*Reference for Bible reading: John 4:46-53 Shortly after Jesus had arrived in Galilee, a nobleman from Capernaum journeyed nearly 40 miles in pursuit of Jesus’ help. We don’t know much about this man (other than he was a man of noble rank), but we do know the story is important enough to be recorded in our Bible history, which tells us there is some important biblical truths to learn from the story. Today, I’m focusing on just one simple truth. This nobleman’s mission was an urgent matter, something especially dear to his heart. He had a very sick son. With the upcoming Father’s Day this month, I think he might…

Our View Versus God’s View
Monday morning, as my hubby and I were traveling, the weather was grey, wet and drizzly. It wasn’t the picture-perfect-sunshiny kind of day. The gloom weighed upon us while driving, and yet, there was a sliver of peace resting in the atmosphere. I looked far ahead to view the horizon. There in the long distant, you could see the sun shining radiantly. There was a town or city, numerous miles ahead, that was enjoying a bright, gleeful day. This reminded me of life’s trials — our view versus God’s view. Although we may look at the gloomy present surrounding us, God clearly sees what’s ahead to give us an expected,…

Why is it Important to Tell the Truth?
Why is it Important to Tell the Truth? View TV shows, movies, videos, books and social media posts, and you will see an ungodly trend.

If we’re not careful, we can find ourselves laughing along with these plots and start feeling like it’s not that big of a deal. But in TRUTH…. There is nothing cute or clever about telling a lie — even if you get away with it at the moment. And by the…

God Can Handle it ALL!
At 3 am on Monday morning (well, more specifically, it was at 2:58 am ha! ha!) one of my favorite Bible verses was brought to my thoughts. “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5 kjv I began to ponder on the word “IN.” During this time of uncertainty with the quarantine, “what” we are trusting in is not nearly as important as “Who” we are trusting in. We CANNOT trust in our money, in our health, in our government, in our possessions, in our family, in our finances, in our talents, nor any other thing on the face of…

Be Content.
It was last Saturday that I had my first little meltdown about this whole corona virus quarantine situation… I wasn’t crying over materialist things that I didn’t have or couldn’t have, but rather, it was the fact that life has changed so drastically. I wanted to go see my parents. I wanted to be in church and Sunday school. I wanted to go see the sweet people from our nursing home ministry. Despite being an introvert, I WANTED to be around people! It was shortly after this meltdown when I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, that I saw a grim photo that instantly stilled my heart and made it…
