Guilty of All
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 KJV What a fearful thought! This is the reason I do not like confrontation: I am guilty of part, therefore I am guilty of all. Do you ever stop and think about what you might … Continue reading Guilty of All
Sure
“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” 2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV) When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort.

The Rain
Bring on the rain… Honestly, some days I feel like I need a good cleaning. I feel so dry and dirty…I need that refreshing shower to come and wash away my guilt and shame. It’s been naturally dry in my little area of the world, and I’ve spent many breaths asking for the rain. The … Continue reading The Rain

I was reading about Jeremiah warning Zedekiah, telling him what the Lord God had said. How Jeremiah explained that salvation was in surrender, something the king couldn’t understand. Zedekiah didn’t surrender; he stayed in Judah waiting on the siege. And I wondered, do I do the same? Do I try to save face and fear … Continue reading Surrender

Prayer and Praise
“If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3 KJV I was thinking about traditions the other day, about what they are. How we do things in certain ways at set times to symbolize something that has meaning to us. I was lamenting the seeming end of a family tradition. This verse … Continue reading Prayer and Praise
Prayer
Have you ever needed to pray for something, but didn't know the words to use? Have you ever sat and cried just because it was all you could do? Have you ever sighed so loud, with so much weight on your mind? Or ever stopped in your tracks, looked up, helpless as a child? These … Continue reading Prayer
