How Can I Say Thanks?

How Can I Say Thanks?

“How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me? Things so undeserved, Yet you gave to prove Your love for me; The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. All that I am, and ever hope to be, I owe it all to You.”* I am holding in […]

Pondering Plunder

Plunder is not a common part of our vocabulary – or our experience. We simply don’t do a lot of plundering in this day and age. However, that wasn’t the case in Bible times. The “PS” to every battle won was the plunder – cows, sheep, gold, silver, even people – all considered the rightful […]

“Magnificent Wisdom” for the Mundane

We tend to delegate God’s instructions and wisdom for spiritual areas of our lives. Thankfully, God doesn’t make that distinction. In Isaiah 28:26 we read, “God instructs him and teaches him the right way.” And then in the 29th verse it goes on to declare… “All this comes from the Lord Almighty, wonderful in counsel […]
