“For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!” (Psalm 95:3-6, ESV) I have never been invited to dinner by royalty or a head of state. Should this ever happen (it won’t), I will immediately search out all the information I can find on proper protocol for such an occasion. Much…
But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27, NKJV) Billy Sunday, the 19th Century baseball player turned evangelist, is quoted as saying, “We have a God who delights in impossibilities.” We do serve a God who makes the impossible possible—if we allow…
David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! For the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the LORD’s temple is finished. (I Chronicles…

“Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.” Hebrews 11:11 Why would Sarah be willing to leave all that was familiar to her, and commit to a life of wandering? The promise that God had made to Abraham reached far beyond just giving him and Sarah a son. God had told him that he would become a great nation and that through that nation all the earth would be blessed. Redemption from sin and the means of salvation from…
“Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.” Colossians 3:14 I’m not a very fashionable person. I love clothes as much as the next woman, but I struggle with pairing patterns, prints and colours together. I try and keep it simple with dresses that don’t need to be matched with anything, and subtle, neutral colours. Kudos to all you women out there who excel in the fashion department! There is an article of clothing though that we all should be brilliant at putting on, and that is love. This scripture tells us to “clothe…
“And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel: That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters…
“The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.” Psalm 138:8 I have been thinking of an old song I haven’t heard for a lot of years, written by Vesta Goodman. I am quoting the second verse and chorus: “My hands were made to help my neighbor, My eyes were made to read God’s word, My feet were made to walk in his footsteps, My body is the temple of the Lord. I was made in his likeness, created in his image, For I was born…
