I chuckled a bit when I felt the nudge to blog on Isaiah 31 because it, like my last post, is on not trusting in man. I was like, “Yes Lord, I see the theme!” Here is Isaiah 31:1, 3a Continue reading Woe: Trusting in Man (Isaiah 31:1, 3)
God’s had me reading John 15:1-17 pretty much everyday for a couple months now. It’s interesting to see how He’ll highlight different words and passages each day. Today He highlighted verse 14: You are my friends if you do what Continue reading Friend of God (John 15:14)

God loves to use my dog, Sketch, as an object lesson to show me how things we do effect Him. Today is one such example. While I was in the middle of something, Sketch informed me he wanted to go Continue reading Whining and Complaining (Phil 2:14)
Here’s the scene, Jonah (a prophet) was called by God to go to Nineveh and prophesy that in 40 days Nineveh would be overthrown. Jonah doesn’t want to go because he thinks God will relent and not do it to Continue reading Are you right? (Jonah 4:4)
