A Time for Everything

"To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1)


Six years ago, I began writing these devotionals with a simple goal: to encourage us all to look beyond the busyness of everyday life and remember what really matters in the life of a Christian.

Feelings

We all have them -- emotions that invade our souls. Some are wonderful; others are awful!

Just a Suggestion

I recently read that the reason we pray is simply that we cannot help praying. One of the most surprising facts about humanity is that no tribe has been found whose people did not pray to one or more gods.

Thirsty

The word “thirsty” is defined as being parched, dry, or dehydrated. Prolonged dehydration can affect our concentration, influence our mood, and lead to serious health complications.

Be Encouraged

Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, “Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was healed at that moment.

(Matthew 9:22; see also: Mark 5:34, Luke 8:48)

Paper Cuts

It happens much too often. I’m hurrying to open an envelope, not paying much attention, when suddenly -- OUCH! A dreaded paper cut!
