Inquiring Minds 07/14/24
A thought exercise… If you could ask G-d today for one wish – what would you ask for? Take a moment… Now think bigger. Ok now would that change if He asked you the same question yet this time you are in Heaven with Him? And what would your answer be? Now He is not…
“Thoughts from the Wilderness…” Devotional 07/12/24
Not only are we too quick to judge ourselves and our fellow man, we are too quick to complain. We complain about how our food tastes. We complain about how people don’t live up to our expectations (we don’t have the right). We complain when we get cut off in traffic. We complain about the…
“Thoughts from the Wilderness…” Devotional 07/08/24
Adversity. Why do we suffer? Do we truly suffer? If we have Christ are we ever really suffering? These are hard. We humans know pain. We feel it in our achy joints as we age. We feel it in our first relationship heartbreak. We know it when we have a job or family loss. We…
“Thoughts from the Wilderness…” Devotional 07/07/24
What are your gifts? What are your abilities? Whom do you attribute that gave you them? As I was driving, see I don’t know about you and where He speaks to you 1:1 but it is usually Him and I and the open road here in the mountains, the thought that was laid upon me…
“Thoughts from the Wilderness…” Devotional 07/02/24
Confession time! Is it not interesting how when “things” come together when you need to “hear” something. Circumstance, nope – G-d’s providence all the more likely as He moves and weaves Himself and His will into our lives. I say that almost too easily. The L-rd is speaking all the time yet our ears aren’t…
“Thoughts from the Wilderness…” Devotional 07/01/24
Today, I want to start writing fairly often I hope what I am considering as a daily expression of love and thoughts about and/or for our L-rd and His people. I am going to call this, “Thoughts from the Wilderness”. Today’s thought from the Wilderness – 07/01/24 I have because He gives I want because…
Response to the Topic of Walking in the Holy Spirit (Sep22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month we enlisted ourselves trying to seek after the Holy Spirit. Yet I must challenge that right off the starting line. I think we are being pursued. In fact, I believe we are already purchased, just on layaway. We are on layaway! And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,…
Response to the Topic of Being Transformed by Scripture (Oct22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month we sought to be surrendered by the transformation of the Holy Scriptures. When we are immersed in water, we stay wet, when we leave the environment – we eventually dry out and there is not any evidence most likely that we were ever soaked. Such is the need to stay…
Response to the Topic of Growing in Prayer & Faith (Nov22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection Wherever the providence of God may dump us down, in a slum, in a shop, in the desert, we have to labour along the line of His direction. Never allow this thought—“I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly can be of no use where you are not! Wherever…
Response to the Topic of Walking in Humility (Dec22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection “Try not to become a man of success,” said Albert Einstein, “but try to become a man of value.” While there may be some exceptions, it is usually true that valuable people are eventually recognized and appropriately honored. Success that comes only from self-promotion is temporary, and you may be embarrassed as…
