Faithfulness means loyal, steadfast, unwavering, unshakeable, firm, and dependable. God’s Word declares: “Great is his faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:23). “Declare his lovingkindness in the morning and His faithfulness every night.” (Psalm 92:1-2) “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever. I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalm 89:1) “Trust in the Lord and do good. Feed on His faithfulness.” (Psalm 37:3) “His faithfulness endures to all generations.” (Psalm 119:90) “What if some do not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?” (Romans 3:3) God is faithful to His people. We can trust Him and stand upon the…
I remember the conversation like it was yesterday. It was the first week of November 2005, and Mark had called out to our girls, asking them to join us in the living room. He began to somberly share that if God did not provide a financial miracle, we would need…
“Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: UNITE my heart to fear thy name.” (Psalm 86:11) “TRUST in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5) “COMMIT thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.”…

YOUR testimony ROCKS. In the fourth chapter of Joshua, we read about the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River by the children of Israel. We remember that God instructed that each of the twelve tribes of Israel take a large stone from the riverbed, and Joshua set up those stones—each tribe, a stone—on the riverbank at Gilgal as a monument to God’s faithfulness to their family tree. It was to remain a LANDMARK—a tangible testimony to the power of God so that they, and their children … and their children’s children … would always REMEMBER. As a Jesus-name, Spirit-filled believer,…
“They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing” (Psalm 34:10). “I want. I want. I need. I need. There are so many things I want and need.” That little ditty is comical but true. We want it all. From the beginning, God promised good things to those who followed Him. He told Abram, “I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). What does it mean to be blessed? Parents bless their children, friends bless each other, and God blesses us. When we are blessed, we have the favor…
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually, 2 Samuel 9:7. What a picture of Christ we see through David at this moment. King David is extending restoration and He is restoring Mephibosheth’s inheritance. And, instead of killing the bloodline of the previous King, he blesses him. Every single one of us have been born into sin, but there is a God who is searching the whole earth right…
“Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.” (Proverbs 31:31 KJV) One of the best reasons to have a cat is to watch them play with light. I remember watching our cat Camai—she was so haughty and aloof by nature. But all of her aloofness would suddenly evaporate in the presence of a moving speckle of light on the wall. Whether caused by a flashlight or the refraction of sunlight off a watch crystal, Camai would suddenly get that look in her eye, make that funny sound in her throat,…
