Andrew Murray urges Quiet Communion with God as a gift we give ourselves: Secret Fellowship to study God’s Word… to seek His face and ask Him to reveal Himself to us… to make our needs known to Him in words that come from the depths of our hearts… to let Him increase in us and Read More …
Unabashedly Asking?
This day, I am unabashedly asking God Most High to open hearts that have closed against Him; that have hardened shut; that are mocking or scoffing at His Word; that are despising His warnings. To Him, I lift up my soul, calling upon His Mercy to reveal that there are many lesser gods and higher Read More …
Sennacherib?
Hezekiah was right, and I have proof. The Lord has sent just what I needed in this new land to which we relocated in 2017. But, I have had to watch and wait for clarity on what exactly I need for nourishment, and that has been trying for me, who can be impatient to say Read More …
Growing Old?
You may already know that I collect SNIPPETS THAT INSPIRE. Today, I am quoting Max Lucado, who wrote in “Grace for the Moment” based on Isaiah 46:4 that says, “Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned grey, I will take care of you” as follows: “Growing Read More …
Minimizing A Mess?
My thanks to Rehabs 411 for posting this image on Facebook. It reminds me how I have learned the hard way to be vigilant about “taking out the rubbish” from this “tent” I inhabit. When I minimize a mess or try to ignore it, my teeth are set on edge (aka clenched) and Denial eats Read More …
At The Heart?
My thanks to Lecia Maria for posting this photograph on Twitter. It reminds me that God does not need to guess at the condition of my heart. Solomon says, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts.” I am grateful that He will pursue me like Read More …
Have You Ever?
Have you ever seen Divine Intervention? I have, and I wrote a book about it that is called “Whit’s End: Breakdown to Breakthrough.” It is a snapshot my journey through alcoholism to recovery of myself, our marriage, and God’s idea of what it means to be a family. If there were a genre for a Read More …
Reaching for the Unknown?
I love the part in the Book of Acts about how the men in Athens enjoyed gathering at the Aeropagus “either to tell or to hear some new thing.” When Paul arrived there, he noticed their interest in religious and various gods, and that they even had an altar inscribed TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Wasn’t Read More …
Are These Things True?
When it comes to considering the claims of Christ, it apparently helps to be like the people of Berea “who were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica.” The Bereans listened to the message, received the word and searched the Scriptures to find out whether these things were so. Daily. Do you? Can we know such Read More …
Does the Heart Matter?
Only a few kings in ancient Israel’s whole history had hearts that followed in the ways of the LORD. “Few” means few, and so, finally, “God gave them over to their own stubborn hearts to walk in their own counsels.” Does this apply, do you think, in modern times, or not? Chime in if you Read More …
