EVERY DETAIL MATTERS
“And this shall be a statute forever for you, that atonement may be made for the people of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” And Aaron did as the Lord commanded Moses. Leviticus 16:34, ESV These last few weeks, my evening devotional time has taken me to Leviticus. Reading through the […]
THE LEAVEN AND THE LIGHT
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us celebrate the feast, not with […]
IT’S NOT GOSSIP IF I TELL IT TO GOD
But…this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. 1 Samuel 8:6, NKJV When Samuel, the last of Israel’s judges, was near the end of his life, the people of Israel were worried about who would lead them next.

HAPPY
A happy heart makes the face cheerful. Proverbs 15:13, NIV Have you ever heard the saying “If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy?” It’s not exactly proper English, but the thought is very true.

AGAPE LOVE
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16, NIV John experienced the love of Jesus firsthand. He knew how it felt to receive unconditional love that was not dependent on his actions or […]
HIS NAME
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10, NIV The Lord’s name is the name above all names. Knowing His name is comfort and strength.

FOR SUCH A TIME
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this? Esther 4:14, NIV In chapter 4 of Esther, Mordecai tells […]
AUTHENTIC GENEROSITY
Then the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and […]
