Don’t Be like King Asa

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Don’t Be like King Asa

I have been reading, reading, and reading. With no digital access to any of my study materials, I don’t have much choice but to just read the text and let God speak to me. As I was working through the Old Testament, I came to 2 Chronicles 14 and the...

Recharge

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Recharge

Suppose you are or have been going through a hard time and have been very discouraged lately. Maybe you’ve felt a sense of loss, pity, depression, anxiety, worry, or just a very heavy burdened pressure. Have you felt impatient or frustrated? Have you...

The Only Way Up is Down

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on The Only Way Up is Down

I was recently listening to a song, and part of the lyrics in the song were “the only way up is down”. I have heard that particular song many times over again, but for some reason those lyrics stuck out to me and created a deeper meaning for me. One...

Treasured Obedience

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Treasured Obedience

John 14:15 says, “If you love Me, keep my commandments.” What do you think this verse means? God desires obedience. When we are obedient, He feels loved and valued. We cannot simply say that we love God if we do not show Him. God desires to feel valued...

The Power of God’s Love

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on The Power of God’s Love

Piercing Light

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Piercing Light

Taking this picture, I did not realize the significance and meaning that I would later see. It looks like a simple picture of somewhat stormy clouds. In my imagination I see something much deeper than just some stormy clouds. I’m always fascinated...

Starting Your Day in a Positive Way

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Starting Your Day in a Positive Way

I am reminded of Yah’s beautiful, wondrous nature once again as I lay awake in the early hours of the morning. My intention of getting up extra early was to work on a research paper and try to get my schoolwork finished for the year. Yahweh apparently...

The Struggle – Spiritual Gifts

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on The Struggle – Spiritual Gifts

As I was pondering on what topic to write about, I had a bunch of jumbled up thoughts and ideas of what to write, but nothing became clear as to exactly which one to choose. I began asking The Father what He wanted me to write, and I felt in my spirit...
