Following His Path To Something Beautiful
I was sitting in the first 2 verses of Psalm 91 this week. That was where God had me, because everything else felt overwhelming. A lot of times my struggles feel like a battle. But this didn’t feel a battle. It felt like I was in a storm. And it felt like the storm came [...]
I was reading about the Lord’s prayer in Luke 11 today. Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. And I was caught by how Jesus opens His prayer. Father, hallowed be your name. This week I had thought a lot about holiness, and what that means. God being holy seems like an [...]
How many of you do words for the year? I know many of you don't. It isn't right or wrong to do one or not, but somehow they end up being fitting for me. You can read about my word of the year from last year here. But my word of the year this year [...]
Be still. That was my word for 2022. Technically 2 words but you get the point. Be still and know He is God. As I have reflected on the past year this week, those 2 words (and Psalm 46:10) couldn't have been more appropriately. My heart and mind has had to be quieted, still, and [...]
As I have shared this Christmas season, I have been pondering what makes Christmas so wondrous. I have written that what makes it wondrous is that His birth was only to be accomplished by God, our promised King was born who reign would never end, God made impossible reality, and that God's promise was fulfilled [...]
Have you ever heard about the 400 years before Jesus came, and the significance of that? It is the time between the end of the book Malachi and the time when Jesus was born. And as far as anyone knows, God did not speak, and no scripture was written. This time in history is just [...]
So this is my third past about what makes Christmas so wondrous. You can read the first post here, and the second post here. But today my focus is going to be on Zechariah (The husband of Elizabeth, and father of John the baptist who would "prepare the way of the Lord"), Mary, and Joseph, [...]
Over the Fall we finished a study on Joshua, and Judges. As we finished Judges, and we began to approach Christmas, I became increasingly excited to look at the birth of Jesus, and behold what makes Christmas so wondrous. One of the reasons is one thing that has stuck out to me from the Old [...]
This Christmas season I have been considering what makes Christmas so wondrous. In doing so, through my time in the Word, I have been shown things that I have never realized before. So over the next few posts, I want to share with you what I have been learning about why this season truly is [...]
Psalm 23. One of the most familiar psalms I have known my whole life. I still recall the melody of this psalm that we sang in Sunday School. It is a nice psalm, but in looking at it more, I am realizing more of its meaning. Specifically, in regards to a phase in Psalm 23:3, [...]
