A Tour of Israel

“It is well within my soul” This well known hymn was penned by a gifted Aussie named Horatio Spafford. Our Shoresh Tour guide David masterfully sprinkled us with tidbits of info that only a local would know. As we drove to our hotel from the Ben Gurion Airport we were told; “Horatio is also credited…

His Appearing

The sudden appearing, the calling, and the personally revealing is what our compassionate Lord Jesus still does. He avails Himself to the weeping, the confused, the hurting, one miraculous encounter at a time. His scarred hand reaches to touch us through a kindness, through a word, and in a way that remains unforgettable. After His…

Refiner’s Fire

What truly delights our hearts? Is it to know that our Creator, our heavenly Father is pleased with our words and actions? By asking the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom and His perfect understanding, as we read the Bible outloud, the Holy Spirit refines our way of thinking and acting. He works in us…

Begin Expecting

Expect GOD to be faithful to His living Word. Speak truth to self to cancel all lies. “Jesus is alive in me as the Holy Spirit wakes me early between 3 am and 6 am with His peace, patience, kindness, goodness, comfort, compassion, and merciful grace. Gladly I begin each day with God to build…

Mirror Reflections

Unplugged from the news, the nasty noise of blame, I am well placed, with ears to hear what the Spirit is singing. The sweet symphony of a gentle breeze rustling through the trees beckons my consideration of Who blows this unseen wind? The world is quick to finger point at science, to cast a…

Culture Conflict

We ask God to tell us the Truth, to guide us, to give us wisdom and He responds with words that make us squirm to test our faith. Read Jeremiah 42 and 2 Peter 2 and perhaps get very uncomfortable with today’s sexually charged culture. The “Days of Lot” is a reference to the account…

Shift Atmosphere

If you are to weak to pray, read this or invite a friend to pray this prayer over you for healing, protection, guidance, and strength. Heavenly Father, Almighty God, creator of heaven and earth. I come before Your throne with a heart full of gratitude and faith. I enter Your courts with genuine thanksgiving and…

Whispers

God often speaks through the subtle inner movements of our minds, disguising divine guidance within the ordinary rhythms of our thoughts. Many believers go through seasons where God seems silent, yet in reality, He is speaking beneath the noise, through impressions, nudges, clarity, and sudden understanding. Many overlook this sacred pathway because they expect God’s…

Hope in Death

My husband didn’t pack his bags for another woman. He departed suddenly, like an untimely death. He told me he had suffocated in our silence. The raw truth was, he was drowning in the noise of the modern era—or perhaps the purpose of the fear instilled. We had the house with a massive kitchen island…

Hand Picked

Why Did God Choose You in Your Family? God’s Calling is understood by some parents and siblings. Being divinely chosen and set apart within one’s family for a specific spiritual purpose is a calling that is not about superiority but responsibility. A unique heavenly perspective is sustained by His grace. Our willingness to address difficult…
