Daily Word: Romans 6:23
This is one of those verses we memorized in school. It scared me as a kid. With my reading and comprehension issues, what I heard in my head was, “Girl, you’re gonna die because you definitely sin.”
Daily Word: James (Jacob) 3:13
“Good conduct.” Does showing our deeds in the gentleness of wisdom looks different than “ordinary” deeds? On the surface, probably not. But wisdom deepens everything we do from a kind word to a kind deed. Why?
Daily Word: Philippians 2:13
Sometimes we just don’t want to do the right thing, do we?
Daily Word: Isaiah 26:3
This is a song. A song of triumph. Isaiah is prophesying of a coming day when the Jewish people will sing — and learn — from this song. At long last, the oppressed will be lifted up by El Elyon [GOD Most High].
Daily Word: Matthew 6:33
What was Jesus speaking of when He instructed the crowds — and us — to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness?
Daily Word: Psalm 34:9
More of the beauty and wonder that is faith and trust. More than “I believe.” It is “taste and see” and taking refuge in our Heavenly Father.
Daily Word: Psalm 34:19
When we’re grieving or brokenhearted, we can feel alone. Only we can know and understand the loss, right? Perhaps to those around us who try to comfort us, that may be true. But to our Heavenly Father? It is not true.
Daily Word: Romans 12:12
I’m sorry, but I can’t help being a broken record — context is important.
