Pressing toward the goal. That’s the title of this week’s Create in Me a Clean Heart Devotion by Amy Verlennich [download your free copy here]. I had attended a group Bible study just yesterday where we are going through an intense, 10-lesson teaching from First Fruits of Zion called HaYesod. It talked about Torah points us to the end goal – Messiah. So this devotion today was very timely. What is… Continue Reading
Strength! – Clean Heart Journal Week 12
The title of this week’s devotional threw me, again. “Strength to Bring Down the House” brought to mind Proverbs 14:1 – A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. As I kept reading, I realized I was wrong…but oh how appropriate this devotional was this morning! If you aren’t familiar with the story of Samson, read it here. Samson cried out to… Continue Reading

Balance, Martha, Balance – Clean Heart Journal – Week 10

And the take-away for me was about balance. [Want to join in on the Create in Me a Clean Heart Devotional and Journal?

A Beautiful Dwelling Place – The Heart and Home Connection
I have to confess that I dropped the ball last week with this series. Life just happened, and I didn’t get my weekly journal entry posted – because I didn’t do the devotional. Honestly, I can’t even remember what happened, it just didn’t get done. This whole Being More Disciplined thing isn’t easy sometimes. It goes against my “natural tendencies,” it seems. What’s more, I intended to write a series… Continue Reading
