Day 25 of God’s Love for Us November 14, 2017 Today’s verse of love for us comes from Habakkuk. ” I heard and my inward parts trembled, at the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, and in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, for the people to arise who will invade us.” (Habakkuk 3:16) He knew trouble was coming because his country had no protection from their enemies that surrounded them. Today, we live in a chaotic world with enemies all around as well. They are tearing away at the Read More

Day 9 of God’s Love for Us
July 29, 2017
“Rejoice and exult with all your heart,…The Lord has taken away His judgements against you, He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You will fear disaster no more.”(Zephaniah 3:14-15)
When we draw near to God, we find happiness. Things of this world that make us “happy” fade away typically. There is more happiness in eternity than in things that fade away.
Can We be Face to Face?
Can We be Face to Face? – July 13, 2017 – There are more than 300 million people in the US alone. But yet many of us feel totally alone. How is that possible? For every person on this Earth there is another planet in our galaxy. Isn’t it amazing that 1 God knows every star and planet, as well as you? King David said, “For You (God) formed my inward parts, you wove me in my mother’s womb.” “…I am fearfully and wonderfully made;” “And in Your book were written all the days of my life.” (Psalm 139:13,14,16) If Read More
Ownership is Everything
Ownership is Everything – July 12, 2017 – “Ownership is everything” was a phrase I heard in the car business. It implied owning the right kind of car or truck that would encourage someone to purchase it for a good price, or, for a higher greater price. I tried very hard to cater to that market by making my cars and trucks uniquely shine better than my competition. I put my heart into every vehicle I sold, knowing that when I did, someone would notice and buy it. When I didn’t do my best, that is where my struggles began. Read More
Invitation to Happiness
Invitation to Happiness April 5, 2017 God’s Word is the greatest invitation to happiness that we can ever experience. He tells Isaiah in chapter 55 “Come, buy wine and milk (nourishment) without money (v1); Listen that you may hear (v3); and Call upon Him while He is near (v6).” Jesus tells us through Matthew in 7:1 “Ask,and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened.” All of these take faith that “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the Read More
Help Yourself
Help Yourself Feb 21, 2017 How can you really help yourself? Can you help yourself by doing more? But doing more of what? I can help my back pain by stretching, moving, and resting; I can help my head cold by taking my meds, getting outside in fresh air, and resting. Yes, doing activity helps, but resting helps equally. To help ourselves best find happiness, we need to “rest” in the Lord and ask Him for help and guidance. God wants a relationship with us. In return, He will give us direction, abundance, love, and most of all happiness. Read More
Limiting God
Limiting God Feb 16, 2017 From reading about Caleb, Joshua, & Paul, they wholeheartedly believed in God, His power, His word as truth, and His desire of a relationship with them. Through our belief in Jesus, we can have that same relationship with God. Are there ways in life that you limit what God could have done or can do in your life? If so, seek a better relationship with Jesus to find what joy, happiness, and possibilities can be for you. (Photos from Our Daily Bread daily devotionals)
