  • Matthew 10:34-36-NIV

    "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  For I have come to turn" 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.'

    There are so many examples we can use in our world to demonstrate Jesus’ point in the passage above.  Each of us can probably think of situations where members of our families and

  • Matthew 2:10-11-NLT

    When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

    I love this time of the year! Not because I get to celebrate the birth of Jesus but because I get to share Jesus with the world.  As a Christian, the celebration of Jesus’ birth and resurrection (Easter) should be celebrated every day.  In case you are not aware, there is no certainty that December 25th is the accurate

  • Job 1: 20-21-CJB

     Iyov got up, tore his coat, shaved his head, fell down on the ground and worshipped; he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return there. Adonai gave; Adonai took; blessed be the name of Adonai.”

    This verse is found in Job chapter one after God allowed Satan to strike everything that was meaningful to Job.  The Holiday is approaching.  For some, it will evoke feelings of joy, excitement, happiness, and memorable times.  And for others, the holiday will provoke feelings of pain, sadness,

  • Psalm 34:8-CJS

    Taste and see that ADONAI is good; How blessed are those who take refuge in him!

    Tasting can be a life changing experience. Some tastes can lead you to a positive or negative life experience. What have you tasted in your life? How has it been going for you? The psalmist is inviting you to taste God as your choice of food or drinks.  Oftentimes, you hear people say I became addicted after I tried……. once, you fill in the blank. Have you found that your choice of taste has become bitter in your life? The Psalmist is inviting you to try God’s goodness and he confidently promises tasting

  • Hebrews 1:3 NIV

    The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

    Do you want to know the intimate part of God? Spend time with Jesus who is God's Word in the flesh (John 1:1-14).  Is your life falling apart where nothing seems to be working out?

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV

    Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

    Do you believe God’s will for us is to put into practice each element listed in this passage? Do you speak to God through all your life circumstances? Or, do you only pray during the drought period in your life? Rejoice always and give thanks in all circumstances takes being purposeful and intentional through faith in God. It takes complete surrender and believing his promises are true  As I am writing this reflection, I have been struggling with sudden dizziness.

  • Psalm 119:11 NIV

    I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

    When you woke up this morning, was God's word the first in your mind?  We live in a busy and stressful society where our heart and mind are always being tugged in different directions. Hiding God's Word in our heart takes being persistent and intentional. Jesus exemplifies the importance of hiding God's word in our heart so that we can stand strong against the devil’s schemes throughout our testing times in this world (Mark 1:35, Mathew 4:1-11).If we do not hide the Word of God in our heart, we

  • Ephesians 6:12 NIV

    For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

    What struggle are you fighting through today? Whatever it might be, the fight you are taking on is much bigger than you. Your mistakes, conflicts with others, addictions, sickness, being a victim of abuse, etc., are bigger than what your eyes see. As you witness the chaos that is happening around you or in your personal life, know that the spirit of this dark world is the enemy. There

  • Psalm 34:12-13-NLT

    Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous?  Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies!

    I recently read a statement that I can’t recall the exact wording, but it says something like: Lying has become the norm of society, therefore telling the truth has become an extraordinary thing to do.  As you read these scriptures, do you find your mind spinning like mine did?  It appears to me the opposite of what the scripture says is happening all around me. It seems that those who lie

  • Acts 4:19-NIV

    But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges!

    Read this scripture slowly, stop and ponder on Peter's question to the religious leaders who were attempting to intimidate him. Who or what is influencing your daily decisions? There are so many opinions and influencers around us. Who is the captain of your life journey? Jesus calls us to love him above everything in our lives, otherwise, we cannot be his disciples (Luke 14:25-27). Whose voices have you been listening to?  Who is guiding or driving your daily
