Can I Get an Amen?

A friend posted this quote on Facebook that she found in her BSF Bible study on Acts. Boy did I need to read it. “Let us not pray for easier lives but for greater power to bring blessing out of every pressure and trial.” Add to that this verse in Isaiah (40:31)…. He will tend [...]

To rejoice is to treasure a thing, to assess its value [...]

We are starting the year in the book of Daniel and that’s where this month’s verse came from– Daniel 2:20-22. It jumped out at me especially [...]

His Word in My Heart: August 2010

by gidget faith

I do realize that August is over half gone, but nonetheless I do have a verse to share… Last week, I accidentally took a week off from blogging. For me, writing is like exercising– the more days I skip (assuming I exercised every day {wink, wink}), the harder it is to go back. I planned [...]
