Settling for Scallops

April 4, 2020

“’I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more,
but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and 
you in me, and I in you. Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he
who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.’ Judas (not Iscariot)
said to him, ‘Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?’ Jesus answered
him, ‘If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him
and make our home with him.'” John 14:18-23

Under His Umbrella

April 3, 2020

“Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might
of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.” Psalm 20:6-8

Christians in Cadence

April 2, 2020

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put
on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of
faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in
the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.” Ephesians 6:13-18

Coming Into Full Flower

April 1, 2020

From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:16-17

Loving Leah

March 31, 2020

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine. My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.” Proverbs 3:5-12
