Since I am on break, I have started reading a new book. The title of the book is “Idols of the Heart,” written by Elyse Fitzpatrick. In chapter 3 she walks through the 10 commandments from the stand point of idolatry. I thought today I would just share some thoughts from her book. God’s primary […]

Bible Reading Luke 12 1 Peter 5 Devotional Thoughts The Lord continues to show me that anxiety and stress is a heart issue, not the result of my circumstances. While circumstances can be very stressful, and pressure can come from many different outside people and events, it’ still my thinking, and what’s going on in my […]

Bible Reading 1 Peter 4 Devotional Thoughts The last few weeks (actually most of November I guess, I have only written 4 times this month) I have allowed myself to become stressed.

I was reminded of this fact as I have been reading the account of Saul’s descent from the throne in I Samuel. Saul started out humble. So much so that […]

Bible Reading 1 Corinthians 2 Psalm 36 Devotional Thoughts Yesterday we read in 1 Cor 1:21 that God intended for his ways never to be understood by human wisdom. And that, we would in fact look like fools in the eyes of the world. (1 Cor 1:18) So, in chapter 2 Paul declares that he […]

Bible Reading: Romans 13 Psalm 31 Devotional ThoughtsDavid’s confidence in God is just incredible. After stating (Psalm 31:13) “I have heard many rumors about me, and I am surrounded by terror. My enemies conspire against me, plotting to take my life.” David confidently declares, “But I am trusting you, O Lord… my future is in […]

Bible Reading 1 Samuel 17 Psalm 33 Romans 15 Devotional ThoughtsHow great is your God? I mean truly? Not what does the Bible say, nor what can you give mental assent to, but truly how great is your God. If you were David as a 15 year old boy, standing in the valley facing a […]
