Good morning... "God in stereo!" she emailed me after yesterday's post, What's The True Purpose Of Prayer?" She shared with me a devotional message she had just read, a message amplifying the process of metamorphosis, God's Spirit gradually transforming ordinary people, like you and like me, into the very image of Christ. ****** "Truth For Life Daily: Alistair [...]
Good morning... I love meeting short poems who, very simply, speak God's truth. ****** Sympathetic Resonance by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer All day, I feel the throbbing of other lives, other pain, as if I’m a string on the piano that goes unplayed, and yet vibrates when the hammer strikes other strings, and then— your ache, my ache, two [...]
Good morning... "Hi Sue," she wrote yesterday, "I received this devotional sometime early in the pandemic and have saved it. It reminds me of your post this morning, Trusting Without Seeing." ****** Excerpt from The Moon Is Round by Sylvia Gunter In times of crisis trust is a powerful weapon.

Good morning... The prophet Isaiah does not stop at just two questions in Chapter 40 of his book in the Bible, like we identified in yesterday's post. Isaiah actually fills the page with a plethora of question marks. Let's revisit this ancient wisdom, as we deepen into God's definitive answer to the hard questions in life. Who measured [...]

My mind now [...]

Perception. Will. Reason. One reader wrote: "The human brain and our DNA as God made it is more powerful than any machine. A machine only knows [...]
Good morning... "Sue," wrote a friend from our Monday afternoon study group, which is quietly off for the summer months. "Such a wonderful message from Kate Bowler this week! Hope your summer is going well and the much anticipated wedding arriving so soon! Happy days to you!" I touch on the link she shared and breathe in the [...]
Good morning... "Sue," she wrote. "Here is something for you that I learned and wrote down but do not remember where I heard it. We have 5 senses. Intuition Imagination Perception Will Reason All operate with the Holy Spirit within us. Life expands when these are exercised." My soul is tickled. I am drawn back to one word, [...]
Good morning... “I will lead the blind by a way they do not know; I will guide them in paths that they do not know," God said through Isaiah 42:16 (AMP) to end yesterday's blog post. "I will make darkness into light before them and rugged places into plains. These things I will do [for them], and I [...]
Good morning... In response to yesterday's post, Be Filled Up, she simply texted, "I wish I could stay filled up." "New mercies come every morning," I replied.
