Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6:38 At this time, every year we are bombarded with advertisements. All the stores and websites are offering sales and enticing us to buy the latest gadgets for our families for Christmas. We are reminded that what is offered now is so much better than anything we have seen before. If we are not careful, we can find ourselves…
“I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” Psalm 101:2 Although I have read this verse many times before, it really stood out to me when I read it the other day.…

“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 Still thinking about my theme for the last couple of days, and found this poem that I wrote a couple of years ago, thought it was appropriate.

“For his loyal love towers over us, and the LORD’s faithfulness endures. Praise the LORD!” (Psalm 117:2, New English Translation). Everyone wants to be loved, but many feel unloved or unlovable. Perhaps they come from a family where love was never expressed. Or maybe the one they believed loved them betrayed that love. Or they may feel unworthy of love and think no one would ever choose to love them. If you are one of those feeling unloved, let me assure you: “You are loved. You are cherished. You are precious.” What would the world be like if love did…
“Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set” (Proverbs 22:28 KJV). Watching beautiful flames in the fireplace one evening found me sharing time with family and friends who have had a godly influence in my life. We were reminiscing the precious truths we were taught from the beginning of our experience with the Lord. Our elders taught us to remain faithful and loyal to truth and not to weaken or compromise the landmarks placed in our lives, for these last days. God’s word provides wisdom, boundaries, and insight for each day of our lives. Boundaries, fences and hedges…
“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 How do you view your day? Do you wake up every morning, thanking the Lord for a good night’s rest and for another day that He has given you to serve Him? Or, do you wake up thinking of all the things that you have to do today, and worry about how you are going to find the time and the energy to get them done? We have had a very hot summer and most days the windows have had to…
