Word Filled Wednesday



The lazy days of summer vacation are rapidly coming to an end. A new school year begins next week. There is a big change this year at our home where our oldest son will be attending college. Although we are supporting and providing for him what he needs, much of the responsibility to succeed lies in his hands.

Proverbs is a book in the Bible filled with rich wisdom to carry us through life. The older (more mature!) I get, the clearer I understand these lessons in wisdom and desire to pass them along. This is my prayer for the beginning a new school year, for the lives of my sons to always pursue mercy and truth and in every area of their lives trust the Lord and follow Him.


May you be blessed today through WFW and may God's Word enrich and encourage you in all your ways!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
