Do We Understand His Precepts?
In Psalm 119:120 David wrote: I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Your precepts. That is a bold statement, but do we know what he was talking about?

How Can I Know God?
I can't seem to get past Psalm 46:10. Holy Spirit keeps unpacking it for me. We've talked about being still, but I never realized that being still is connected with knowing God.

Monday Manna – You tell Me your dreams and I’ll tell you Mine
Our agenda, rarely, if ever, mirrors what God has on His. Since I’ve run ahead of Him so many times or lagged behind, in March 2015, I asked the Lord for His vision. His answer still stands true today. Listen as you read and see if He is saying the same to you. Stay near … Continue reading Monday Manna – You tell Me your dreams and I’ll tell you Mine
Monday Manna–We Are in the Middle of a Holy Chess Game
I was in prayer one morning in September 2016, when Holy Spirit started speaking to me about a chess game. I believe we are in the middle of it now. That there’s never been a time like this before.

Monday Manna – Attitude Adjustment Needed
It was May 2008. Our home had been on the market for some time but there was little sign of it selling.
