Getting Real
Meditation Journey Day 22 Hi Friend, What a privilege we have to “find the knowledge of God.” (Proverbs 2:5) Our Father in Heaven invites us to know Him and through that knowledge we begin to truly know ourselves.

The Treasure’s Cost
Meditation Journey Day 16 Hi Friend, Our passage says we are to seek and search for wisdom as for hidden treasures.

Search as for hidden treasure!
Meditation Journey Day 15 Hi Friend, Little words can have major consequences! “…and if”, remember we noticed the three ifs in Proverbs 2:1-5? Now I want us to ponder that twice we have the joining word “and”. As you reflect on any passage always look at every word. None of them are extra or meaningless.…
