Let your light shine Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.  Matthew 5:16 What do you see when you reflect back on your life and ask the questions: Have I achieved everything I have set out to do so far?  How amContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Series”

This is a hard saying Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 5:10 This one is hard for me. It’s hard for me to understand how persecution can be a blessing. Sure, I can receive it by faith, but to write about it with convictionContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

The Sealed of God Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, Revelation 7:2 When you buy many products in the store, they areContinue reading “Friday, March 1, 2024”

A great earthquake I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.  Revelation 6:12 I live in western Pennsylvania so, as you can imagine, we don’t get a lot of earthquakes around here.  Oh,Continue reading “Wednesday, February 28, 2024”

Peacemakers Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.  Matthew 5:9 Imagine you were sent to this world to make peace.  Not with other people, but to connect other people with God.  An ambassador.  That’s what Jesus did.  The angels proclaimed peace the night He was born into the Earth.  TheyContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

Pure in Heart Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.  Matthew 5:8 The pure in heart, the innocent?  Remember when you were?  Probably a very long time ago, but still today you always look for the best in others.  You expect good things are going to happen and you have hopeContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

The Third Seal When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come and see.” So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.  Revelation 6:5 I remember when March 2020 hit, and the country shut down forContinue reading “Friday, February 23, 2024”

Conflict When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.” Revelation 6:3 At the beginning of this year, the Lord showed me that when conflict arises, I should press into it and get excited about what resolution will come out of it. When conflict is faced properly, itContinue reading “Thursday, February 22, 2023”
