Ps. 107:8-9 Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for all his wonderful deeds to them. For he satisfies the thirst and fills the hungry with good things.

Praise the Lord for His great love. He is love. There is enough love in the heart of God to love everyone who has ever lived or shall yet live on earth. There is no depleting God’s love. God loves the lovely and unlovely. There is no bias in His love. There is nothing anyone can do to not be loved by God. Everything God does is blanketed by His love.

Praise the Lord for his wonderful deeds. God’s love is balanced by His holiness and goodness. It is a wondrous thing to observe what God does amongst men. We don’t always understand His workings at the time, but when we see what God does from the perspective of time, we stand in amazement at the goodness of God in all He does. God works amongst men for their good and for His glory. God knows what we need to have and experience in life in order for our hearts to be holy before Him. He knows how to treat us well.

Praise the Lord for He satisfies our thirst and fills our hunger with good things. The Lord is our provider. He takes care of all that we need. What we need more than anything else in life is pure hearts. We may want more, but we don’t need it. The Lord purifies those who hunger and thirst for Him. Those who desire to be made right before God will be given all that is needed to be holy.

Praise the Lord for He is love. Praise Him for His wonderful deeds. Praise Him for He satisfies all the longings of our souls when we seek Him.

Following the Holy Spirit, Behind the Story of “More Than This” 3/15/2024

Narrated by Artifical Intellegence – Kayla

Click Above to Read and/or Listen to the Devotional

Sometimes I can watch my life and totally know what God is doing. I can see Him setting things up and how and why He gets things to work. Other times, He takes me totally off-guard.

That would be exactly what He did with “More Than This”—my new release on Kindle.

For those who don’t know, I’m a seat-of-the-pants writer about 90% of the time. That means I may make notes along the way or get pieces of the story before I write them in the story, but I don’t plot the story out before I start writing it.  Most of the time, I get an idea (usually in the form of a dream), and I start somewhere and go with it.

Now, thankfully, the Holy Spirit knows what we’re doing because most of the time, I have no clue!  I write what He says to write, and we go where He wants to go. That’s not always as easy as it sounds because most of the time what it means for me (a recovering control-freak) is that I’m writing with no idea where this is going or how we’re ever going to get there.  Talk about walking on water!

And so it was with “More Than This.”  When I started, all I really remember is there was this guy who was sitting in the back corner of a coffee shop with his laptop, typing. He was in a black coat and all hunched over.  Yes. That’s how much I had to go on when I started.  I didn’t even know the guy’s name. (If you’re wondering how this works…. Yeah, so am I.)

Enter Liz, the cute but very shy waitress who is supposed to bring this guy coffee.  And thus began the story of “More Than This.”

I began writing this book right around the time that there was a major upheaval in my life in the form of my son’s extreme difficulty in first grade.  What ended up taking about 3 years to unravel showed up in my life about the same time I started “More Than This,” and although at the time I didn’t see it, I know the Holy Spirit was carefully putting in the pieces to make it all come together.

About 50 pages in to the story, I suddenly realized something strange.  When Jake (Yay! He now had a name!) was writing, I was never looking through his eyes.  I was literally “in his head.”  Okay, by now you know I’m weird, so here we go…

When I write, in my head, I “become” the character. I see the world as the character sees it. I navigate the world the way they navigate it—except this time I wasn’t quite doing that. Oh, I was in his head enough to know what he was writing, but I wasn’t seeing his computer screen.  That was quite odd.  After this strange way of “being in the story” became clear to me, I began to ask, “Why?” Why wasn’t he letting me see that computer screen?

And that’s when God did something really cool.  I started to ask, “What would make Jake not want me to see that screen? Why doesn’t he WANT me to see it?” (Because when I first tried, it was very clear he wasn’t about to let me see it.)  The answer that came blew me away.

You see, my son Andrew had been struggling and struggling with reading, spelling, and writing in school. As a former English teacher, I thought I could teach anyone to read—it was just a matter of practice.  Until I started trying to help Andrew, and “frustration” doesn’t even begin to cover it!

So, God, being the brilliant God He is, had my life on this parallel track I didn’t even realize I was on.  In real life, I was trying to find the solutions for dyslexia that my son desperately needed, and in my fiction, I was writing about a guy who was every bit the creative genius my son was, but who had never gotten any help for his dyslexia.  I could see in Jake the painful path we would travel if we didn’t work to find something to help Andrew.  I could feel the knives of “I’m not good enough” and “I’ve given up on myself” every time I got into Jake’s head and heart. What a hopeless, helpless, horrible feeling. That gave me even more determination to help Andrew.

Around the time we found actual answers for Andrew’s dyslexia, I started writing another book, “Something’s Not Right” about our journey through this confusing maze of something not being right with Andrew and his reading ability. I had thought about putting that book out several times since it was finished, but for some reason (God’s), I never did.  Then a month ago, “More Than This” burst back onto my life’s scene.  I edited it and then realized that “Something’s Not Right” needed to go out at the same time.

