Search My Heart
“Search me Lord and know my heart, try me and know my ways and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24). All through Scripture we are encouraged by the Lord to examine our heart. In Psalms 139, David prays and asks the Lord to Search his heart. David said, “any wicked way,” this would be any wicked way of thinking, feeling or acting. The thoughts of our heart are sometimes hidden from view, but can be clearly seen by our actions and our responses. Psalm 23:7 says, “As a […]
Drink From the Fountain That Will Never Run Dry
“Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land….” Psalm 63:1 There is a deep well within us that must be filled up daily. When this well has not been filled, you will find yourself dry and thirsty. Jesus said, “If any man thirst let him come to me and drink.” (John 7:37) Jesus is the fountain where we go to drink; He is a fountain that will never run dry. When we spend time with Him praying and reading His Word, we are drinking from the […]
Dwelling in His Presence
“Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.” Psalms 140:1 Dwelling in the presence of the Lord is the lifestyle of a Christian and prayer is the only way to maintaining this lifestyle.

You may ask “How can I carry out the everyday tasks of my job, my kids, my home and still pray without ceasing?” The prayer uttered out of […]
I Am Safe Under the Shadow of His Wings
Keep me as the apple of thy eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, Psalm 17:8 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his trust shall be thy shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4 We all can benefit greatly from experiencing the hidden side of life. There are times in our lives when He takes us up and hides us. He takes us up at a time when He knows we are tired and weary. If you are a person who is committed to serving others, either your family or others in […]
Time to Choose the Right Path
“That we may do those good works which God predestined for us…” Eph 2: 10 Predestined means something is preordained and appointed by God. He has preordained and planned before hand what your purpose is on the earth. And He has used the situations in your life up to this very moment to teach you and prepare you for His purposes. We can’t see clearly what God sees. It is only after we pass through a situation that we see it clearly, can look down from a higher perspective and see what good came out of it, what we learned […]
