Throw Away the Idols

Throw Away the Idols

VineWords Devotions and More

I have a confession: I am a people-pleaser and perfectionist. I needed to throw away the idols. Making mistakes makes me feel less than valuable in others’ eyes. But one week, God allowed me to feel as if mistakes overwhelmed me. I forgot an appointment, I was rude to a waiter, and I had writing errors on a document. I felt embarrassed and shameful—cringing inwardly, knowing friends had seen my imperfections. Until I read Isaiah’s words. This is the way; … Continue reading →

Forgetting the Past

Forgetting the Past

VineWords Devotions and More

I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. ~Philippians 3:13-14 NLT To work on forgetting the past, I carried sentimental gifts, collections, and other accumulations to my garage for a garage sale. My dark and threatening path through divorce brought me a God-appointed mentor. I had joked with … Continue reading →

What to Do in the W.A.I.T.

What to Do in the W.A.I.T.

VineWords Devotions and More

If you’re anything like me, sometimes waiting can be very difficult. Proverbs 13:12 says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick. “And if I’m honest, even though I know God has a greater plan for our lives and His ways are better than anything we could ever imagine, waiting for the things our hearts longs for can at times make us feel like God has forgotten about us and that our dreams may never happen. Yet in faith—we still must wait…

lugging luggage

Lugging Luggage

VineWords Devotions and More

Now turn from your sins and turn to God, so you can be cleansed of your sins. ~Acts 3:19 NLT As I turned the corner and squinted at the gate numbers, I knew I wasn’t finished lugging luggage. My wife and I and another couple were on our way to Nova Scotia, Canada, for mission work. With an hour layover in Chicago, we imagined we’d have time to catch our breath before our last leg of the flight. The terminal … Continue reading →

peace in a storm

Peace in a Storm

VineWords Devotions and More

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.  ~Psalm 19:1–2 NIV Peace in a Storm Early last night, a June storm pummeled our home. Rain prattled against the window, Thunder rumbled the sky, all the earth drenched–– Each tree branch, every flowering plant And blade of grass drank deeply of heaven, Pouring its provision of sustenance For ten long minutes, … Continue reading →

Counting Woes

Counting Woes

Can you remember having a day like this when you counted “woes” instead of blessings? The enemy of our soul is happy when we are distracted by the trials that we are experiencing. Then we won’t notice God’s beauty surrounding us. My mind was on me and all I needed to accomplish, instead of remembering all Jesus has done for me. …

No Place to Sit

Prior to the coming of the Messiah, the priest had to repeat the same duties for the same people over and over, year after year. Those sacrifices were only a temporary fix to an ongoing problem. The High priest was constantly on his feet in service for the needs of the people, and no doubt he was worn out at the end of the day. ..
