“And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Matthew 21:8-9 On September 8, the world received the sad news of the death of Queen Elizabeth of England. She had reigned for 70 years, respected, and honoured by the world. Over the past few days, we have seen pictures and read reports of…
At the beginning of this year I posted this devotion and I wanted to re-share with hope that it will minister to someone today. I’m not much of an action movie fan, but not my husband; he loves them. A common type scene is when the main character is in…
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap, Malachi 3:2. There are times in our lives when we need to stop and evaluate our surroundings and feelings, so we can assess…

“For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you.” Isaiah 54:10 Is there anyone in the world that actually enjoys change? Most of us are creatures of habit, so when anything changes in the slightest, we definitely take notice!

“And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home. And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.” I Samuel 2:20-21. We can never out give the Lord. Hannah proved this truth. She gave her most precious possession, the son she waited years for, to the Lord. As a mother, I can imagine how Hannah felt as she left Shiloh after…
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:” Psalm 37:7 David went through difficult circumstances in his lifetime, and yet through them all he maintained his faith in God. He knew that God was in control and no matter what he faced, he found rest in the Lord. I believe his secret is revealed in the following scriptures: Psalm 55:17 “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” Psalm 63:6-7 “When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help,…
“The Lord himself with fight for you. Just stay calm.” Exodus 14:14 MSG We live in a day and age where we don’t usually have to literally step onto the battlefield and war for what is rightfully ours. We aren’t bloodied and bruised from the fight, and we certainly (hopefully) don’t carry swords and shields with us for protection. We do fight spiritually though, whether we realize it or not. We can pray, worship, intercede and storm the gates of Hell – but we still sometimes need God to fight FOR us. There are some things that are simply beyond…
