Father may I #OWNit365
It's funny how a verse can be so foreboding and comforting at the same time. On one hand, it's apparent that Satan is going to be given access to Peter & the disciples. You don't need to be a biblical…

it's WAR. #OWNit365
What a powerful, frightening verse where Jesus essentially says "I was am the Son of God who wields the power of Heaven and have a job to do. Once I do it... I will be gone and it will be WAR." A heavy…

Praying and Effort and Healing, OH MY! #OWNit365
It's amazing how much about God can be crammed into a verse. The longer I looked at this verse the more it said: GOD HAD MERCY ON MANY WHEN ONE MAN PRAYED In the midst of a time when God's people had…

His WHAT endures forever? #OWNit365
I find it so very significant that when this nation, immersed in building, serving, sacrificing, working, etc. is ready to finally dedicate this amazing temple (that is now so filled with the sacrifice-incinerating…

Talk to the hand... God's hand... #OWNit365
Love this little moment. Samuel, amazingly powerful man of God: "But God! I can't obey you! Saul will kill me! (and apparently God can't stop him!)" God: "ANYWAY, take a heifer with you and say..."…

Sticks and stones... #OWNit365
What a great little verse with powerful word pictures. GOD'S Word is clear on the power of OUR words (i.e. James 3), reminding us they can build up, create and destroy. If God is indeed "with us," as…

A shrubbery by any other name...
For many years I've read this scripture and thought "God did a miracle for Moses to see who He was," and moved on. But today I wondered "Why a burning bush?" Let's be honest, this was not a miracle of…

"I see stupid people!" #ownit365
As I read about the Israelites leaving Egypt, wandering the desert, etc. and the seemingly idiotic decisions they make, I'm starting to realize that while they were indeed God's chosen, and the apple…

Fear the Lord... no really. #ownit365
For some reason I like the fact that Scripture tells us here that God got mad, and just straight up fried some people that were complaining. It reminds me of a couple things. 1) God hears us. God hears…

Wasted effort & thoughts
I just wonder how many times God has said this to me and I didn't hear. All I had to do was "be still" but I agonized, worried, planned and created countless contingency plans, ready for the worst. On…

Joy Independent
This tiny verse jumped out to me in my current unemployed state. The description of David's joy being more than when all his worldly things are abundant, reminded me that my joy in Christ HAS to be independent…
