God directed Moses and he followed. Moses did what the Lord told him to do. He put God first and walked by faith. He stood firm against Pharaoh. He didn’t compromise. It would’ve been so easy to negotiate, not hold fast to the direction of the Lord, and at least get some quick relief for…

God Still Loves Me
God still loves me. No matter what I do or don’t do, He still loves me. God so loved the world. He took the first step. He didn’t wait for me to come to Him. He came to me. While I was still a sinner. He came to me first. He came to me when…
Joy Is A Weapon
Joy is a weapon. The Lord has reminded me of this. Years ago, He spoke it and taught it to me. But He reminded me of it a few days ago by reminding my husband. And I needed the reminder. Joy is a weapon. This is so incredibly important to know and understand as believers.…
Is God Enough For Me?
God set Israel apart and cared for all their needs. They didn’t want for anything. And yet Israel wanted to be like the other nations. They wanted both God’s holiness and the ways of the world around them. They fought God. He promised everything to them, if they so chose (Deuteronomy 11:26-29). God provides all…
Chosen, Royal, Holy, God’s Very Own
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). A royal priesthood. It’s been on my mind since I mentioned it in a recent…

Thanks and Praise Continually
And he [David] appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, even to celebrate and to thank and to praise the Lord God of Israel (1 Chronicles 16:4). I would do well to remember that there were priests of my holy God continually thanking Him and praising Him. When there’s…
Unchanging and Changing
God never changes, but I do. Both of these are good things. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8). He’s the same forever. His promises are sure. He doesn’t say one thing today and another tomorrow (Numbers 23:19). He’s not growing and changing. He’s not learning and maturing. He’s not influenced by…
Flood of God
Of Noah it was said, this one shall give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the Lord has cursed (Genesis 5:29). Washing of the water. Baptism. Cleansing from sin. Repentance. These all give us rest. We rest from our works when we get cleansed…
Seeking Success
And the Lord was with Joseph so he became a successful man (Genesis 39:2). First, the Lord was with Joseph. Second, he became successful. Joseph did not seek success. Joseph lived his life obedient to his father and apparently obedient to God. He had dreams. He wondered at their meaning. Did he tell his brothers…
