Let Go of the Reins
“The Lord reigns;
Let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of isles be glad!…
Clouds and darkness surround Him;
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
A fire goes before Him,
And burns up His enemies round about.
His lightnings light the world;
The earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples see His glory….” Psalm 97: 1-6
“Let go...

God’s Messages, God’s Warnings
“I raised up some of your sons as prophets,
And some of your young men as Nazirites.
Is it not so, O you children of Israel?”
Says the Lord.
“But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink,
And commanded the prophets saying,
‘Do not prophesy!’” Amos 2:11-12
“That this is a rebellious people,
Lying children,
Children who will not hear the law of the Lord;
Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.

My Scared Paralyzed Dog: A Little Lesson
“My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation;
He is my defense;
I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory;
The rock of my strength,
And my refuge, is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah” Psalm 62:5-8

Praise, Proclaiming, & Paralyzed Dogs
“Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day.” Psalm 71:8
On an extremely regular basis sometimes almost every day as I walk my two wheelchair paralyzed dogs people give me praise. Oh, how I once would have longed for and craved and taken great delight in such positive attention and wonderful accolades. But my answer is always the same. The words may vary, but the message is loud and clear.
“I give ALL THE GLORY to the Lord!” I exclaim. “He gets ALL THE CREDIT.” I...
Two Miracles in a Minute
““But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?” Luke 6:46
I was walking through the New York City park where the Lord has blessed me with numerous ministry opportunities when all of a sudden I asked Him this.
“Lord, do you want me to do this?” I spoke to Him in my heart.
His answer was immediate.
No.
My response was immediate.
Okay. Yes Lord. I submitted to Him.
Two miracles in a minute.
Miracle number one. I was right on the verge of doing something I wouldn’t have...

DON’T LET GO!
“Hear my cry, O God;
Attend to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a shelter for me,
A strong tower from the enemy.
I will abide in Your tabernacle forever;
I will trust in the shelter of Your wings…” Psalm 61:1-4
