Following God; March 11, 2023
2 Kings 17:15 They followed worthless idols and themselves became worthless. I was struck by this wording in the NIV, and when I read the Japanese it was essentially identical. We often say things like, “You are what you eat,” … Continue reading

Righteousness; October 5, 2022
Proverbs 11:6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires. This is one of many ways that God’s rules are good for us. The devil tells us that God’s rules are to hem … Continue reading

Light; September 14, 2022
Psalm 97:11-12 Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name. The turn of phrase in the Japanese grabbed my attention as I … Continue reading

God’s Guidance; August 8, 2022
Psalm 5:8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies– make straight your way before me. It’s interesting how word order in a sentence changes the feel of it, even when it doesn’t change the actual meaning. … Continue reading

God’s Plans; May 19, 2022
Acts 23:11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.” The following two years of imprisonment in Caesarea were doubtless not … Continue reading

God’s Timing; April 26, 2022
Isaiah 49:20 “The children born during your bereavement will yet say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; give us more space to live in.’” We only see the surface of what’s going on. During the centuries … Continue reading

God’s Guidance; December 26, 2021
Matthew 2:12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. This whole story is so extremely familiar that it’s hard to read it with any degree of … Continue reading
