Dry and Weary

by Beth | Aug 23, 2021 | Bible Study, Encouragement, Worship

Dry and weary… Are you parched for encouragement?… Are you weary from the news? The illness? The loss of life? The division? Many of us are tired and discouraged - but most of us are not running for our lives like King David. Most of us are not holed...

Jesus Christ – The Same Always

by Beth | Jul 26, 2021 | Christianity, Encouragement, God, Jesus, Salvation

Fifty-two years ago I trusted in Christ for my salvation. We have so many terms for a person like me - a born-again Christian (John 3:7), a child of God (John 1:12), a believer…so many “names” for those like me who recognize their need for a savior, turn from their...

Expand Your Devotion Time to Include Bible Study

by Beth | Jul 8, 2021 | Bible Study

Beyond Devotionals:There are so many great devotion books available today! Aren’t we blessed?! Or maybe you do the daily devotion in YouVersion (The Bible App). I find that such a good way to start my prayer and Bible study time in the morning. And they have some...

How Majestic Is His Name

by Beth | Jun 27, 2021 | Bible Study, Worship

God’s entire essence is majestic. His essence is above what our language can even describe. It is greater than the highest mountain or the deepest ocean or the most vast desert.

The Majesty and Glory of His Name

by Beth | Jun 23, 2021 | Bible Study, Worship

People who know me know that if someone asks about a favorite (food, movie, song, Bible verse, hymn, worship song, etc.), I struggle to pick one. Hasn’t God given us SO MANY great things to enjoy?! But today’s verse of the day in the Bible App brings me to my favorite...

The Marvelous Things He Has Done

by Beth | May 21, 2021 | Biblical Obedience

Oh to be as grateful and thankful as I should be for all that God has done for me! The Old Testament writers often admonished the Jewish people to call out what God had done for them – start with rescuing them from the bondage of Egypt. We should follow that...

Have You Ever Been Called a Rebel?

by Beth | May 17, 2021 | Salvation

I’ve never thought of myself as a rebel. I’m actually a very loyal person and a notorious rule-follower. And yet, as I encountered the New Living Translation of a very familiar verse, I was convicted. “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was...

Chill Out and Know That I Am God

by Beth | Apr 13, 2021 | Bible Study

Be still. When I was growing up, I think that imperative statement had an exclamation point at the end of it. When my mom or my Grandma Cook said it, it was an urgent command. So I have to change my perspective when I come to this verse. Instead of...

And That Is Why It Is Called Good Friday

by Beth | Apr 2, 2021 | Lent

Have you read the accounts of Good Friday? Luke 23:26-49 was part of my Lent reading plan and though I've read or heard this passage many times over the years, I saw something new this time. This is an awful scene. It is interesting that the crowd that had come to...

God Is Doing a New Thing

by Beth | Feb 22, 2021 | All Things New

Beginning in Genesis 1, God is at work doing something new. You can trace brand new, new again, and renewal for God’s people all the way to the eternity future when God says He will make ALL THINGS NEW. In studying for the Bible study I am writing on this theme,...

Lent – Day 2 – What’s Your Response to Christ?

by Beth | Feb 18, 2021 | Lent

“Six days before the Passover celebration began, Jesus arrived in Bethany, the home of Lazarus—the man he had raised from the dead.”‭‭John‬ ‭12:1‬ ‭NLT‬‬https://www.bible.com/116/jhn.12.1.nlt I love the song, “Broken and Spilled Out” that tells this story. Recently I...

Lent – Day 1 – Jesus’ Name and Character

by Beth | Feb 17, 2021 | Lent

It is only Day 1 but the Lord is already encouraging me and speaking to me through the first devotion in the “40 Days of Lent” reading plan in YouVersion. Today’s passage was Matthew 21:1-11. It’s not like these are new verses. I’ve read them in many Easter seasons...

No Complaining!

by Beth | Feb 14, 2021 | Bible Study, Biblical Obedience

Life is hard. Over 30 years ago when I was going through a divorce and becoming a single parent to two small boys, I received a card from a co-worker that I still keep. It is a reminder of a difficult time and a friend’s desire to comfort me. The front said, “Life is...

Loving the Lord With All Your Strength

by Beth | Feb 5, 2021 | Bible Study, Biblical Obedience

Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. This is such a familiar verse! And sometimes those are the hardest to internalize, aren’t they? The Bible app devotion today was so helpful, too (as...

Biblical Obedience – Praying for Those In Authority

by Beth | Jan 21, 2021 | Biblical Obedience

Praying for the government is commanded in scripture and I used to be much better at it...at least I did it more regularly. But in the past several years, I have given it "a lick and a promise" occasionally with intermittent times that I was more intentional and...
