Here’s a devotional I wrote for another blog called God is Love. I’m a monthly contributor (2nd Monday each month). For February I wrote one called Rejected Love. Click the link to read my thoughts about this time of year. I’ll see you later. Wade

Be Still to Exalt
Exalt is a word we rarely use in today’s culture. Probably because we don’t have much to exalt. Just to be sure we all know what is being discussed here I looked up the definition, like any good Webster would do. Among the definitions is: raise in rank or power; praise highly; make lofty or… Continue reading Be Still to Exalt
Grant Me Favor
Nehemiah approached the group of dusty men. “How are things in Jerusalem, brothers?” Hanani placed a hand on Nehemiah’s shoulder. “The folks are back from exile but they’re having a hard time. The walls of the old city are broken down. The gates are burned. It’s a mess.” Nehemiah’s eyes filled with tears as the… Continue reading Grant Me Favor
WE HAVE SINNED
“Seventy years…” Daniel sat back and rolled up the scroll. “Let’s see, I was just a kid when we came to Babylon. Now I’m…it can’t be. Have we changed? LORD, I hope so. Please!” He paced on the roof of his house missing the noon meal while he contemplated what needed to be done. Going… Continue reading WE HAVE SINNED
Who Are You?
Job picked up another pottery shard and scraped more dead skin off his leg. His friend ended his suggestion as to why Job found himself in this condition. Job shook his head. “What good is your nonsense to me now. I know as much as you do. God is doing as He pleases. He doesn’t… Continue reading Who Are You?
Look At This
Hezekiah paced in his palace. “How much longer are we going to be stuck inside these city walls?” A knock on the door caught his attention. The door opened slowly. Eliakim stood in the doorway. “Sir, there’s a message from Sennacherib.” The king stared at him. “Is it from the Rabshakeh again?” “No, he sent… Continue reading Look At This
An Earnest Plea
Isaiah paused before he pushed the palace door open and looked up. “Why, LORD? He’s such a good king.” He walked in and was led to the king’s bedroom. Hezekiah’s face was pale. Sweat drenched his hair as he shivered. Isaiah swallowed. “Set your affairs in order. The LORD declares that you shall die from… Continue reading An Earnest Plea
Called to Fail
Where am I? Who is that sitting on a throne? His robe is incredible. It’s filling every part of the floor. Those beings over the throne…who are they? Why do they have wings…six wings on each one? They’re using two to fly with, but why are they covering their face and feet? The seraphim spoke… Continue reading Called to Fail
Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
Jonah awoke with a sharp pain on his leg. He reached down and groped his right shin. He pealed off what must have been a section of octopus tentacle. “Lord, how much longer must I suffer like this? I’m sorry for running. I know it was foolish of me. Nobody can win against You. Please… Continue reading Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
Man Overboard
“Tarshish? Yeah, we’re going to Tarshish. What you need us to take there for ya?” “Just me.” Jonah watched the crew loading crates below deck. The captain looked at Jonah’s small pack. “You sure do travel light. You have family in Tarshish?” Jonah shook his head. “No. Just been hankering to visit that fine city.… Continue reading Man Overboard
