I Live and Breathe for You

   “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when...

Pleasure Forever

   “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” Rev. 4:11

   “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” Coloss...

You Look So Pretty

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For whic...

the Laundry Lady Lesson

“Serve the LORD with gladness…” Psalm 100:2

I have a beloved sister and friend with a background in emergency room nursing who when she left behind her emergency room job due to a medical diagnosis scrubbed people’s toilets and donated the money to my ministry. She didn’t have an ounce of pride, not an iota of complaining nor resistance, that I heard anyway. She considered it an honor and privilege to scrub toilets for Jesus, as she described it. This friend lives in the area that is my first...

Girl Whose Eyes Were Glued to the Sky

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thess. 4:16-17

Once upon a time there was a little girl whose eyes were glued to the sky. Didn’t think eyes can be glued to the sky, fastened so tight they can’t look away, so...

Has Someone BETRAYED You?

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Mt. 6:14-15

A beloved friend and I stood in her kitchen. Actually, I stood. She stood on one foot. The other rested on a scooter because she had broken it. But this didn’t stop her from “standing” with a friend and sister in Christ, so to speak. She had called another beloved sister to stand in faith and love with u...

Update & Prayer Request from Lara

I have now been on the road full-time for the Lord & ministry for nearly a month and remain at a hotel in Virginia with the ministry’s 6 special needs & senior rescued dogs and have had amazing and endless opportunities both at the hotel and elsewhere to do the streets ministry to which I am called which includes as the Lord leads distributing the Gospel tracts and devotionals I write. The hotel with its kind and caring staff has given me a warm and gracious welcome, and I have my laptop and...

Ministry’s Doggy Update

When the Lord gave me the name Walk by Faith Ministry years ago, little did I know that after 20 years of dog rescue He would lead me into ministry on the road full-time with six very special dogs – paralyzed Mr. Simeon and Miss Mercy who walk in wheelchairs, Miss Glory without eyes who walks by faith, Grace who was dumped at a gas station and hit by two cars who has a walking disability due to her broken bone being set without vet care, Abigail who is about 12 and has a bone spur around her...

DO YOU WORSHIP THIS GOD?

   “And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O...

Quit Interrupting Me

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him…And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also…”Mark 1:35-39

I was sitting quietly with my Bible seeking the Lord to speak to me after  studying as I sat in a hallway of the hotel where I am staying now that I’m on the road for the Lord when a man I met the week before sat by me....
