I haven't slept and I really needed this scripture. God gave this to me in a dream, many years ago. This proves to me God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Please pray for my healing from Arthritus, Diabetes, Parkinsons, and the list goes on. I know Jesus died for my healing. I Believe, Help my unbelief. Blessing in Jesus' Name. I appreciate hearing your messages. Thanks, BG tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2010-03-05:2882801 Anonymous 2010-03-05T17:49:31Z 2010-03-05T17:49:31Z Thank you for this devotion. It reminded me of something a friend said to me when she visited us recently. We drove her to many of the sites around here and at one point she asked whether we ever tire of looking at the mountains...or take them for granted. I answered "no" to both. We live in a valley about 70 miles from Las Vegas, surrounded by mountains. Even today with the temp. in the 60's the mountains are snow capped and very beautiful. Of course, during the summer the snow will have melted, but the mountains will still be beautiful. Instead of trees we have cactus, and instead of grass we have rocks, but I'm always in awe of our God's creation. tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2010-03-05:2882793 Anonymous 2010-03-05T17:46:42Z 2010-03-05T17:46:42Z I just wanted to pass on to you how much I enjoy your daily devotionals and that quite often I share them with fellow elders. This one on coaching (and learning) is really good. Several years back I put together a study on the progression of the foolish. There are several Hebrew words interpreted (depending upon translation) as “fool” with the final one being “nabal” – the godless fool.<br /><br />Thanks for being my “teacher” and opening up Scripture to me.<br /><br />Blessings upon you, your family and your ministries. tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2010-03-05:2882720 Anonymous 2010-03-05T17:10:53Z 2010-03-05T17:10:53Z I've often told you how I appreciate your devotions. Today's came at another point when seemingly not one thing is moving in a positive direction. But God continues to speak to us through His word and through those He uses to spread it.<br />Peace tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2010-01-27:2762339 Anonymous 2010-01-28T01:44:18Z 2010-01-28T01:44:18Z I want to thank you for today's devotion. It made me realize I already have some spiritual landmarks and I need to look at them more often. I've been journaling for many years. I have over 23 journals. I also have other landmarks. I keep crocuses in my front and back yards to remind me how God got me through post-partum depression nearly 12 years ago. The depression is like snow and the hope on the other side is like the crocuses. My other spiritual landmark is a beautiful vase I bought at Tiffany's when my children were small, soon after that. It reminds me how with God's help I got through a difficult time when my husband was at work and school and I felt isolated with small children. Now I'm going through another trial. After being out of work for a year, my husband has taken a job out of state. The kids and I are here in Michigan and we see him only on weekends. I work 32 hours a week at a retail job so we have medical insurance. My kids are 14, 12 and 10.5 and in three different schools. I've had to drop all of my "fun" activities like running children's ministry and heading my ladies group because it's all I can do to keep the kids up to date on schoolwork, get them to activities and make sure there is food in the house. I really liked your comment "when you can't cope with the future, check with the past". When I look at my crocuses or my vase, I can remember how God has never let me down before and he will get me through this too. tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2009-12-29:2690777 Julie Graham 2009-12-30T02:25:10Z 2009-12-30T02:25:10Z I am stuggling with a loss of a dear friend, Julie Blackwell, she died on monday, Dec. 21th at Disney with a heart attack. She was only 41. She knew Jesus and so she is spending Christmas with Him and all the saints! tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2009-12-24:2677186 Bruce Langman 2009-12-24T17:21:40Z 2009-12-24T17:21:40Z This was the best ever. tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2009-12-24:2677147 Joyce Lewis 2009-12-24T16:54:34Z 2009-12-24T16:54:34Z I just want to take this time to say <br />Thank you for the beautiful inspirational devotions you plan for us each day. I look forward to them and often send them on to my children & grandchildren. They touch the heart and seem to be what a person needs each day. Thanks and have a Blessed and Merry Christmas.

What a good reminder. tag:devotions.lccharities.org,2009-11-18:2574369 Jan Mayyou 2009-11-18T23:35:34Z 2009-11-18T23:35:34Z Nice devotion today. I’ve always found John 10:16 an interesting verse. Much like the pools in the Magician’s Nephew in C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, it seems to me that other pens would exist on other planets in the universe. After all, we know there are cognizant beings outside of this world in the form of angels…would God or would He not create all of that space to put only us (life on earth) in it? Obviously, He has power to make it happen. It’s one of the first questions that will be answered for me when I look around on our new earth. Thanks for the devotion.
