Ezekiel 9:4 (NIV®) “…Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.” When is the last time you were grieved over something? Usually we think of grieving as the emotion we feel when we have […]
Isaiah 53:3a (NKJV) “He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” It is everywhere. Those who look one way make fun of those who look another way. Those who have money look down on those who don’t – or vice versa. Those who are intelligent dismiss those who
Genesis 2:15 (NKJV) “Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” If our goal is to live our lives as God wants us to, how do we find out what that is? I think we should start at the beginning. That takes us

Isaiah 55:8 (NIV®) “‘For my thought are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the LORD.” I was in another town the other day and noticed a sign. It looked like a picture of an alien. It was ugly and I even said out loud “why would anyone use that logo for
Psalm 19:13a (NKJV) “Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me,” It’s no big deal. It doesn’t really matter. This won’t impact me or anyone else.

Ezekiel 46:13 (NKJV) “You shall daily make a burnt offering to the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish; you shall prepare it every morning.” It has been several weeks since I posted anything. I have had many changes taking place in my life. I would say some for the good and
