Clouds

Posted: July 29, 2008 in Oswald Chambers

“The clouds are the dust of His feet” ( Nahum 1:3  ). God reveals Himself to us in the clouds.  The next time I look up to see the clouds I will look at them a little differently. My Utmost for His Highest, July 29: It is not true to say that God wants to teach us [...]

Finding my voice

Posted: July 26, 2008 in Uncategorized

Last Sunday I (along with several others) was given an opportunity to speak of God’s love and how his love has filled our lives. The last time I had the opportunity to speak was a couple of years ago when I was explaining to the youth why I would no longer would be their youth [...]

God, you are amazing!. I am so thrilled that You love me. I know sometimes I get so caught up in my desire to “do” but today – I just want to “be.” I like the wording of Oswald Chambers today, “The only thing that exceeds right-doing is right-being.” If I could I would be [...]

Time to shine

Posted: July 22, 2008 in Discipleship, Future, Obedience

I have always valued the opinion of others tremendously. I understand there is a lot of value in the counsel of others when it comes to making decisions. Over the years, I have probably put too much stock in what others have had to say. To the point of not doing anything – out of [...]

Greater love…

I’m overjoyed… I’m over taken with His love tonight.  This love God has for me… for you… for them.  The love he has to give leads us to respond, “Here am I. Send me!”  To respond to His love any other way would be to deny Him.  I am thankful God has seen fit to love me [...]

After reading Oswald Chambers on Sunday, Isaiah 6:1 has stayed on my mind.  Here it is almost 1 AM and sleep is difficult to find.  So, I decided to read the rest of the chapter.  I recall listening to Keith Green while laying on my living room floor during my last semester in college.  The song, “Here [...]

I asked the question a few weeks ago, “If you could be doing anything you wanted to do (right now) what would it be?”  I’m surprised the stirring this question has raised.  I asked this of several people and I still get responses from it.  This little question is packed with a lifetime of challenge. [...]

How does God feel?

Posted: July 11, 2008 in Music, Parenting, Random Thoughts

Parenting has got to be one of the hardest jobs on the planet.  Parenting has got to be one of the most joyful experiences on the planet.  At times it is a fine line between being the hardest and the most joyful experience.  It’s a job I’ve never regretted for one second.  I love my [...]

I’m having surgery on my heart… not physically but rather spiritually. How does one know if one is living in the sin of “unbelief”?  “He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief” ( Matthew 13:58 ). If Jesus could not do miracles in the presence of those with unbelief… Is this why we do not [...]
