satisfaction of an eternity spent with You. Amen!

Inner Beauty

1 Min Read


“From Mount Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance” (Psalm 50:2 in the Holy Bible, New Living Translation).

What is beauty? There is beauty in a piece of art that captures the imagination and dazzles the eye. There is beauty in the graceful movements of a soaring eagle or in the perfect conditioning of an athlete. But, all of these definitions of beauty are “outward.” Psalm 31 warns, “Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.” The most radiant and stunning of all is spiritual beauty that comes from a meek and submissive spirit.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, our world today is enamored with beauty that is only skin deep. I want the beauty of the Lord – Your splendor and Your holiness – to radiate from my innermost being. Lord, give me a beautiful spirit! Amen.

What is Truth?

1 Min Read

    “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’” (John 8:31-32 in the New International Version of the Holy Bible).

    Are you searching for the truth? Do you want real answers to your life issues? With so many religions proclaiming they have the truth, do you wonder where to turn? We must start our search for truth with the only reliable source –the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ Himself proclaimed that obedience to His teachings is the key to finding the truth and freedom from life’s distresses.

    Prayer: Lord, it is my hearts desire for You to consider me to be one of your real disciples. I understand that a disciple is one who follows You, obeys Your instructions and stands firm on Your teachings. It is then, and only then, that I will recognize the truth. The Bible tells me that You are “the way, the truth, and the life.” When I become acquainted with You, Truth steps into my life and I am genuinely free.

A Patient God

1 Min Read

    “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy” (Psalm 103:7 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible).

    There are many who view God as someone who is watching their every move waiting for an opportunity to pass judgment on them. While it is true that our unjust actions, apart from God’s mercy, will bring the penalty of sin upon our lives, this Scripture emphasizes the great patience of God towards us.

    Prayer: Jesus, I praise you for your endless love and compassion. Forgive me for my thoughtlessness and the many times I have overlooked your tender mercies. Help me to think before I act, to be more careful about the way I handle Your mercy. Thank You for being patient with me. Amen.

Our Sense of Need

1 Min Read

“Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of need. In this, as in everything, God’s thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honored by our asking just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing.” ~Arthur W. Pink

What Does God Want from Us?

1 Min Read
    “Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” (Psalm 29:1-2 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). We have something to offer God. How amazing is that? The Creator of the heavens and the earth desires my praise!
    Prayer: I lift my voice in praise and adoration to You, O Lord! May everything I say and do bring You glory and honor. Let my heart be pure and blameless as I offer You my praise. I will exalt Your Name forever and ever. Amen.

I Am Free

1 Min Read

“But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, ‘You will be set free’?” Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin,” (Holy Bible, John 8:33-34, New Living Translation). I was born in the United States of America, the land of freedom. When the red, white and blue flag unfurls, it’s my assurance that freedom belongs to me. Like these descendents of Abraham who questioned Jesus, I’ve never been a slave or endured servant, but tentacles of sin enslaved me until I claimed my inheritance through faith in Jesus Christ. He set me free.

prayer: Lord Jesus, I am no longer enslaved by sin because You set me free. Amen.

His Ways

1 Min Read

“Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!” (Romans 11:33, Holy Bible, New Living Translation). When unexpected things happen, I question my future. Have I made a wrong turn, or has God remapped my route? Maybe neither. It could be a definitive learning curve to teach me to trust God’s ways.

prayer: Eternal God, I don’t understand the twists and turns You’ve placed in my life, but I will trust Your decisions. You know what’s best for me. Amen.
