“But when Pharaoh saw that relief had come, he became stubborn. He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.” Exodus 8:15 Isn’t it so easy for us to look at Pharaoh and shake our heads in disbelief. After numerous plagues that destroyed his crops, land and people, he still refused to surrender and allow the Israelites to go free. I’ll admit it, I’m stubborn. I have been my whole life. My daughter was on antibiotics around this time last year, and hated the taste of it. I’m talking hated in the way that we…
“But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” Mark 5:19 Mark chapter five tells us the story of a man who is possessed by evil spirits. He was living a life of torment…
“When they walk through the Valley of Weeping, it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn rains will clothe it with blessings.” Psalms 84:6 NLT We all go through different seasons in life. Times of joy and blessing, but also times of loss, confusion and drought. Seasons that…

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…
Proverbs 17:19 “Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin; anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster.” Proverbs is such an interesting book of the bible to me. It’s this smorgasbord of universal wisdom all compiled into one book. This scripture goes from quarreling to trusting in high walls all in one scripture! I feel like Solomon could literally never turn his brain off, and his hand couldn’t write as fast as his mind was thinking. The second half of this scripture stood out to me, “anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster” High walls in modern day could…
