A daily walk in faith, hope and love
DAY 116 John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. '"Today, I will do whatever I want and say whatever I want'. That sounds very much like a regular pep talk you might tell yourself at some point in... Continue Reading →
DAY 115 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, then, under God's mighty hand, so that he will lift you up in his own good time. God does his lifting and exalting at the right time because He understands the consequences of power and influence on the untransformed mind. Of note, you don't do the lifting, that...

DAY 114 After the multiplication of bread, we see the crowd desperately looking for Jesus. In fact, they jumped into boats unsure if He was at their set destination.

DAY 108 John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Among the many things that continues to be fascinating is the very concept of 'air'. Science... Continue Reading →
