Exodus 32:17 – And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is a noise of war in the camp.” Joshua is not the main focus of this section of scripture, Aaron and Moses are. This brief but important note about Joshua pointing out the noise in the camp is a reminder of how even in the midst of such sin and chaos there is likely to be a single person that carries on the work of the Lord and is faithful. Joshua was this person, a faithful servant, always there seemingly right at Moses’s side dayRead More →

16Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel. 17Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that his rider falls backward. 18I wait for your salvation, O Lord.   Investigating the name “Dan” first   Leah married Jacob first and gave him sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah Rachel was barren and gave Jacob her servant Bilhah to conceive for her. The name of Bilhah’s first son was “Dan”. Dan was the 5th son to Jacob. When he was born Rachel said “God has judged me, and has also heard myRead More →

1 Corinthians 10 Much of what we go through in our lives others have gone through in times past. There is nothing new under the sun and chances are the longer you live and interact with those around you the more you will find we all have in common and have been through similar experiences. Many people have gone through very difficult times in their lives for many various reasons, and for those that suffer with this hurt it can be a very difficult thing to overcome. We we see others going through a difficult time it should move us to act and help, thisRead More →

Isaiah 62, 63, 64 When God did awesome things we didn’t perceive it. We didn’t look or acknowledge Him and His works. But that is why He came down, in the power of His Spirit, in the Person of His Son. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him. (Isaiah 64:4) Lord help us to wait for You as we are living here on this earth awaiting Your final salvation. It is a hard thing to wait for GodRead More →

Luke 20:17-18 ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone’ Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” When we come to the Lord in our life, especially in those very difficult times, we often are searching for comfort or peace. But that is not what the Lord always gives us. Sometimes He brings us to a place where we need to recognize that He is the Chief Cornerstone, and that we are just the chief of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). I am a fleshly human being, and I have manyRead More →

Exodus 33:11 says “So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend…”, and this is my desire and prayer for this new year of 2021. I desire to speak with the Lord face to face, and to grow in my intimacy with Him each and every day. The Lord has done so many great things in this past year despite the trials and tribulations that were in 2020. He has shown me His faithfulness, and He has guided me in faithfulness step by step. My children and wife have shown me so many important lessons and it isRead More →

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NKJV) 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, Everyday we walk in the flesh, from the moment we wake up and place our feet on the ground, (sometimes even before), we are walking the in the flesh. Our minds, our hearts, our bodies, and somewhat shockingly as this mayRead More →

It has been my thoughts of late that God is in charge of everything that happens and if we desire to do His will, there is one sacrifice that God desires above all else – praise. If we desire to be called “faithful” God calls us into a covenant with Himself, a covenant that includes the giving of sacrifices. But what are those sacrifices? He gives us some insight into the sacrifices He desires in this psalm when he says in verse 8 “I have not complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer. But I do not need the bulls fromRead More →

My dear friend and his wife recently got C19 and I had an opportunity to pray for them. The Lord has pressed upon my heart that I Need to not only pray for things specifically but to also believe that God will answer my prayers. The Lord brought me to a passage in scripture right before the news came to me about my friends. Acts chapter 2 is a message by Peter to those who would soon become believers and start the vital church in Jerusalem. And I thought the Lord was bringing me to this for another reason but like many things in ourRead More →

The evening of September 5, 2020 it is raining ash from a fire near Rocky Mountain National Park. This is my first memory of an ash rain since the Haymen Fire of 2003. The devo from tonight was centered around the differences between law and grace. Galatians 5:18 says “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” ‭‭ It reminds me of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah when it rained fire and brimstone down and destroyed the city. Unfortunately for everyone in that city minus Lot, His two daughters, and his wife all were destroyed. But they weren’tRead More →
