The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10 ABUNDANT: (adj.) Existing or available in large quantities; plentiful; more than enough. Until yesterday, I confess, I have been very short-sighted about this word. I guess when I think “abundant,” I …
I have hidden your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11 Welcome to “ABC Devotions for Kids“! Did you know that God wrote the Bible just for you? He created you in His image, to be more like Him, but He didn’t just create you and then turn you …
I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Psalm119:11 This blog was born in January of this year. At that time, I didn’t know what shape it would take, but God has been giving me single words and asking me to dig deeper into the implications of these …
So, I’m not unlike anybody else in this fallen world. There are peaks and valleys in this life we live, and sometimes the peaks AND the valleys take my breath away! I love the peaks and dread the valleys…but God is gradually, tenderly teaching me to appreciate the valleys, too. I mean, without the valleys, …
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21. Do you have a favorite Super Hero? …
This one is also not a topical word study of scripture. I can’t think of any of them! HA! However, this is another “revelation” post! When you grow up in church, you hear about sin. Then, I think we take the liberty of defining sin. Well, obviously, if it breaks one of the 10 Commandments, …
Today’s post isn’t a word study. Today, God is giving me revelation into my own struggles, sins, perceptions, and realities…and asking me to be raw and transparent with what He is teaching me about them. I’ve been thinking a lot about rejection, lately. You see, it’s always been a stronghold in my life. As a …
In my last post, I talked quite a bit about trials and tribulations and how they press us to refine and prepare us for heaven. However, training us for eternity isn’t the only benefit of the trials and struggles that we face in this life. The trials that we endure on earth also train us …
It amazes me how God is opening my mind to see seemingly simple words in so many profound ways! This is another “doozie” of a word with multiple meanings, lessons, and implications! A couple of weeks ago, my mother in law was telling me about a situation at our nephew’s basketball game in which one …
I have been pondering grace a lot, lately. It’s another big word! The dictionary definition of grace, in a human sense, is simple elegance and refined movement. I looked up God’s grace, and it is defined as “unmerited favor,” a gift of His goodness that we do not deserve and could not earn if we …