In two weeks, they were both done—with covers.

Sometimes God is truly amazing, and other times, He literally blows my mind.  How the Holy Spirit worked the dual journeys of “More Than This” and “Something’s Not Right” from wr

iting to publication and already into the hands of countless readers has definitely blown my mind!

I sincerely hope you are watching for how the Holy Spirit works in your life. It will ground you and inspire you in ways you never could have imagined.More Than This

Returning to Amanda

(Aloevale Book 1)

by Shirley Corder

Returning to Amanda

Amanda “Mandy” Kirkpatrick was once a rising star in the art world. But when she fell in love with pastor Owen Douglas, she put her dreams on hold and her paints to one side. Mandy focused all her energies on supporting her husband and creating for their children the loving, stable home-life she herself had lacked. She planned to return to her career when the kids started school, but as the years passed her brushes remained dry. Then came a move that changed everything.

Owen’s new congregation has rigid ideas of how their pastor and wife should behave. He throws himself into the work and expects the same of Mandy. The congregants swamp her with expectations beyond her abilities or desires. With a precocious teenager, two mischievous twins, a workaholic husband, and an interfering elderly neighbor, life becomes progressively stressful.

As a pandemic begins to advance around the globe, relationships come to a head, and Mandy makes the life-changing decision to run away in search of the woman she once was. But if she rediscovers Amanda Kirkpatrick, will she regret leaving Mandy, the pastor’s wife, behind? Or is there a way that she can be both artist and pastor’s wife?

Set Your Mind on Things Above 3/12/2024

Send to Kindle

by Robin McKinley

Narrated by Artificial Intellengience – Andrew

Click Above to Read and/or Listen to the Devotional

When was the last time you set your mind on heaven? I know for most of us, our days are filled trying to maintain busy schedules here on earth.

Instead of focusing on your worries for today and concerns of tomorrow, the Apostle Paul told us in Colossians to set our minds toward heaven.

Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:2-3

Paul wrote this statement to Christians because we often allow ourselves to get bogged down with the cares of this world. So much so, that we don’t give eternity much of a thought at all. Look what Paul wrote in the first verse.

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Colossians 3:1

In the next few verses, Paul told us how to set our minds on the things of heaven. He said we must stop doing the sinful things we did before we met Christ. Then he told us why.

So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you.

Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires.

Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. Colossians 3:5-6

Steps to Set Your Mind On Heaven

Paul didn’t stop there though. He included another list of sins we need to get rid of. This list came with urgency, “Now is the time.”

But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.

Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Colossians 3:8-9

I realize some of the things we did before we accepted Jesus are hard to shake. God also realized that as well. Therefore, He sent us the Holy Spirit who helps us to become more like Christ. Look at what the next two verses say.

Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. Colossians 3:10-11

He continued his instructions with a mini-lesson on the Fruit of the Spirit. These instructions lay the foundation for us to keep our minds set on the things of heaven

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:12-13

The Glue That Binds Us All Together

After that exhortation, he gave us two more valuable and important points. Let me illustrate them with this.

Did you ever try to glue two pieces of something together? You applied the glue and then you had to hold the two pieces together until the glue set. The next verse talks about the glue which binds us together.

Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14

The aopstle conclued by telling us what we must use to hold things together while the glue of love sets deep into our hearts.

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Colossians 3:15

Lord, right now as we are speaking to you we pause and take a deep breath. We think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. Help us to understand how we have died to this life. And now our real life is hidden with Christ in God.

Waking up to a thunderstorm recently, I was so glad that I don’t have to go anywhere first thing that morning.  I’d have to get an umbrella and face the rain and lightning.
Oh beloved, if you are facing a storm this morning, it’s time to get ready to go! You don’t have the spiritual luxury to remain in hiding. It’s time to get your feet shod with the Gospel of peace. It’s time to put on the helmet of salvation. It’s time to cover yourself with the whole armor of God. You can face whatever storm you are in because God is within you, you will not fail.  Take the Word out and prep for the storm. Take the Word with you as a sword to cut through the storm clouds to let the Light of the Lord in. It sounds impossible. But you will not only survive this storm, you will be stronger because of it. It’s not your time to fail in any area of life. It’s your time to overcome!  And be sure God doesn’t make light of your storm, but He will bring His Light into your situation so you can go out with joy!
God loves you and He is for you. Storms come and even without warning. But you have Holy Spirit within you so it’s going to be okay. And you will live in the Light of God’s fully covering message of Jesus Christ!
Ephesians 6:14-18 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.
Isaiah 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.

Psalm 107:29 He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that the waves of the sea are still. AMP

There are very few things in this life more fulfilling than helping someone else reconnect with God.

There are also very few things that can be as frustrating.

Now picture this:

You and I are standing in a dark room that has an unplugged lamp.  YOU have the cord.  All I can do is give you instructions.  I cannot touch your cord.  I cannot plug it in for you.

“Go to the wall.”

“I can’t find the wall.”

“Okay.  Then move toward the wall…. Have you moved?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Because I’m afraid.”

