My Way or God’s Way
I have often noticed how we as humans do things backwards from the way God does. Is 55:8 aludes to that, and the whole chapter is about God’s work. This devotion is the result of several things I’ve read lately about people who love animals and hate people, who love a cause and kill to…

Asking, Seeking, Knocking and Finding
It amazes me how quickly my attention and asking what’s next shifts from you to what’s happening around me. And I get frustrated when I don’t get answers. In my devotions I was reminded (again) the answers I get from secular places only satisifes the secular. If I want Life answers, I need to ask…

God Hangs Pictures?

When No One Approves
This picture of David dancing in the streets in a victorious celebration Over the return of a precious symbol for his people. The nation was excited and celebrating with their king. And all Michal saw was a man who was not acting ‘kingly.’ And the scripture (NLT) records she felt contempt for him As…

There’s Something Wrong In Here
A scripture I’ve totally overlooked in Judges is a parable about the trees looking for a ruler. It inspired me to look deeper into what I allow to rule my life. It’s a cool parable….
