Zechariah 14:9

The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name ~ Zechariah 14:9


As a Christ follower, I long for the day when Jesus will be King over the whole earth in recognition. The world we live in now has many kings, many lords, many gods. We live in a pluralized society where not only are there many gods, but where the individual is also known as a god, for the decisions made come from within. Not so with a Christ follower, for all our decisions come from a higher power that speaks into our mind and heart and leads and guides us in righteous ways. Inner decisions without God are made with personal and selfish motives, they can’t help but be so, for we are all created with sin in our heart. Only with the salvation offered by Jesus Christ can our hearts be pure in motive. One day though, this world will recognize Jesus Christ as the only way, the only truth, the only Saviour. We pray now that others would see this before the day of reckoning, but we know that many turn aside on a daily, hourly, minute-by-minute basis. How devastating for those souls which cannot bend to recognize Jesus as King! They will not go into heaven when they die, they will instead be separated from Him forever and ever in the fires of hell. We must pray harder for the lost souls of this earth, for reconciliation between family members, for when there is reconciliation there, it will spread out into the community, and when it spreads there it will go beyond our community into our country. Pray for healed hearts, pray for peace, pray for reconciliation and pray that all may come to know Jesus Christ as King of their life…before it is too late for their soul!!

Proverbs 18:2

Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in sharing their own opinions ~ Proverbs 18:2 If we are going to understand something, we must fully digest it so that when we speak, we speak with wisdom. When we have only half truths in our mind, our words become empty and senseless. We then puff out air rather than understanding when we speak. A wise person will want to improve their mind through learning in various ways from the world around them. A person who delights in spiritual understanding will find peace and enjoyment in reading the Word of God on a daily basis, and in participating with God’s people in a learning and praising environment – the church! We come together in corporate worship with the understanding that not one of us knows all things, but we bend our mind and heart to learn what God has to show and say to us. A foolish person makes a show of what they “know” to please their friends or to save face in front of them. More often a wise person will hold t

Romans 8:26

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans ~ Romans 8:26 Many days, many times, I have the words for prayer. It comes forth and flows fairly naturally as I converse with my Lord God. I hope in the God I worship to hear me, and to receive my words, as I pray in the name of Jesus and believe in Him, my intercessor. He is my Living Saviour, my High Priest, standing at the right hand of God the Father. But there are times when my pain has been so deep that my words will not come. There are times when my agony is so piercing that what words I may speak would not be enough. And so, in my deep, black moments, I come before my God and let my darkest emotions erupt in sounds that only He can understand. The Holy Spirit within me cries out in my stead, and He becomes my second intercessor. It is not that He is not there with me in all my prayers, but there are times wh

Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert ~ Isaiah 43:19 When we meet a challenge, we are often found discouraged, lost, even hopeless. Nothing is working, everything seems to be against us. We do not know how to move forward, so we remain curled up in a ball. Then, a glimmer of light shines through! Hope is regained and movement is stirred within. Don’t we become excited when we begin to feel it? God moves like that. We cannot see our way around it, but He can and does. And He makes a way for us out of the calamity of our fears. It is the feeling of springtime after a long winter, or the smell of fresh cut grass. Life stirs within and we move and we see what God saw all the time – the answer to our dilemma. Our desert place becomes an oasis, and we can do what we are called to do. Something totally unexpected happens, something unheard of, but it begins in our life, and we feel the
