And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:” Psalm 103:1-2
“Remember His marvelous works which He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,” Psalm 105:5

Who had done great things in Egypt,” Psalm 106:21

Oh, how I love the Psalms! I feel I could never tire of reading them, of being comforted by God through them, of s...
Are You Isolating?
“Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”” Mt. 22:37-40
For about 7 years, I spent a great deal of time on my own. In much solitude. With the Lord. I most assuredly spent time with people, and I most assuredly absolutely love people. But far mo...
Holy Spirit Speaking to You?
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27
Early one morning, the Holy Spirit said this to me:
Humble yourself. Often. Let there be no pride in you. Purify yourself. Often. Be the vessel I want you to be. Commune. Be in my presence at all times. Be filled with me. Everything I want you to do today I will give you the strength for. Be vigilant in loving me and loving others.
This is not unusual for me to hear from God like this. I hear from Him every day of my l...
Three Must-Have’s for Us All
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.” Mt. 5:6
“As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God…” Psalm 42:1
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance...

And forget not all His benefits:” Psalm 103:1-2

“Draw Near to God”
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8
God wants us in His forever fellowship. That’s why He sent His only Son Jesus to the cross to pay our sin penalty and be raised from the dead so all who turn from their sins to faith in Christ as Lord, truly devoting their hearts and lives to Him, are forgiven and given an everlasting relationship with Christ that we couldn’t otherwise have because of our sins and His holiness.
He not only wants us in His fellowship. He wants us close...

Deny Self and Go
“Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Luke 9:23
“How come the places I don’t want to go are the places you send me?” I whined to the Lord one afternoon.
Now, mind you, everywhere He has sent me I haven’t wanted to go, He has blessed me immeasurably in the way of opportunities to grow in His image and to love and worship and serve Him and to love and serve others. Not to mention He has blessed me in ot...

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Chris...

Update & Prayer Request from Lara
Hi friends,
Please forgive me for not sending my usual Daily Inspiration for some time. Due to multiple issues including my dropping and breaking my laptop I use to write and publish Gospel tracts, devotionals, and books, I have been unable to keep up with my usual Daily Inspiration. And I have very much missed writing it and sending it out! I hope God willing to back to it on a regular basis next week if not earlier.
I have continued to face a number of hurdles in my ministry work which have...

Don’t Give Up for This Reason
“while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Cor. 4:18
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Cor. 5:7
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2
“Don’t give up because of what you see,” the Spirit of God spoke to me one day.
What a hard, hard day it had been. No...
