“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 ESV) It’s Monday! Motivating Monday! Three words keep surfacing to encourage you with today. Then I think about my exercise trainers. It’s Monday and I guarantee they have smiles on their faces, ready to engage with every person crossing their path. It’s exciting to be Monday! Let’s start this week discussing God’s warmth, presence, and love.  Warmth, Presence, Love While I was praying, these three words bubbled out from within. God, I want everyone to feel your warmth. By feeling His warmth, […]

Even the youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:30,31 NIV) Tired and Weary Oh, how I love God’s Word. With disturbing headlines this week- deception deepening, digging heels into more individuals, we can become easily tired and weary. Now that I am tilting toward older years, God acknowledges even youths become tired and weary. It’s where we place our hope, making all […]

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13: 34,35 NIV) Woot! It’s Monday! Motivating Monday! I have never been more motivated to shake individuals, attempting to awaken sense within. This does not sound too loving, however, it is with my greatest love that I want individuals aware scripture prophecies are being fulfilled. Deception is expanding with false teachers and false prophets leading many astray. Test Spirits Scripture states to test […]

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. (Isaiah 40:28,29 NIV)  Happy Endings… I love happy endings…movies and novels relishing sappy love stories. Though many of these stories are fictional, we can be part of the greatest love story of all. Who else is willing to take our sin and pay the ultimate sacrifice in hopes that we will […]

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. (Romans 13:11 NIV) Slanted Thinking Last week my middle child explained when he says, “It’s good,” this means not interested. A real play on words that will not be accepted in our home. If something is good- it’s good. We are not going to allow words with twisted meaning. Where is this slanted thinking coming from? My friend, everywhere we turn. Play on Words Where did I least expect […]

So if the Son sets you free,  you will be free indeed. (John 8:36 ESV) Memorial Day Motivating Monday! Memorial Day. Taking today and everyday to remember all sacrifices made for our freedom. Extreme importance why we cannot be slumbering and deceived. Fierce anger raging desiring false freedom. Having rights that go against Biblical truth is not freedom, it’s bondage in the end. Just the devil has blinded many to understand. Freedom Even as I write this, I’m thinking quite strong for Monday. However, men and women sacrificing their lives, is no light topic for Jesus. He knows exactly what […]

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31,32 ESV) Medicine Biblical Truth is like medicine for our soul. Medicine will not always taste great, actually quite bitter. So bitter many children spew out, having parents wrestle them to take. Our oldest had chronic asthma when he was small. Watching a child unable to breathe, seeing his chest rapidly pump up and down, medicine had to be taken. Breathe Looking around our society today, […]

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14 ESV) Experiences …cannot understand. Individuals build life experiences assuming their foundation is solid. If not built on Jesus Christ, foundation is nonexistent. Therefore, right vs. wrong will not be spiritually discerned. We end up with a nation assuming political correctness, when spiritually discerned, we understand judgement will come. Foolishness? Things of the Spirit of God is foolishness to the natural person. What I am about […]

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10 NIV) Deeper Truths As we condition our hearts, we begin to understand deeper spiritual truths. Today’s verse is the most profound verse to understand spiritual warfare. There is a thief- his name is satan. He is the father of lies, deepest of manipulation distorting truth enough to make one deceived. There is no one more brainwashed than individuals blowing themselves up to kill others. Interesting those orchestrating tragedies are not ones willing to blow […]

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7 ESV) Motivating Monday! Motivating Monday! Pump up the volume, pump the volume! Let’s get this party started. The week before Easter…much time will be spent on outward charm from dress to hiding baskets. How much energy will be spent conditioning our hearts? Stop- do not click off. Conditioning Conditioning is a good […]
