God is...

Today we will read Psalm 34:8 which says, “Taste and See that the Lord is good. How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him!” This verse could have began with, “Think and know.” Or “Try and Focus.” Or “Ponder and meditate.” But it doesn’t. It says “Taste. Taste and See.” Your senses of tasting and seeing root you to the world around you as do your other senses. Thinking and pondering is important...

Today we will read Genesis 1:1 - the first verse in the Bible. It says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” There was a beginning to the universe.

There’s no more consequential miracle than the resu...

Today we will read Jeremiah 29:12-13. It says, “You will call to me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” Let’s break it down. You will call - and pray. To call on God is to pray. Prayer is not a laundry list. Or passive thoughtless bliss. It’s calling on God. Just as you would call on a friend, or someone you t...

Today we will read Matthew 22:36-38. Jesus is asked by one of the religious elites, “Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important commandment.” Jesus always responds well. Little known fact, Jesus most often quotes from the Psalms. But the book tha...
