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. 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, …
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, …
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 …
Our church has created a new mission acronym for its members, and each week, our pastor has been unfolding it. The acronym is LION, and the “I” is “Impacting the World.” It’s really gotten me thinking. This word is a bit like the Kool-Aid post in that it isn’t a “go dig in the Word …
This is the longest word so far. God seems to be handing me words, like gifts, and asking me to unwrap them! When He first revealed this word to my heart, I was unsure about what He would have me write. After all, I could only think of a couple of verses containing this word. …
I’m actually having a hard time wrapping myself around this one. While some of my other words have seemed small at first glance, this one is a doozie, in its own right! I mean, who am I to presume to write about this one?! And what on earth can I say that hasn’t been said …
Well, when I think I’ve written the last post about a single word…He lays a few more on me. This is like a scavenger hunt! I have prayed over the years that He would give me words to study and help me figure out why…but He’s never answered that prayer until the last few weeks! …
The last word of the TRUST acronym (Taking Refuge Under (His) Sovereign Truth) was TRUTH! I knew when I got “trust” that truth was next! These two words are definitely, inherently connected! According to an online dictionary, “truth” is an obvious, accepted, or verifiable fact or reality. This dictionary also said that this word is …
