Perfect Faithfulness

Perfect faithfulness... As he has been, so he is, and so he will be. As his promises have been fulfilled, so they are being fulfilled, and will be fulfilled for eternity. As his plans have come to pass, so they are coming to pass, and will be completed.

What would have been

Psalm 139:16 tells me that God has a great plan and it will come to pass. A book of what has been, what is, and what will be. This verse brings hope and comfort to me for the days that are and will come. It also gives me hope for the day that would have… Continue reading What would have been

Saturday Song: He Giveth More Grace

"How was your week?" "It was very good. Long. I'm quite tired." There is always a hidden story behind polite conversation. And Instagram. I'm guilty of that this week. How was my Friday? Let me show you! #teacherlife #ihavethebeststudents #ajoyfulclassroomisasafeclassroom And it's true. I love my student kiddos. And they love their teacher.

Immanuel, God with us

He Ordained Peace

    O LORD, you will ordain peace for us; you have done for us all our works. Isaiah 26:12 Peace. I doubt whether there is anything so sought after or valued in this world. Peacemakers are commended, both in Scripture and by society. Why, then, is there not peace? War and conflict spread overwhelmingly… Continue reading He Ordained Peace

The Desire for What is New

The desire for newness seems entrenched in the human soul. Not mere newness for the sake of being new, but newness in the sense of a better, pure, hopeful rebirth. Looking forward to the new year, we set goals for how the next year will be better, how we will have new adventures, how we… Continue reading The Desire for What is New

Waiting…

One of the themes that has resurfaced during our study in the first part of Isaiah is that of waiting.  In chapter 8, Isaiah writes, "I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him."  People who read this (even today) would be… Continue reading Waiting…

Focus on thy Redeemer

I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 41:14 Spurgeon's sermons are some of my favorite things to read (I read them mostly from this site: The Spurgeon Archive).  This morning, I read his sermon "Thy Redeemer" based on Isaiah 41:14.  Later, as I was doing laundry,… Continue reading Focus on thy Redeemer

Firm in Faith

I love when readings from two different sources on two different days speak in unison.  Last night during Bible study, we read Isaiah 7:9.  Today, the morning devotional (though on a different verse) from Spurgeon's Morning & Evening series continued the discussion we had last night. If you are not firm in faith, you will… Continue reading Firm in Faith
