WOW! When I recently read this acronym of the word "persevere," my insides leapt up and down, cheering "YESSSSS!" Let it soak into you and see how it connects to you! Mac Anderson wrote: I can only wish that I had BJ Gallagher's book, The Best Way Out is Always Through: The Mary Kay Ash [...]
Recently I was reading a part of Corrie Ten Boom's little book, Plenty for Everyone, and these two verses in Exodus 14 gripped me. See what the Lord says to you - Exodus 14:13-14 (King James Version) 13And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, [...]
Take a Calgon Moment with God in these words...soak in them and see what He says to you - Though it tarries, wait for it... (Habakkuk 2:3). Oswald Chambers said that it takes patience to wait for the vision. What am I talking about? Read on... He went on to say: "Patience is not the [...]
So what seems to be catching your attention these days? What do you stare at? Why...what draws you to it? Here's a "truth-to-live-by" from Jesus Calling. The Lord says to us, MAKE ME YOUR FOCAL POINT as you move through this day. Just as a spinning ballerina must keep returning her eyes to a given [...]
Whadda ya think about that title, "What are Your Roots In?"...hmmm, what thoughts and ideas come to mind as you read it, "What Are Your Roots In?...

This morning, my mind is thinking about 2 Timothy, chapter 3 and how bad different things are becoming in our world! (BTW, whenever you have time, read the first 5 verses of this chapter and see what stands-out to you.) In the midst of it all, this truth spoken by Hudson Taylor years and years [...]
Be ready to face the Lord Jesus at any and every turn... Here are some thoughts from Oswald Chambers: Jesus rarely comes where we expect Him; He appears where we least expect Him, and always in the most illogical situations...This sense of expectation will give our life the attitude of childlike wonder. He goes on [...]
In her book, Plenty for Everyone, Corrie ten Boom writes, Denying ourselves, taking up our crosses, and following Jesus is not like jumping from an aeroplane towards earth with parachutes on our backs. It means being safe in the hands of Jesus, yoke-fellows with Him; His joy in us, and our joy fulfilled. Paratroopers for [...]
Two verses are on my mind this morning that both have the word "cast" in them: 1) 1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you and 2) Hebrews 10:35 - Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. And with all of this and [...]
