Glenda Shouse: Distracted Living
Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as (something done) for the Lord and not for men. ~Colossians 3:23 AMP Take my word for it, you cannot bake cookies and write a devotion at the same time. The results are not what I intended–overly brown sugar cookies. My thought was it will only take a minute to type these few words before I totally forget them. But that one thought led to another thought, and … Continue reading →
Diane Virginia: An Expected Visitor (3-Min)
Jenny expected a visitor, so as moonbeams danced through the curtains, she welcomed the day. She opened her Bible, which was to her the best love-letter ever. “Speak to me, Lord,” she whispered. Jenny’s thought meandered to the Bible Study she’d attended two days ago. The leader had asked God to enable them to reach someone trapped in a cult religion that week. “My Jesus,” Jenny said, “Am I prepared should You choose to send this visitor to my door? What … Continue reading →
Martin Wiles: Perspectives on Possessions
I couldn’t help but wonder what George Vanderbilt thought about Jesus’ warning against storing up wealth on earth. But then again, did Jesus really say it was a sin to do so? Perhaps His warning was only against the dangers of what wealth can do to our focus.

Diane Virginia: Skip… (3-Min)
When I taught the elementary grades, my litmus test for the children’s well-being was to observe them during recess and ask, “Are they skipping?” Even a child at rest will swing a foot, shrug a shoulder, or sway. I’ve learned skipping is a universal expression of joy. In Song of Solomon 7:1-2a, the Bride of Christ is allegorically pictured as a princess wearing gorgeous shoes, and with jeweled thighs. Why? She is spiritually adorned with these so she can … Continue reading →
Glenda Shouse: Lean on the Cross
I have the cross to lean on I have the Master’s hand to hold Though my feet often stumble He will never let me go. Though the road ahead is rocky And to my knees I fall I hold on even tighter Knowing He will never let go. Though storms around me rage And sometimes I am afraid His hand will always keep me, He will never let me go. Copyright 2020: Lean on the Cross: Author Glenda Shouse: All … Continue reading →
Diane Virginia: Circle of Love
O LORD, You have searched me and You know me. Psalm 139:1 NIV Jenna knelt at her bedside, weeping. She stroked her finger with her thumb and forefinger; the absence of her wedding band heightening her sense of loss. A simple band that had encircled her finger signified security. But apparently, Brian didn’t feel the same way. He had left her for a “new love.” Jenna was left grasping for answers. Could she have done something to keep him? No, … Continue reading →
