    Today I read Hebrews 11 and, wow, I’m really enjoying Hebrews. It covers a lot of fantastic points about being a believer.  If you haven’t read it, I recommend you give it a go. Read the whole thing or, if you want to follow along with me, there are only two chapters left after today.…

    This morning some of my reading covered Hebrews 10. I’ve really enjoyed all the Hebrews readings, but they have presented me quite a challenge in trying to stick with my journaling format. So I’m breaking out today. Hebrews 10:17 Then he adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” (The part in…

    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…

    Scripture: Micah 6:8 “He has showed you, O Man what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Observation: He doesn’t really require much of me. Just that I am kind, merciful, and fair, and stay in communion with…

    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. I get back on track with my devotional time. Then things go well, something pushes aside my devotional or study time and I let it slide…

    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…

    Good morning, friends. (I’m not sure exactly when this will really be posted, but it is morning time as I am writing it.) Thanks for joining me in this journey through faith. I hope that this blog becomes much more than just a chronicle of my thoughts and experiences and instead is a forum of…

    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…
