I have been reading through the book of Matthew this summer and the other day I was in chapter 15, specifically in verses 21-39 where the feeding of the 4,000 occurs. I have been doing a study by Tara Leigh Cobble alongside the book of Matthew and she made an interesting connection to the numberContinue reading “trust in God”

go to God.
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. Proverbs 1:23 I have been in a season of journaling where I oftenContinue reading “go to God.”
Self-Denial
“That we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name.” The end of the confession prayer. As I sat in church awhile back, I couldn’t help but think back to the book, Jesus Over Everything, and how this is what a life with Jesus is all about.Continue reading “Self-Denial”
Nonconforming
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Colossians 3:9-10 Take off our evil ways. Put on a life in accordance to the rule’s of Christ’s Kingdom.Continue reading “Nonconforming”
Quiet Ministry.
Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen. He is my Beloved, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest read or put out a flickering candle.Continue reading “Quiet Ministry.”
In the Psalms
My favorite place to be when the world feels dark and heavy, or even in my own personal life walking through sorrow or grief is in the Psalms. There is just something about the realness in them, the human heart behind each poem. They are deep in truth and meaning. But, my favorite part ofContinue reading “In the Psalms”
Weakness.
I have read and heard the verses in 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 many times. They are all about the Apostle Paul’s thorn in his side, his pleading with God to remove it, how and why God left it. And so, the famous bible verse became… “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is madeContinue reading “Weakness.”
Sovereign.
Jesus really is astonishing. I just finished reading through the Gospels simultaneously, something I have never done before. It was beautiful. It was like meeting Jesus all over again. I highly encourage you to do the same at some point in your walk with God. In Matthew 15 and Mark 7, we have the storyContinue reading “Sovereign.”
Seasons
I remember being in class as a kid and having the “golden rule” on the wall. It was something we repeated daily: do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Well, the other day I was deep into Luke 6 and there it was, right out of scripture: And as you wishContinue reading “Seasons”
I AM with you.
The story of Gideon is what I think, one of the better stories in the book of Judges. And this is what I love so much about Gideon, he is not afraid to bring his fear to God. He is face to face with the angle of the LORD and he questions Him! “Pardon me,Continue reading “I AM with you.”
