The Great Mouse Scare

“And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Matthew 21:22 (NKJV) A friend of mine shared unexplainable things that were happening in her home. I immediately asked the question, “When you are awakened to noises, what do you do?” I was reminded of a similar thing happening to me when I was in Bible college. I moved off campus and rented a basement suite. My first night there, I heard banging in the boxes at the end of my bed. I thought it was a mouse that had got into a box and was trying to get […]

The Overgrown Trail

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17 (NIV) “So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” Colossians 1:10 (NIV) “Do everything in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:14 (NIV) A while back I went walking down an old trail I hadn’t been on since I was a kid. I guess nobody else had been either because it was all […]

What’s In a Name?

“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” Proverbs 22:1 (NIV) Humility is one of the characteristics of a godly person. It’s much better to have others speak highly of oneself than it is for us to do it ourselves! But a good and godly name is something to celebrate, and something to strive for. Notice that our emphasis is often on our last name rather than our first. If “Craig” is a good name, then it would mean me being measured up alongside all others named Craig. But it’s […]

Choices

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV) We’re surrounded by choices. I made choices this morning — what to wear and what to eat, how I am going to spend this day, and what kind of mood I am going to face this day with. Everyday living requires choices. Every choice we make is up to us. I talked with a young lady recently about some of the decisions she was making. She was making some pretty negative choices in the areas of addiction and […]

Gossip: A Source of Discord

“Six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look . . . and one who sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16,19 (NKJV) With Sophie and her friends, it’s playing cards every Saturday night. Each player places 100 pennies in “the pot” for a “winner take all.” But they seldom have a winner because juicy gossip always takes over. “Guess who’s getting a divorce?” Josie says. “Mrs. Better-and-Richer-than-Thou, Marcia. That’s who!” “You’re kidding me! After all that bragging about what her husband buys her? I bet that ‘diamond’ ring she flashed around was nothing but […]

The Act of Forgiveness

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Luke 6:37 (NKJV) I have had to come to God many times to help me forgive someone who has hurt me or wronged me in some way — not so much physically, but certainly emotionally. One example I will mention is, when I was quite young, I had a special cat I loved. At that time living on the reserve, we had a day-school teacher who was boarding in our home. He decided one Sunday morning, while my […]

From Rusting Away to Rescued

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) Previously, I wrote a devotional about an old 1964 Mercury school bus that’s been rusting away in the bush behind my dad’s place since 1976. I looked forward to the hope that someday, someone would take it, work on it, and transform it to the “sweet machine” it had the potential to be. I’ve waited since 1976 for that to happen and, finally, I think it’s almost here. You see, this collector from Seattle […]

You Are Mine

“My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:27-30 (NASB) Growing up, it was just my mom and me. Of course, it takes a village to raise children, but for the most part, it was just us. This is a big […]

Don’t Let the Mold Grow

“Sin is crouching at the door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” Genesis 4:7 (NIV) One afternoon I was giving announcements at my workplace. All of a sudden, it felt like my air supply had been completely cut off. My heart was racing, everything started to spin, and I couldn’t breathe! This began an unexpected health journey for me. It took nearly a year to discover the root cause. I went through all kinds of tests, and all of them came back normal. Heart and lungs were all good, but I still felt like I […]
