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.”

Patience.
When you order an item online, you are given an expected date of delivery. 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!”

The Illusion of Control!
Despite reading verses like Ephesians 1:11, Romans 8:28, and Proverbs 19:21, we continue, in our human efforts, limited thinking, moments of unbelief, and periods of lack of faith, to think that somehow and some way we can control our own lives. What plans did you make for your life one year ago? How about fiveContinue reading “The Illusion of Control!”
Those that Believe!
Let’s talk about John 20! After Jesus’ death and resurrection from the dead, He appeared to His disciples; all of them were present except Thomas. He showed them His wounds in His hands and side. After this occurred, the 11 disciples went back and told Thomas that Jesus had appeared to them. Thomas stated heContinue reading “Those that Believe!”
Speak it!
In my morning reading, I read Jeremiah chapter 28. Jeremiah was the Lord’s prophet who warned the people of Judah and Jerusalem to turn from their evil ways and become obedient to God. After many warnings, the Lord told Jeremiah to tell the people that war, famine, and disease would consume their land and driveContinue reading “Speak it!”
It is necessary!
In my devotional time this morning, I read Jeremiah 18. In verses one through six, God instructs Jeremiah to go to the potter’s house. When Jeremiah arrived, he noticed that the potter was working at the wheel. The vessel being made became marred so the potter crushed it and began to make it over again.Continue reading “It is necessary!”
