No Shepherd

More food for thought. 

God Bless.


So my people are wandering like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no shepherd. (NLT)

Do you ever feel as though you are just wandering through life? Without a shepherd in our lives, we leave ourselves vulnerable to attack. Attacks from others and even attacks against ourselves can come our way. Make room in your life for God to provide purpose and direction.

In The Same Way

Interesting. 

God Bless.


In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches.  But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. (NLT)

The exhaustive list of recognized anxiety disorders is a poignant expression of how many different ways people try to cope with fear, and fail miserably at it. Anxiety is caused when people try to cope with the lack of control over circumstances which stems from sins inflicted by others, by their own doing, and or as a result of medical issues. God expects us to surrender all of our fears to Him and trust Him to work for our good in every situation. This requires living a life of total surrender obedience to His Word and making lifestyle changes in order to become healthy in body and mind.

Jesus is Alive

Food for thought.


Jesus Is Alive


He is not here, but is risen!
- Luke 24:6, NKJV

It was early Sunday morning before dawn. An elite, handpicked Roman guard was watching the tomb in which Jesus of Nazareth had been laid. Knowing their very lives depended upon their vigilance, the eyes of the soldiers never dimmed, their bodies never relaxed as they carried out their assignment to keep any and all away from the tomb. No one was to get in. Certainly no one was to get out!

Suddenly, in the darkness, the ground began to rumble and shake as though a mighty rocket was being launched, and a violent earthquake erupted. Then, before the horror-filled gaze of the guards, against the inky blackness of night, an angel clothed in light as dazzling as new snow under a noonday sun descended from heaven, walked over to the tomb, rolled away the stone, and sat down on it! The guards passed out in terrified unconsciousness because they had seen past the angel and the rolled-away stone into the tomb! And the tomb was empty! JESUS OF NAZARETH HAD RISEN FROM THE DEAD! HE’S ALIVE!

Open Your Heart

This...

God Bless.


Open Your Heart to God

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me.
- Psalm 139:23-24, NKJV

Have you erected a shield around your heart? A shield . . . of pride or doubt

or shame

or anger?

Did you think that if you opened your heart and let God see inside, that He would blame you for what you have or haven’t done? Or rebuke you for your lack of faith?

You and I can be so foolish! Why do we think we can hide our feelings from God? Why would we want to hide our feelings from God? Would you open up your heart and show it to Him? Let Him see exactly how you feel and what you think. Don’t hide it or repress it or cover it up or pretend it’s not there. Just pour it all out to Him, and then wait expectantly for His response.

From Why?

You Don't Have To Pretend

Interesting little devotional. Wanted to share.

God Bless.

You Don't Have to Pretend 

We're foolish when we do something wrong and then try to sneak it past God, to stuff it in a closet and lock the door. The truth is, God even knows what's behind the locked door. Everything you think, everything you see, everything you do, everything you feel -- God knows all about it. He already knows all you've done wrong and He still loves you! You're not fooling God when you keep your sins hidden. He's not shocked by your sin and not surprised when you admit it to Him. Confessing you sin will never change the way He feels about you! He loves you unconditionally, and that means you don't have to fake it; you don't have to pretend.
