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…
Leviticus 19:14 MSG “Don’t curse the deaf; don’t put a stumbling block in front of the blind; fear your God. I am God.” I’m going to be completely honest, I had to get a little help with the spelling of the word “conscientious.” While I’m sure I’m absolutely not pronouncing it…
Leviticus 22:31 MSG “Do what I tell you; live what I tell you. I am God.” I’ve always considered myself to be a great listener, but I now realize that I was merely hearing what was being said, and not sincerely listening. There is a profound difference between the two, one is habit,…

“And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.” John 12:21-22 Jesus had just ridden into Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey, as people waved palm branches and shouted “Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord .Probably most of them were rejoicing, thinking that He was about to overthrow the Romans and start His rule as their King. What a glorious day it was! …
“Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:25, English Standard Version) As a child, I remember the excitement of attending the family reunion. It wasn’t anything fancy, just a roadside park with a few picnic tables where the aunts set out platters of fried chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, and other yummy homemade dishes. They loaded those tables with enough food for an army. In the meantime, the cousins ran and played, happy to be together again. The uncles sat and…
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). New babies often bring questions like, “Who do they look like?” and “Where did that red hair come from? I’m here to remind you that the world can tell if we resemble our Heavenly Father or not. The crucible of suffering has a way of showing our real identity. Your reaction to what comes your way revels who you really are and whether or not you look like Jesus. Do you resemble Him at all?
Prayer: Lord, I want the world to recognize who my Father is. I want more of You in my life so that I reflect Your image.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8 It is great to think about the things of yesterday, the blessings the Lord poured upon us and the miracles He did. It is also great to think about the hope He has given us for the future – life in Heaven with Him. The Psalmist said, “This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.” While we are praising Him for the victories of the past and looking forward to what He has in store for…
