God’s ways never lead to sin, but my response to them can be to sin more. As in Paul’s day where they argued that if their sin led to God pouring out grace which made God look good, then how could he be mad at them for sinning? Maybe I should sin so that grace […]

I SHALL NOT WANT?
Either God’s promises are true or he is a liar and he claims to be unable to lie. A friend recently texted that she loves Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me. Still, she has trouble with Psalms 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want, (Presumably because […]

GOD’S VISION FOR ME?
A woman had a vision in which her life was a cesspool of misery and stench, she cried out to God to help her, she saw his hand reach out of heaven and she eagerly grasped it and felt his pull as God came down into her cesspool and put his arm around her and […]

DESIGN
DESIGN= everything that God has made, including you, is designed to be used according to certain principles for his preordained purposes: if I use them in other ways, according to my own PLEASURE I do so at my own PERIL! If I co-operate with his design principles but resent having to do so, I am criticizing […]

STRONG WEAKNESS
STRENGTH, what is it? I need to take a careful look at what it really is. When I think of a strong person, what comes to mind? Men often think that a strong man never feels sad, never cries, never needs or asks for help, never reveals a weakness, is never vulnerable, always gets his […]
One of the best clues as to what makes God tick, is to remember that (although flawed) we are still made in his image. Look at a human when functioning reasonably well, then realize that God is like that only better. Matthew 7.11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto […]
A sister in Christ writes: “I have so many character flaws that I am aware of more now. I am trying to work on them slowly. Not so easy. One is negativity. Another is trust, which I haven’t started on yet. “Want to overcome the negative the best I can first. I have many, many, […]

HE LOVES ME IN THE LITTLE DETAILS
The truth: if I am faithful in small things then God will entrust to me the great riches, has one meaning but many applications: The Lord has been talking to me about noticing and appreciating and benefiting from the “little things” he does for me, being faithful to appreciate the little evidences of his love.
