Daily encouragement for Christians
We all have had days when we felt like the world and everything in it was against us. We felt defeated at the end of the day–a lie from Satan. The truth is: “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare even his own Son, but gave him […]
Do you think you’ve seen it all? Have you ever heard of Leviathan; the mystical creature of the sea? Does he exist in your mind as fact or fiction? If you are among the many who believe he is the product of a wild imagination I challenge you to read Job 40-41. God gives […]
Do you have too much in your food pantry? Do you waste considerable time trying to make a meal plan from all of the choices in your storeroom? Does it make you feel secure to know your food source is not in danger of running out soon? Perhaps the Lord allowed you to have so […]
On vacation in the Tennessee mountains, some of us decided we wanted to see the house at the top, so we set off for an adventure up the slope–in a two-wheel-drive vehicle. We slowly climbed until the wheels began to spin–we were stuck. I pondered how God would rescue us; He knew what was coming […]
“Sh’ma Yisra’el! ADONAI Eloheinu, ADONAI echad (Hear Isra’el! ADONAI our God; ADONAI is one).” (Deuteronomy 6:4) These are the words God commanded his people to keep in their hearts, on their headbands, tied to their hands and affixed to their doorposts.

“There is no God besides me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me. Look at me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God; there is no other.” (Isaiah 45:21-22) Have you given Father the seat of honor in your heart? It requires you to get […]
I started today with three possible topics to write about. I did my regular reading schedule, picked up my pen, and began tumbling those ideas through my head, waiting for one to fall in the slot–like a bingo or lottery ball. But my mind kept jumping back to the last thing I had read this […]
I used to attend a Messianic Jewish church led by an undeniably Spirit-led rabbi. At one Shabbat service, the rabbi made a statement that rattled me for a moment. I don’t remember his exact words but he told the congregation, emphatically, that anyone who had been attending regularly for a year or more and had […]
“Rejoice in this, even though for a little while you may have to experience grief in various trials.” (1 Peter 1:6) Rejoice in what?
