Dear Friends, “…..we do not lose heart; but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things [...]

Rooted and Grounded

Dear Friends, There is an interesting reference in Hosea where the Lord says, “I will be as the dew unto Israel. He shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.” (Hosea 14:5) Though said primarily of Israel, these words also describe the beginning of everything in the experience of God’s children. [...]
Some Better Thing

Dear Friends, In my last Letter, I recalled a number of examples of troubles and trials working together for good, the Valley of A’chor representing not only ‘trouble’ but also a ‘door of Hope.’ “And what shall I more say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of [...]
Door of Hope
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Achan, hope, trouble, Valley of A’chor on January 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Dear Friends, My attention has been drawn inexplicably to some references in the Scriptures to the Valley of A’chor. From what I can determine, it was a valley, or deep ravine, south of Jericho on the northern boundary of Judah. That would be just near the North-West coast of the Dead Sea. It was there [...]
Precious Promises
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Faith, His purposes, hope, promise, promises, timeless on December 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Referring again to a quotation in my last letter from 2 Peter 1:4 & 5, a further thought stood out to me concerning God’s “precious and wondrous promises” which He has given to us. The phrase “in order that” explains the purpose for these wondrous promises. They are given in order that- through them – [...]
Grace Great Enough
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Faith, Grace, hope, love, Peace on November 13, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Having mothered six children, been involved with our own business, and having been active in our local Church for many years, I know what it’s like to be overwhelmed with daily activities. I can relate to some of my readers who are ‘stressed out’ with modern day pressures and demands. Over the last number of [...]
The Greatest of These
Posted in Spiritual, tagged 1 Cor. 13, Faith, hope, love on October 21, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Dear Friends, “And now abides FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.” (1 Cor. 13:13) The context of this reassuring declaration is that, for the present, we have only limited sight, seeing things as if in a mirror dimly. And the knowledge we have is very limited and imperfect. But [...]
Have Faith in God
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Faith, hope, love on September 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Dear Friends, FAITH is the first of the triad of that which “abides,” and is very closely related to HOPE and LOVE. In my last letter regarding our HOPE in God, I stated that “Biblical hope is inseparable from Faith in God. It is not merely a wish or a want but, rather, a confident [...]
Hope Thou in God
Posted in Spiritual, tagged compassion, Faith, His Mercies, hope on August 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? HOPE THOU IN GOD: for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” In one of our recent devotional readings, I was very much inspired by this phrase and determined to see what [...]
Amazing Grace!
Posted in Spiritual, tagged Grace, great hymns, hope, John Newton on July 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Greetings! We hear the words of this old, very well-known hymn played and sung everywhere, sung by Christian congregations the world around, at funerals of both believers and unbelievers, and piped by the Scottish pipe bands at military memorials. There is an interesting story behind the writing of the hymn. The author was John Newton [...]
