Stephanie Pavlantos: Do You Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness?

VineWords Devotions and More

The hunger mentioned in Matthew 5:6 is not this kind of hunger but means a poor person who works to fend off starvation. The Hebrew word for this kind of hunger is reab and it means famine, dearth (the scarcity of something), and hunger….

Stephanie Pavlantos: Shalom

VineWords Devotions and More

How blessed are those who make peace! For they will be called sons of God. ~Matthew 5:9 CJB I am a middle child. I have three older sisters and two younger ones. My eldest sister, Cindy, is nine years older than me, while my youngest sister, Melanie, is nine years younger. The term most often applied to middle children is peacemakers. That was my role as a child in our loud and sometimes chaotic family. I hated conflict and strove … Continue reading →

Stephanie Pavlantos: The Pure in Heart Sees God Everywhere

VineWords Devotions and More

How blessed are the pure in heart! For they will see God. ~Matthew 5:8 CJB I read a great quote on the Beatitudes by Skip Moen, Ph.D. He says, “[A Beatitude] is not a “blessing” that implies one party granting a favor to another party. A Beatitude is really a macarism, an announcement of an existing state, a status of happiness. https://skipmoen.com/2018/02/character-1/ Today, we will explore the sixth Beatitude of Matthew 5. As said above, these are not blessings over you … Continue reading →

Stephanie Pavlantos: Mercy!

VineWords Devotions and More

How blessed are those who show mercy! For they will be shown mercy. ~Matthew 5:7 CEV One of my mom’s favorite expressions of surprise is “Mercy!” Imagine that with a Southern accent.  My youngest son, Michael loved to imitate her by repeating it when she visited. My mom always got a kick out of it. Even though my mom is no longer able to drive up to see us–and for now is living in South Texas–Michael will occasionally go around … Continue reading →

Stephanie Pavlantos: The Poor in Spirit

VineWords Devotions and More

And you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth. ~Revelation 5:10 ESV Biology was and is my favorite subject. I loved learning about the different plants, animals, cells, and fungi in the world, especially how we as humans fit into it all. This world belongs to our Creator and everything in it He made it with a purpose—except mosquitos….I’m not sure of their purpose other than to feed bats and … Continue reading →

The Fruit of Faithfulness

The Fruit of Faithfulness

  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ~Galatians 5:22-23a CSB “Come say ‘Hello’ to Mary.” Billy smiled as I approached their table. I was about to see the fruit of faithfulness.   I was sure she did not remember me. Her brain tumor had taken this once-talented artist and turned her into a shadow of her previous self. But as I greeted Mary, she shared the same gracious smile … Continue reading →

KITE TROUBLE Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. ~Psalm 1:1-2 ESV Don’t crash but listen was a lesson Jeffery learned the hard way.  The March day was brisk and windy, making it perfect for flying a kite.  “Dad, can you … Continue reading →
