There is only one God. He is the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. He is God, who led the Israelite out of Egypt to safety. He is God, who split the Red Sea. He is God, who Stephen saw as he gave his last sermon. He is God, who saved humanity. He is God, […]

Chapter 24
Sometimes it’s difficult to get someone to understand my view of things. I, at times, hope that invoking logic or being vulnerable will compel people to see another reality than their own. However, many variables exist, which might impede people from accepting “my” reality as “real.” I am not in control of such variables. Neither […]

Chapter 23
The Lord makes a way out of no way. He makes the crooked straight. Yea, all his paths lead to righteousness. And though I might toil, the Lord blesses overabundantly. My work does not equal my rewards. For the Lord’s rewards are everlasting, And they are without corruption. His blessings endure in times of famine […]

Chapter 22
Lord, Heavenly Father, you create in me the new day. Do you not wake me early in the morning to pray? It is your voice that I hear. It is to your call that I heed. The desire of devotion you have planted in me like a seed. I watch it grow, but I don’t […]

Chapter 21
After Jesus was raised from the dead, he told his disciples this: “Teach all nations to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:20). The word that stuck out to me in this passage was observe. I believed that Jesus was not only talking about remembering the commandments. However, after I looked at […]

Chapter 20
The Lord took my shame. Yes, he wore it on the cross. He made a victory which was counted as a loss. Not because of my goodness, but because of his grace, He erased my sins. Behold! They have no trace. I am made new. A new life I live. Do I not marvel at […]

Chapter 19
Jesus said, “strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14). Here, Jesus tells us the gate and pathway to eternal life has a small opening and narrow road. Yet what does this mean for us when we consider that there is […]

The time is at hand. The kingdom is near. The Lord is the one who calls. He is the one to fear. For he comes from the clouds to reign on earth. He comes for the humans who have had a new birth. His light shines bright. Even blinding is his glory. His words come […]

Chapter 17
God is a rescuer to those who call on his name. What is his name? Is it not ‘God is with us?’ Is it not ‘Peace?’ Even Jesus is his name. A stumbling block to many. A stone that people are offended by. But a gracious King to those who humble their hearts. A loving […]

Chapter 16
Is not the Lord more than my physical body? What is my body compared to my soul? Is not a moment in the presence of the Lord more than a 1000 years on this earth? Indeed, I redeem the time only with the Lord Jesus Christ. He renews my spirit. Even God renews my soul. […]

Chapter 15
Heavenly Father, you are the reason I walk on the strait and narrow. You guide my steps to not stumble. I veer neither to the left nor to the right. The Lord takes my hand, firmly and gently. His voice is like thunders of water. He speaks, and all have to listen. None can deny […]

Chapter 14
My Lord, you are Lord of all. All who call on your name with a pure heart, you hear. Who am I to beckon you? Who am I to cause you to hear me? I am no one, Lord. Only because of your son, Jesus Christ, am I someone. You have made me whole with […]

Chapter 13
The Lord is a Light, he shines on the darkness. Yes, the darkness must dissipate in the Lord’s presence. The Lord forgives. My iniquities are thick. My sins are maroon. Dark crimson is my sin in the day. Dark maroon are my sins in the gross darkness. But Jesus Christ has made me white. Even […]

Chapter 12
Lord, you are great, and what great things you give. Why do you give to a wayward soul? My eyes have seen your glory, and I wait on your coming. I tremble at the thought of you being near and in front of me. Lord, you are forgiving. Your mercy stretches far to the sinner. […]

The Lord is with us, Immanuel is his name. He lives amongst us. He is here. He is near. What is his name? His name is Jesus. Wonderful Counselor. The Prince of Peace. He owns the Earth. He rules with equity and justice. He is meek. Yet his words are sharp, and they slay the […]

Lord, as I pray to you, you are the same God that split the Red Sea. You are the same God who opened up the heavens and flooded the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. You are the same God who did not suffer Israel to be utterly destroyed. Yes, you saved a remnant […]

What a blessing a prudent wife is. She is as one who marks her steps. Her words are like the finest gold. And her husband, who listens to her, is counted as one of the wise men. Where does a virtuous wife come from other than from the Lord? For the virtuous woman gives no […]

Chapter 8
Lord, I wait on your answer. I am a wretch and don’t deserve to hear your voice. My voice reaches from the pit. My soul stretches from the abyss. My tears can only fall upward. This is how sinners cry. Why is sickness all around? The feeble have no guide. There is no help on […]
