A daily walk in faith, hope and love
PRIDE GOES BEFORE A FALL 98/365 Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Men like to be 'up'- be the best, be at the top, be seen as successful. No one wakes up and has as a life's target the desire to be at... Continue Reading →
97/365 THREAT ASSESSMENT John 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. A threat is a mental assessment made after looking carefully at a situation. Different people might perceive different situations with different eyes- thus what one... Continue Reading →
96/365 A DELICATE BALANCE I attended a workshop today and it was a day for some deep learning about self and others. Among the things I heard was this one statement which had quite a bit of an impact: "You can't bring all of your heart to your workplace all of the time, but you... Continue Reading →
95/365 Genesis 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. Abraham came from a blood line of common folk, not earthly royalty.

For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.” As people grow, learn and experience things, their tastes... Continue Reading →
DISCOVERING YOUR WHY 92/365 John 8:14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. Jesus was telling His audience 'I know my origin,... Continue Reading →
91/365 LOOK AHEAD Isaiah 43:18 Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Today's scripture employs the use of two action words 'remember' and 'consider'. Although the instruction is to do neither, the latter is of interest in our discourse today. Consider is used in more active terms to suggest 'thinking... Continue Reading →
90/365 A SINGLE-SIDED VIEW Reference: John 7:40-53 Regarding the same Jesus, there were multiple view points and arguments about who he was.
