Awesome God
By Terri Pettyjohn - May 07, 2008
Isaiah 40:12 “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand...or weighed the mountains in a balance?” There is nothing like floating on a lake that is 200 feet deep to give you an overwhelming feeling of insignificance. The fact that a device with less than one yard of orange material is all that is keeping you afloat and out of danger is an intimidating thought to a mediocre swimmer like myself. But, its buoyancy gives a false sense of empowerment. Can this God that I minimi...

No Matter What
By Terri Pettyjohn - April 15, 2008
I have a very real aversion to liars, I just hate being around them. Adulterers? I have better ways to spend my time than being around them. What does a liar and an adulterer have in common? They were men that God used as He used no one else in history. Through Abraham He founded the Jewish race, and he called David a man after His own heart. No one can have true empathy until they have faced the same problem and...

The Command in Service
By Donna Patrick - March 28, 2008
Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. Bless the Lord, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the Lord, O my soul! (Psalm 103:21-22) (NASB) I have often said there are really only two places we can safely praise God: anywhere and everywhere. That pretty much covers it. David tells us to bless the Lord at all times and to always keep a praise in our mouths. Today's meditation, I believe, encourages those in ministry. Whatever your a...

Some Reasons to Praise God, Part 2
By Donna Patrick - March 13, 2008
Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven; To Thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, For Thou hast given me wisdom and power; Even now Thou hast made known to me what we requested of Thee, For Thou hast made known to us the king's matter. Daniel 2:19, 23 (NASB) In Part 2 of our "Reasons to Praise" series, Daniel is praising God because God had revealed to him the mystery of King Nebachadnezzar's dream. This dream wa...

One More Reason to Praise God
By Donna Patrick - Feb 26, 2008
And the Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8) (NASB) The only thing we can be truly certain of in life on earth is that life is uncertain. This is true in every arena of life - home, work, our relationships with others, church life, competitors in business, school, etc. We make plans that may or may not succeed, no matter how well thought out. We work to make a...

A Praise Revival
By Donna Patrick - Feb 14, 2008
But the Lord was with Joseph. . . and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper. Genesis 39:21, 23 (KJV) And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, "You are a numerous people and have great power;. . .but the hill country shall be yours. For though it is a forest, you shall clear it, and to its farthest borders it shall be yours. . . Joshua 17:17, 18 (NASB) I've just experienced a praise revival. No, I didn't attend a five-night church se...

Let Judah Go Up First - 2
By Donna Patrick - Jan 12, 2008
Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous ordinances. Psalm 119:164 (NASB) When they began singing and praising, the Lord set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah. . . Chronicles 20:22 (NASB) As the year 2007 comes to a close, many of us are reflecting on things that happened, things that DIDN'T happen, plans that were not quite fulfilled, plans that WERE fulfilled, things we wish we had done, and things we wish w...

Now Unto Him
By Donna Patrick - Jan 11, 2008
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling. . .To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. (Jude 24(a)-25) (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (Eph. 3:20) (KJV) It's here. Are you ready? The year 2008 has arrived and ther...

Let Judah Go Up First
By Donna Patrick - Dec 22, 2007
Now the sons of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God and said, "Who shall go up first for us to battle against the sons of Benjamin?" Then the Lord said, "Judah shall go up first." Judges 20:18 (NASB) We know from Genesis chapter 29 that Leah named her 4th son Judah because with the birth of this son, she chose to praise the Lord. She knew that Jacob did not love her, but at some point between the 3rd and 4th son, she decided, “this time I will praise the Lord”(Ge...

Trust Him
By Terri Pettyjohn - Dec 10, 2007
Psalm 56:4 “In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?” Such easy words to read quickly, but not so easy to fall back on in the heat of the battle. It’s not that hard to trust God implicitly when things are going well, when mornings begin with song and laughter is the rule of the day. Bank accounts are adequate, pension plans are secure, and the profit margin far exceeds any small blip of red from the loss margin. He wants us to tru...
