Tuesday, March 31 Master Architect "For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God." Hebrews 3:4 Heartbeat of God, page 81 What do you and the Garden of Eden have in common? The same God that planned and designed the very beginning of time planned and designed you! He is the Master Architect who has a purpose for his creations and completes his desires just as he intended. Most of us have struggled at some point in our lives about how we were made.

And (Ruth) happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz. Ruth 2:3 Heartbeat of God, page 102 The book of Ruth is one of my very favorite books of the Bible. I just love how Ruth just always seemed to do the next right thing. She made her home in a foreign land and instead of depending on Naomi or waiting for good fortune to happen, she took the initiative. She went to work. God knew all along where He was directing her. It was not a coincidence that she woul

For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son. Colossians 1:13 Heartbeat of God, page 113 For some reason, I’m so very excited about this title of our good God today. Could anyone use a “game change” right about now? For a couple of weeks, I’ve been encouraging others to rest during this time of uncertainty, because we know is ultimately in control. We can remain at rest, because He is sovereign. I’ve tried to inspire anyo

March 26 God of Blessings (Heartbeat of God, p. 232) “The Lord bless you, and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 “Blessings” is my word for this year. Everywhere I look, I see God’s blessings in my life and in the lives of others. We have a God of blessings! How can we not praise Him all day long for His goodness to us!? He is so ready to bless us that even when w

One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts. Psalm 145:4 It always amazes me that the same God that spoke to Adam in the garden, to Moses in the burning bush, and to Paul by the roadside, is the same God that speaks to me in my little den today. Truly, our heritage is great! Aren't you thankful these men in some way passed down their God-encounters so that we may hold His truths? Think of the Bible stories that you know (Daniel in the

The hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us. Hebrews 6:19-20 Post: p. 78 When you think of the word "anchor" what comes to your mind? Because I grew up in a “fishing” family, I picture an anchor being used to secure a boat in a good spot to catch fish. I also think about the many times we use an anchor on the lake so our boat doesn’t float away when we want to ge

And Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah 1:17 Heartbeat of God, page 154 God knows all things. He sees the beginning, the middle, and the end. Nothing is too difficult for Him. I want to approach this post a little differently. I am going to give key phrases and attach scripture to those phrases. I hope this is good resource information applicable for such a time as this. God is Omnipotent: God is able to solve my problem (Ephesians 3:20). N

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them. Psalm 34:7 Post: p. 84 I'm writing this post a little early, because I'm traveling this weekend and may not be able to write on Friday. Even now, though, I'm praising God for His protection. I'm wordy by nature and often can't summarize a writing to save my life. Yet, during these 40 days of praise I've found that most often I want my words to be few and His words to be many. I'm feeling that way again

Thursday, March 19th God, You Are Everywhere “Can a man hide himself in hiding places, so I do not see him?” declares the Lord. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 23:24 Heartbeat of God, page 187 Because of all the social distancing we are required to have at the present moment, we are, basically, secluded from each other. All around the world over 8 billion people are in isolation, longing for connection yet warned to stay away from others

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; speak of all His wonders. 1 Chronicles 16:8-9 Heartbeat of God, page 155 In our header verse God gives us some instructions to follow concerning His wonderful works: we are to give thanks, we are to call upon His name, we are to make known His deeds, we are to sing praises, and we are to speak of all His wonders. Today, let's simply obey His word. Instead
