I have been reading about the Israelites coming into the Promised Land in Joshua lately. One thing that has been on my mind is that Caleb isn’t mentioned much. He and Joshua were the only 2 of the 12 spies who believed God. Joshua obviously become the leader, but we aren’t given much information about [ READ MORE ]
The victory comes through death. Life through abiding in Christ. His way is hard. Who can accept it? To break through, I must let go completely. Lay down self and pick up Love.

This is what I wrote in my journal on Thursday after reading Joshua 10: It is time to ATTACK evil! God will fight for us. Every enemy will be totally destroyed. There will be no survivors! We are more than conquerors in Christ!! (Romans 8:37) We were made not just to survive but to thrive and conquer – to [ READ MORE ]
“God is love.” 1 John 4:8 “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” Psalm 127:1 “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.” Proverbs 14:1 Unless our house is built with and by Love, it is nothing.

1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; 2 in you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. 3No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are [ READ MORE ]
“15 But what can I say? He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this. I will walk humbly all my years because of this anguish of my soul. 16 Lord, by such things people live; and my spirit finds life in them too. You restored me to health and let me live. [ READ MORE ]
I have been thinking all day how important the prayer, “Lord, have mercy” is. God is the only one with power over life and death (Luke 12:5). He is the only one who can save us. And, the wonderful news is that He delights in saving us! That is His desire! He is gracious, loving and merciful to all [ READ MORE ]
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray [ READ MORE ]
