In this difficult season of life, there are two Scriptures that have given me encouragement, hope and strength. I’d like to share them with you today. They are… No temptation [trial] has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Cor. 10:13 ESV) Blessed is…..

Hello Everyone, I have two people in my life that I call my heroes. One of them went to her Eternal Rest this week, and is now safely in the arms of Jesus. The other is facing major surgery later this week. As a result, I will be away from my regular blogging for a time. I will be back as soon as circumstances permit. I praise and thank God for His faithfulness to carrying me through this season of…..

“your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10b NIV) Last week, I looked at Matt. 6:10a, which says, “your kingdom come.”  Today’s Scripture is the second part of that verse, Matt. 6:10b. When I was writing “Our Father: A Personal Journey of Discovery into the Lord’s Prayer,” this petition in the prayer was the topic of the fourth chapter in the book.  However, it was actually the first chapter that I wrote. My heavenly Father…..

My prayer for you today… For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how…..

“My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” (Job 42:5 NIV) I had planned to write on “Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6: 10b) today, but I’d like to share some thoughts about this Scripture from Job instead. I will write a little about Matt. 6:10b very soon. In this present season of life, I am surrounded by many trials. Can you relate? I suspect all of us…..

“your kingdom come,” (Matthew 6:10a NIV) Today’s Scripture is the 3rd petition of the Lord’s Prayer.  In my next blog, I will look at Matthew 6:10b (NIV), which says, “your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”  While both of these requests are closely related, I wanted to give each of them a deeper look separately, as I did in “Our Father: A Personal Journey of Discovery into the Lord’s Prayer.” Sometimes we can think of the…..

In my blog this week, “Your Name is Holy,” I talked about how we show our love, respect, and reverence to God by following His instructions given to us throughout Scripture. The Apostle Paul is a good example of someone who acknowledges God’s holiness. In 1 Cor. 2:1-5 (NIV), we see his acknowledgement of his own weakness, and of the Holy Spirit’s power working in and through him. That Scripture says, “And so it was with me, brothers and sisters……

“hallowed be your name,” (Matthew 6:9b NIV) In my last blog, I shared a little of my journey with you of discovering God as my heavenly Father. That awareness has been life-changing for me.  When I pray the first petition in the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father in heaven,” I now understand what it means in a personal way. I was taught the Lord’s Prayer at a young age, but I didn’t always grasp the real meaning of the prayer’s first…..

In the blog that I posted on Friday, I talked about how God revealed Himself to me as my Father, and affirmed me as His child – His daughter. Knowing that has been life-changing for me. The foundation of my relationship with my heavenly Father is based on my communication with Him through prayer. I used to feel that God was too busy to bother with little ole me. He surely had more important things that needed and deserved His…..

“‘Our Father in heaven…” (Matthew 6:9a NIV) In my book, “Our Father: A Personal Journey of Discovery into the Lord’s Prayer,” I break down each petition of the Lord’s Prayer – one per chapter.  In my upcoming blogs, I will take a look at each one, and share a little of my journey of discovering it in a personal way. Fear has been a life-long issue for me, which was brought to a “head” in 2004/05 as I came to…..