“It’s okay.  Just take a step.  One step.”

“But what if I bump into something?”

“You might, but you’re never gonna find the wall by standing there.”  Pause.  ”Okay. Have you moved?”

“No.”

And you start over again until MAYBE you get the other person to take A step.  ONE.

Then you get to start all over again.

Sometimes you actually get them to move, and then they bump into something and stop again.

Sometimes they get going and find the wrong wall.

Even when you get them TO the wall, finding the outlet can be a real challenge.

I am constantly amazed by the patience of God.  In fact, one of the most famous verses of the Bible says, “Love is patient.”  If God is love as another verse says, then it translates that “God is patient.”  To which I say THANK GOD for THAT!

You see, while I and my fellow believers are trying to help others reconnect, God is busy reconnecting ME ever-so-more tightly to Him.  I think of the Bible verse:  And the two shall become one.

That verse is meant to be about man and woman as husband and wife, but the truth is, it’s also about me and God.

God wants to connect with me so deeply that there is no me apart from Him. He wants to be my life.  Not just “in” my life or a “part of” my life.

The more that is true, the more in His image I become, the more patient with myself and others I get.  (See, how that works?!)

And it’s a good thing sometimes because I have a couple of friends who have come a LONG way in the eight or so years I’ve known the two of them, and they still have their moments!

In the book I’m currently writing the young man is in love with a young woman who has been through a monstrous amount of hurt and grief.  She is skittish of relationships, refuses to FEEL anything, and is hiding so much even from herself, he may never reach her.  In desperation, he talks with his mother about the situation.  She tells him about this love is patient quote, and she says that if he really loves this girl, he’s going to have to stand and wait for her to be ready.

I think, right there, is our calling if we are committed to reconnecting people with God.  We must be willing to stand and wait for that person and the breakthrough that IS coming.  When is it coming?  Sometimes, that’s a good question, and all I can tell you is, “In God’s time!”  While you’re waiting, get really good at practicing to be God’s image, and God’s image is love, which is first and foremost… PATIENT!

*~*~*

Here’s a great example of two people letting God put them each back together and then together from my books…

All JaMore Than Thiske wanted was a cup of coffee and a quiet place to write. What he found was her and far more than he ever imagined could be possible…

Liz Savoy has no plans to date anyone — least of all the dark handsome mystery man who sometimes inhabits the corner table at the coffee shop where she’s working to get through school. But plans change, sometimes in ways no one expected.

Jake McCoy is the next mega-millionaire author, or at least he would be if he could get the stories in his head down on the ether. With no good place to write, he resorts to dark corners in Wi-Fi hotspots, knowing no one in the world cares about him or his comings and goings one way or the other. However, there is one waitress at The Grind coffee shop with a cute smile and kind eyes who doesn’t seem to think he is as invisible as he likes to think he is. Can reality with her ever hope to match the fantasy world where his imagination has him living?

Egan

Egan

A man alone, looking for peace. Was this the place? Pain, romance, fulfillment, responsibility, death, life: Egan would face them all with his guns, his fists, his very soul.
A woman seeking solace, joy, support, acceptance: Pru had needs and wants that she and her children could not fill.
A community facing Indian wars, gold strikes, and crime.
They would all come together in a test of faith and the ties that bind.
And over it all the Presence of God at work.

Gems From Pastor Jim by Jim Hughes 3/5/2024

Cross

 

Ps. 103:13-14 The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he understands how weak we are; he knows we are only dust.

Dear child of God, are you acting like a child? By that I mean, are you simply trusting in the Lord to take care of you? We are prone to want to take care of ourselves. We often don’t take advantage of the Lord’s provisions and instead we strive to provide for our own needs. We often don’t turn to the Lord for advice before we make decisions in life. We often don’t take the time to come before Him and let him lavish His love on us. We often don’t appreciate what He is doing for us. We often take advantage of our relationship with Him and do what we want to do and not what He commands us to do. We often act like spoiled brats who don’t appreciate what it means to be a child of God. We often don’t show our Father the love and respect He deserves. So often, it is difficult for others to even know that we are God’s children.

On the other hand, our Father is tender and compassionate towards those who fear Him, towards those who respect Him as their Father and honors Him in their lives. Like any loving father, God has nothing but good in mind for us. He wants nothing but what is best for us and He knows what that is. Our Father is patient and kind towards us because He knows how weak and fragile we are. He knows we will stumble and fall and He is there to pick us up, dust us off, and help us on our way. He understands our weakest points and strives to help us avoid them. He understands what it takes to raise a child and lovingly stays with us all through the process, not matter how exasperating we may be to Him.

“Thank you, O Lord, for indeed you are our Father in heaven. Thank You for all you do for us and your patience towards us. Thank You, for loving us as you do. Forgive us for when we act like spoiled brats who don’t appreciate your loving care. Forgive us for when we shame Your name. Forgive us for all those times in which we stray from Your loving care. And, we know you do. And, we thank You for it and praise you today. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
