This reflection was inspired by thoughts and suggestions from my wife during our daily Bible study (The Bible Recap). Today, her “God Shot” came from Psalm 115:2-8 (NIV), which speaks to God’s mercy and enduring presence. She shared the example of Jesus’ mercy on the cross, the story of Ruth…
When man believes he occupies a Ptolemaic view—that he is the center of the universe—we must be reminded of the Copernican truth: the Son is the King and is the true center of our universe. Just as Copernicus shifted our understanding of the heavens, moving us from a man-centered model…
Today’s reflection is inspired by Isaiah 6:8 (NIV), viewed through the lens of spiritual warfare.

I remember when the newness of the world became routine. It occurred when I saw the Grand Canyon some years back. It was beautiful, but the beauty numbed me after a few minutes as I moved from overlook to overlook. From that, I learned to slow down and take mental…
Today, I wondered how much our leaders, family, and friends have betrayed and disappointed us. That led me to the friendship verse we all know from Proverbs. Friendship and betrayal seem to be two sides of the same coin. My curiosity has led me to revisit these topics over the…
From this morning’s reading of “Jesus Calling,” I reflected on a passage particularly resonant during the season stretching from Thanksgiving to the New Year. “THANK ME FREQUENTLY as you journey through today.
