Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified. Psalm 40:16 While on a ministry trip, we stop at a restaurant in the city where we are staying. After we are seated by the hostess, a waiter comes to let us know he will be taking care of our order. The waiter is a young man. I ask him how he is. He responds that he is wonderful, but he [...]

“I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.” (Psalm 145:5, KJV) We were at the airport on our way to Australia.

We went to the airport the following day. We were with the ticket agent with whom [...]

You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.” (Psalm 36:6, NLT) We were looking for a farmers’ market near our home instead of having to drive out to the country.

But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. (2 Corinthians 2:14) We were driving through the country and stopped at a small farmers’ market. At one of the stands, barbecue was being made. My husband went to stand in line to place an order. The cooks were working hard preparing the orders, but for some reason the [...]

“Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.” (Isaiah 12:3, KJV) We had to get to the pet supply store in the middle of five o’clock traffic. The store is in another town from where we live. After arriving at the store, we learned that they were out of the brand of dog food that our dog eats. I thought, We went all that way there and no dog food. I asked the attendant about another [...]

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”  (Matthew 28:18, KJV) I felt the enemy coming against me, as we were driving to the grocery store.

“I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.” (Isaiah 43:11, KJV) We were rushing through our errands and stopped at the grocery store. I quickly gathered a couple of items that we needed and went to check out. I thought, Hmmm?

I noticed she was wearing a cross on her necklace. I showed [...]
