Donald J Trump

A Flashpoint Recap of the historical first weeks of our 47th President. Our Father hard wired humans with HOPE for the future. Where we place our hope sets us in a direction. Our hope includes great expectations that Trump can deliver. BUT GOD, His word teaches us the TRUTH. HOPE is a person, and His…

Beauty Bestowed

Beauty is in the eyes of the Creator and in the eyes of His enlightened beholder. Looking with the eyes of grace, we are reminded of how desperately we need our Father’s ongoing grace. Many consider a dandelion as a weed to be trashed. BUT our Father gave us a whimsical mind that we may…

They said…

Many voices declare many things, BUT GOD will have the final say. Rest is not found in figuring out what to say or do. “Resting in Him” is to trust the absolute sufficiency and authority of God. Our Father knows all, and He will give us apt words to speak. We rest in His knowledge,…

Growing Up

God deals with those He has given much grace. Our Father disciplines those He loves. God allows life changing incidents to humble us. We read the Bible for truth and put away childish fantasy. “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I REASONED like a child. When…

First Response

Before we were born, God marveled at His plan for us. It was His pleasure to make us all delightfully unique. Then He picks our parents and brushes us with a true color that just blends in beautifully with others. As the Artist of all that is, He paints us into backgrounds that cause us…

Clear View

When we voice words out of pain, it reveals that we need to confess our unforgiveness of others and ourselves. God’s view is very clear. Forgive others as you…

Releasing Spirit

It is a sweet delight to live in submission. With a joy filled soul — that is absolutely smitten with the positve idea of being made NEW — such a surplus is available to all. ❤️ We are blessed to know that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Consider the layout of…

Final Self Exam

Our Father knows we are prone to doubt Him and lean on our experiences rather than ask for His help. As sheep, we wander off the path and away from our Shepherd. When He calls, do I know His voice and turn? Am I listening? Do I desire to live a life, daily, that calls…

Who sits on the Throne?

This ominous question can only be answered by the individual believer. Fear not! “His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted…
