But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 As a young person, Camp Meeting was a highlight of every summer. It was a great blessing when we had a missionary family there. I can remember the year when Brother and Sister Bill Drost were preparing to return to the field. The one who was taking the offering to pay for their fare asked for a certain number of people to give one hundred dollars. I felt God wanted me to do this. I had already registered to go to Bible…
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” Philippians 1:6 The Lord has impressed upon me this week to write about some of my favourite scriptures and the impact they have had on…
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.” (Luke…

“So that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.” (Philippians 2:15, New Living Translation). Light is a luxury we take for granted, at least until a storm brings down a wire or blows a transformer. Then, enveloped in a blanket of darkness, we lose our feeling of comfort and security. Anyone who has ever experienced total darkness knows even the smallest dot of light reduces our fear and helps orient us to our surroundings. Without light we stumble, bump into things,…
Psalms 118:6-9 CEV When I was really hurting, I prayed to the Lord. He answered my prayer, and took my worries away. The Lord is on my side, and I am not afraid of what others can do to me. With the Lord on my side I will defeat all of my hateful enemies. It is better to trust the Lord for protection than to trust anyone else, including strong leaders. It seems with each passing day that global tension is increasing. Neighbor’s are turning against each other, families are falling apart and evil is literally being celebrated. It can be a bit frightening when you…
Psalms 46:10 KJV “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” I believe everyone has their favorite chair. You know, the one that draws you, inviting you to sink down into it and enjoy it’s comforts? I have chair like that. In fact, my two year old daughter recently brought a book over to me as soon as I plopped myself down into my favorite chair, knowing that I would spend the next few moments reading. In studying the above scripture, I discovered that the word…
“The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. Then the men asked “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Luke 24:5 I was reading through this portion of scripture a few years ago and had a light-bulb moment. How many times have I searched for life, and healing and forgiveness in all the wrong places? I would bring all my problems to my friends in hopes that they could give me the miracle I needed or even some encouragement to help me get through my current situation. I would spend my money…
