Mark 6:47 The most significant part of today’s scripture that stuck out for me was (vs 52) “for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 As I was officiating a wedding this past weekend, the couple wanted me to quote today’s scripture, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; probably one of the most recited verses repeated at wedding ceremonies.

Psalm 34:6 Tonight, I am so tired and weary, feeling helpless and afraid of the coming days/ weeks. Who do I call out to? who do I run to? Where do I find my rest? I head to my comforting, safe and dark room, thinking I can’t feel hurt there but I do. My world […]

However, after years of fellow-shipping and being mentored by Christian brothers and sisters in Christ, a view of true family came full circle. Jesus tells His disciples in Mark 3:31-35, “Then […]
James 1:19, Proverbs 18:13; 19:11 In today’s scripture, we are reminded that as Christians we are called to be a patient and forgiving people.

Ephesians 4:22-24 Many times when God isn’t changing your circumstances, it’s because He is mostly concerned with changing you from within. Many times we look at our outward circumstances and not what is going on within us. We are concerned about losing a job, not making enough money, not getting this and that in which […]
Romans 8: 26-28 Gods plan is always the best; sometimes the process is painful and hard, but don’t forget that when God is silent He’s doing something for you! I don’t know who quoted this but it is so true. Going through some tough things right now and I lost sight of where God is […]
