    Isaiah 12:2 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” Hebrews 9:15 14 How much more then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from…

    Scripture: I had such a hard time selecting just one verse from the passages I read this morning. Really, you need to read all of Hebrews 8 to get the full understanding, but here’s a snippet: Hebrews 8:6-8 6But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he…

    From my journal this morning… I’m having such a hard time picking one scripture for today. What do you want me to take away from this morning’s reading? Am I having trouble because I’m thinking of what others might think? I need to focus just on you and on me. What is it? Scripture: Hebrews…

    Scripture: Hosea 13:6 “When I fed them, they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me.” Observation: How often do I do that? I cry out to Jesus.

    A part of my reading today took me through Psalm 73, which compares the earthly success of the wicked in comparison to the eternal rewards of the righteous.  Yikes, just typing wicked vs. righteous sounds pretty big to me. I don’t see myself falling completely into either of those camps, yet that’s how we are…

    Today in my reading I came across this: Hebrews 2: 14-15 “14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death- that is, the devil- 15 and free those who all their lives were held in…

    http://www.biblein90days.org/ 72% ofAmericans who have never read the entire Bible would like to do so in their lifetime, according to the Barna Group. I took the challenge, read the Bible in 90 days, and it changed my life. No, this isn’t a mom-specific resource. But it belongs here because the Bible is THE essential how-to book.  And…
