As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart (Psalm 27:19). You know how, sometimes, a verse of scripture will jump off of the page and fill in a piece of your aching heart…that you might not even know you had? We can read a verse a hundred times, and one day, the …
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone (Colossians 4:6). Sometimes, no matter how much God teaches me, I am amazed at how much He teaches me! There are SO MANY verses about mouths, tongues, and words in the Bible! This is another …
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7). Once again, God has led me to an under-studied word. Let’s face it: we don’t think about feet very often. The Bible …
Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might (Ecclesiastes 9:10). We are told to bless, love, and encourage each other. Be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Next, we will pray for our hearing. Our ears are very important but often overlooked! What does the Word say about our hearing? I heard something on the radio this week about the different levels of using our senses. Isn’t it funny how God connects things (like school kickoff speeches and radio content) to give …
The very first area he prayed over for the kids was their minds. This makes perfect sense. So many of our problems in this world begin between our ears! What does the Bible say about how we think? Look them up, and commit them to memory. Sometimes, we simply need to be reminded of the …
Yesterday, I attended the first-day kickoff assembly at my daughters’ school. This is one of my favorite events of the year! The kids get a pep talk from the principal, pastor, and teachers. They learn the theme for the year and get to meet new kids who are joining the school family. This year’s theme …
One thing about prayer…if you are willing to pray it, you’d better be ready for God to knock your socks off! As I have asked Him to open my eyes to various things, He has done exactly that! We (at least “I”) tend to spend lots of time asking God to get us OUT of …
