Nourishing Tidbits from His Table
Mom Morsels
What are Mom Morsels? In Matthew 15: 22-28 New American Standard Bible a Canaanite (Gentile) woman came to Jesus seeking healing for her “grievously vexed” daughter. Jesus’ FIRST response was to ignore her. Jesus’ SECOND response was to give her another reason that he would not help her. He told…
My Times are in His Hand
He’s Got You If there is one thing I have learned in my almost 50 years of walking with Jesus, it is that His timing is most certainly not my timing. For one thing, our perspectives are entirely different. I view time in light of my stay on earth, whereas…
Our Daily Bread
How Essential is Our Daily Bread? In the gospel of Mark, as Jesus journeyed along with his disciples, they had an ongoing problem with bread. In Mark 6:35-44, they had a predicament. It was getting “quite late” (v35), and the disciples were worried that if the people following Jesus didn’t…
Sound Judgement
Having a Balanced God-Image of Ourselves On the road to having a secure God-image of ourselves (notice I did not say self-image), it seems there is a pit to fall into on each side. On the one side we may think less of ourselves than we ought to, but on the other side, we may…
Take Courage, Arise
He is Calling for You! I love all the details God gives us in His Word. They are not there by chance, so I love to study all the particulars in Jesus’ stories that were recorded for us. Let’s look at Mark 10: 46-52 New American Standard Bible: Then they came…
He Loves the Sound of Your Voice
He Listens for Your Voice I’ve been married 35years, and my heart still skips a beat when I hear my husband’s voice as he comes home from work. I love the sound of his voice! It’s the sound of my beloved coming closer to me, his presence nearing me. I…
Immanuel-God with Us
His Presence-Our Greatest Gift Immanuel means God with Us. This name for Jesus, encompasses God’s will for us from the beginning of time-He wants to be with us. Matthew 1:23 New American Standard Bible says: Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Behold,…
Counting on His New Mercies
Daily Mercies ! When I read the Bible, I sometimes read it like any other book I would read. I realized recently that this is not the best way to read the Bible. The Pharisees read the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) this way, and it didn’t…
A Determined Destiny
He Maintains Your Lot Are you worrying and wearing your self out trying to determine what your calling is? Trying to make your destiny come to pass? Thinking if you don’t find out what your destiny is and make it happen, then you might miss it? Psalm 16: 6 New…
Our Merciful Vineyard-Keeper
What Grace He Shows Us! I’m not sure anyone really likes discipline, whether doling it out or receiving it. It isn’t fun to discipline our children, but I know it must be done. And when I am receiving discipline from the Lord, it always seems hard. Yet, in Hebrews 12:5-8…

Sifting
Sifting is good! A good shepherd will guide a wayward sheep with his rod and staff. The rod and staff are not padded! When we are wandering or going the wrong way, and God is redirecting us or disciplining us, we are going to feel a little pain from the…
He Loves the Sound of Your Voice
He Listens for Your Voice I’ve been married 35years, and my heart still skips a beat when I hear my husband’s voice as he comes home from work. I love the sound of his voice! It’s the sound of my beloved coming closer to me, his presence nearing me. I…
He Remembers
He Records Your Alms and Your Prayers Moms, do you ever feel as if you are working so hard, doing so many things for your family, and no-one notices? Now, I am not encouraging you to have a pity party, but I want you to know that we have all…
A Sure Foundation
Matthew 7:24-27 Do all Christians have difficulties? Do they have to deal with sicknesses? With job losses? With calamities? With financial losses? Or is it only people with weak faith that have to deal with those things? Let’s see what the Bible says about difficulties or storms. Matthew 7: 24-27…
He is Our Portion
If only I could get my house organized, my life would be better. If only my kids would listen to me and behave more perfectly, then my life would be better. If only my husband or I could get that promotion and we had more money, then my life would…
He Intended to Pass By
So I’m reading through the Bible and am currently in the book of Mark. I’m also still going through a very difficult trial with some stormy seas. In the middle of this storm, I read: And immediately Jesus had His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other…
He Has Set a Table for You
How do you react to hard times and bad circumstances? Usually our human nature is to either blame God and turn away from Him or seek His comfort and turn to Him. Do you know that He wants to comfort you IN THE MIDST of your difficulties. The Lord is…
