Got Giants? – 1 Samuel 17

Goliath never stood a chance. I mean, what 9 foot tall, heavily armored, highly skilled warrior stands a chance against a teen-ager in a robe with a sling-shot and the power of God almighty? David is relentless in his faith. Despite the fact that his father has no confidence in him and keeps him hom...

Samuel Anoints David – 1 Samuel 16

Finally we get to the good stuff! Reading about the disobedient Israelites and arrogant Saul brings me down! Enter David, son of Jesse… Samuel is mourning Saul, but God tells him to get some oil and go anoint the next king. Samuel hesitates because the current king still lives! He would be ris...

“We Demand a King!” – 1 Samuel 8

Possibly one of the saddest of all chapters. Up to this point, God was the King of the nation of Israel. God’s plan was to assign prophets to be the liaison between He and them. And that was working well through Samuel. Unfortunately, Samuel’s sons were selfish, greedy little perverts. T...

Serving God by Assisting Eli – 1 Samuel 3

Okay a few cool things I noticed today in 1 Samuel chapter 3. First was how Samuel served the Lord by assisting Eli. Verse 3 says: “Meanwhile, the boy Samuel served the Lord by assisting Eli.” Later in this chapter, we find out that Samuel didn’t even know the Lord yet (see verse 7...

It’s not about me! (again) – 2 Corinthians 5

I have been thinking a lot lately about how I ended up where I’m at. I am so happy to be doing what I know God has wired me up to do. I still have struggles, but they’re much different than before. I think it all has to do with the fact that I’ve finally [...]

Changed Lives Are Our Credentials – 2 Corinthians 3

As I read this morning’s chapter, I was drawn to these verses: Are we beginning to praise ourselves again? Are we like others, who need to bring you letters of recommendation, or who ask you to write such letters on their behalf? Surely not!  The only letter of recommendation we need is you yo...

God Never Said He Will Not Give You More Than You Can Handle! – 2 Cor 1

I’m finally getting back into my daily reading routine! Ack, how easy it is for me to neglect the daily reading of God’s word. Here’s what jumped out at me today: 8 We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We ...

Treated Like the World’s Garbage – 1 Corinthians 4

Wow again. Paul is really bothered by these Corinthians. Their pride and arrogance really gets under his last nerve. But he’s to remain calm and kind. As a matter of fact, he pretty much lays out what it’s like to be a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ: 11 Even now we go hungry and thir...

Milking the Rewards – 1 Corinthians 3

What a smack. In 1 Corinthians chapter 3, Paul basically told this church they need to grow up. The people of the church there were arguing about who to follow, Paul or Apollos. Truth is they both of them follow Jesus. Paul was admonishing them to quit quarreling and just follow Jesus. It doesn̵...

Freedom from the Powers of this World – Colossians 2

You can hear Paul’s concern and love for this church at Colossae. It’s really not rocket science. I love how Paul puts it simply: And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on [....
