Numbers 9:8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.” Does anyone else think it’s interesting that Moses told the men who had come to inquire about Passover to be still so he could hear from God? The word for stand still here also means…

Instantaneous Relief
Psalm 56:9 On the very day I call to you for help, my enemies will retreat. This I know: God is on my side. I’ve been listening to Skip Moen’s classes on Living the Biblical Worldview where he explains the way the Hebrew writers of the Bible thought and how it differs from the Greek…
God is Better
Psalm 25:15 My eyes are always looking to the LORD for help, for he alone can rescue me from the traps of my enemies. I find that when I get in trouble and need rescuing, I look to God, but I also look to people around me. When I’m hurting, I go to people to…
Hidden Faults
Psalm 19:12, 14 How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. This is my prayer. Sometimes I feel like there are so many…
The Miracle of the Carpenter
From Max Lucado’s Weekly Email: The Miracle of the Carpenter by Max Lucado Loretto Chapel took five years to complete. Modeled after the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, its delicate sanctuary contains an altar, a rose window, and a choir loft. The choir loft is the reason for wonder. Were you to stand in the newly built…
Wait For It… Wait For It…
Psalm 5:3 Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. I have found that the days when I spend time with my Abba in the morning, my day seems a little less tense (usually). I’ve also found that the hardest part about requesting something…
Irony, Pleading, and Praise
Psalm 118:22 The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone. This verse made me smile because I think this is how all of us at Hope Inspirational Schools feel. We’re the rejects of society trying to build something revolutionary. Psalm 118:25 Please, LORD, please save us. Please, LORD, please give us success….
The Lord's Prayer by Max Lucado
I receive a weekly email devotional by Max Lucado. This is the one I got this week. It was interesting because I led worship at a Presbyterian church where they say the Lord’s prayer. It made me think back to this devotional. And Max Lucado has such a great way of saying things! Enjoy while…
Head Coverings – Really?
1 Corinthians 11:6 Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair. And since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, then she should wear a covering. Really? Is it a custom or a law? Somehow I don’t think God…
Awesome Things
I wanted to post the sermon at my church (Discovery Church) that Jon Tyson “preached” yesterday. It was AWESOME! It was all about grace and how we’ve misinterpreted it, how the church has become known for its hate and intolerance instead of love, and how it’s not by faith that we’re saved but by…
