Sovereignty is one of God’s attributes that brings me much comfort and hope. God’s sovereignty verses throughout the Bible reveal God as the All-sufficient, supreme ruler of all that is. For example, in the Book of Exodus God reveals Himself and His mighty power in such miraculous ways defying the laws of nature over and over. Just…
In studying the Old Testament book of Leviticus, I’ve noticed the word “holy.” A lot. In fact, the word “holy” appears 94 times in this book! That’s almost twice as many times as the book with the next highest word count of 56, the book of Isaiah. As you can tell, a huge part of…
A few years ago, on a Saturday morning, two women knocked on my door to talk with me about Jesus and their church. Great. Right? So, I asked them what they believed about Jesus. And they proceeded to turn to the Old Testament and show me chapter 8 in the Book of Proverbs. What these…
In our efforts to console friends and loved ones in their trying times, we try to appease them with words such as “God will never fail you.” It’s hard to see victory when you’re in battle. We forget there is nothing too hard for God, until He brings us out. God is faithful. His Word…
As I was praying the other day, I thanked God, as I often do, for His grace…His amazingly wonderful grace. God graciously answers prayer after prayer for me…generously, too.

One of my weaknesses is that I forget names. I do a lot of… “Hey, girl! How are you?” It’s really embarrassing, but what can I say? Oh, no. I just gave away my secret! Although I may forget names, I do remember major life events. Like my salvation, my elopement (It’s the quiet ones…
God longs to bless His people. And expresses that desire in the form of His promises to us in His Bible. Are you in need of a word from God today? A promise from God to carry you through your day, your week, your life? I’m sure that one of these promises of God in…
I love plants, and flowers especially. They add so much joy to a room. But I don’t have much of a green thumb. O.K. I don’t have a green thumb. At all. In fact, it is a joke in my house that if I buy a plant, I have sentenced it to a short life….
Jesus has been betrayed, and forsaken by all but two of His disciples. The Jews bring Him to Pilate seeking His death. In response to Pilate’s questioning, Jesus references truth. Then… Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them,…
