Jesus began to teach what we know as The Sermon on the Mount. This is one sermon with multiple points; it extends throughout chapters five through seven.

Matthew Chapter Four
This chapter is so full of reflective points so let’s get into it. We ended chapter three with Jesus being baptized and the Spirit of God descending upon Him. Chapter four verse one tells us that the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted. Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights whileContinue reading “Matthew Chapter Four”
Matthew Chapter Three.
The verse that stood out the most to me in this chapter was 14. Jesus had come to John and requested that he baptize Him. John initially refused by saying he should be the one being baptized by Jesus. Let’s talk about John! Imagine the Son of God in His great majesty requesting for youContinue reading “Matthew Chapter Three.”
Matthew Chapter Two.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem to His mother, Mary, and step-father, Joseph. (I smile every time I think of Joseph being Jesus’ “step-father”.) When He was born, wise men followed a star to Jerusalem looking for Him so that they could offer Him gifts and worship Him. When King Herod heard that the wise menContinue reading “Matthew Chapter Two.”
Matthew Chapter One.
Hey friend! This month, in addition to any words that God gives me, we will be studying the book of Matthew. Yesterday, as I was writing a reflection on the chapter that I read, I felt the nudge to post my reflection as a blog post so here we are. I pray that you willContinue reading “Matthew Chapter One.”
Life is as a Vapor.
Tonight I went to a service in honor of the National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims. This service was the first of its kind in my area, and I must say that it was a very nice one. During the service, everyone was allotted the opportunity to light a candle in remembrance of theContinue reading “Life is as a Vapor.”

Depending upon the shipper’s location, the weather conditions, the time of the year, and the delivery service, the expected date of delivery can change. I recently experienced this with an order I’d placed on Amazon. I chose that particular item becauseContinue reading “Patience.”
Your promise.
Forsake can be defined as “to abandon, to give up, or to turn away from”. I want to encourage you to not forsake your promise. Hebrews chapter 10 verses 35 and 36 read, “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you. Patient endurance is whatContinue reading “Your promise.”
To Your Knees.
Hey y’all! I know that I have some explaining to do regarding my absence. The only way that I can sum these last few months up is by saying God is yet transforming me back to my original state which is in His image and likeness. Life has its way of adding to and takingContinue reading “To Your Knees.”
KNOW!
At some point in time, you have heard, read, or referenced the first portion of Psalm 46:10 which states, “Be still and know that I am God”. Let’s talk! What does it mean to be still? In a few of my previous postings, I have written about resting in God, not attempting to “work for”Continue reading “KNOW!”
