You Have Found Favor with God (Luke 1:26-38)
There is nowhere we can go, no place on earth, no situation whatsoever that is beyond God’s ability, reach, and power to effect the divine will.
The Annunciation, by Liviu Dumitrescu
Six months after Elizabeth had become pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The virgin’s name was Mary.
When the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, “You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you.”
She was startled by what…

I Just Need Some Rest
Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me. Psalms 116:7
We carry a variety of burdens every day. Physical burdens of exhaustion, sore muscles, illness, or the inevitable ‘old age.’
The emotional burdens we carry are legion. Relationships that are difficult. Our kids make choices we never raised them to make. The rising cost of living seems out of control. Politicians…

Asbury University and the Manifest Presence of God
I am cautioned, at the same time, by the words of Jesus to the woman at the well that we need to worship God in spirit and truth.
I don’t recall where I obtained this capture, but I am grateful for it.
I woke up thinking about the phrase, “manifest presence of God”. I am not sure where I even heard that phrase. I had not thought of it in ages, but the phrase popped into my head when I slipped from my dreams last night into a brief state of consciousness.
I would say that the so-called “Asbury revival” is an example of the…

Healing by Helping Others
When I am hurting, who do I think of most? ME!I check my text messages right after I post my blog each morning. This day’s message from my son made me hurt for my youngest grandson. “Our Bryson had quite an accident today. They all went to the lake. Bryson was climbing up a building to jump off into the lake. A piece of steel was hanging out and sliced his foot almost to the bone. Six stitches…

Our Safe Healing Place
David knew the release and healing that would come after he poured out his complaint in God’s presence.
I cry out with my voice to the Lord; with my voice I implore the Lord for compassion. I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare my trouble before Him. (Psalm 142:2)
David knew the release and healing that would come after he poured out his complaint in God’s presence. The injuries others have done to us afflict our thoughts and emotions, and we need a safe place to get that poison out of our…

Immanuel: Exploring the Depths of "God With Us"
Introduction
Throughout the sweeping narrative of biblical history, the theme of God’s presence paints a picture of intimacy, then distance, followed by ultimate restoration. From the idyllic walks in Eden to the prophetic fulfillment in a humble manger, the presence of God has shaped the contours of humanity’s story, revealing a divine desire to dwell among His people.
The Intimacy of Eden

Where is God?
Creation of Life Hands by Leonardo Da Vinci
The other day, a friend called and was catching me up on their life. He told me he had been dating a pretty girl and asked if I would like to see a photo of her. I said, “Sure.” As I looked at her, he shared that they were no longer seeing each other, and he repeated the hurtful words she said to him. Then he asked me, “Does she look like a devil to…

Zechariah 2:10 Sing And Rejoice
“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. Zechariah 2:10

Prayer
“God, when I think about You, I am filled with awe and much wonder. You are so much greater than me, and yet, You long to know me. With a breath You created people, and You care deeply about my life. l So with all that I am, I will praise You, because You are my Creator and Savior, and there is no one like You. You Alone are worthy of my praise and adoration! In Jesus’s name, Amen.” Prayer from…

God has a plan for you, regardless of your circumstances.
God proclaims “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”As we go through our lives we face so many challenges and hardships. Many times our faith is tested. It is every time in my situation, especially in the UnChristian atmosphere where I am currently living. We often mistake ourselves by calling…

Seen by God (Genesis 16:7-15)
I believe that one of the great tragedies of modern Western civilization is that we can live among so many other people, yet not be seen by so many of them.
The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
“I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered.
Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so…

Why Does God Feel Absent?
I think most of us would have really enjoyed the relationship that Adam and Eve had with God. He was like a member of the family. They would see Him on a frequent, if not daily basis.
Unless you are blind, you really depend on your eyes. Even though we know that there are things that can’t be seen, seeing is believing for most of us. Everything else tends to feel a bit surreal. This holds true…

Genesis 46:1-3 - Part 1 - JACOB AND A BRIDGE TO THE UNKNOWN
Jacob is now an old man. He knows that the land of Canaan was promised to his descendants and yet he is about to move to Egypt. He has lived in this promised land for a long time now and no doubt leaving it has given him reason to pause and reflect.

Links & Quotes
Some links and quotes that caught my eye this week.
We are to love the sinner but hate the sin. This is hard to do, especially when the sin they are doing is directed at us and making us angry! Jesus gave us a great example in these times of high anger: withdraw. Check out my full message “A Christlike Response to Skeptics.” I have lots of new content every week, which you can check out on my YouTube channel.
