Could you do it

"Test me, LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind;" Psalm 26:2. Sometimes I will read through the Psalms and try to make it like a prayer, but when I come to verse one, and verse two which is mentioned above, it is a tough pill to swallow. Often times I hesitate, because I know that I am not perfect, I make mistakes every single day. I know that in the past I have done things with the wrong intent. It is only because of Christ that my sins are forgiven by God. It is only by Christ that [...]

Everything

Greg Hill2020-10-08T00:42:12+00:00

"I love you, LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:1-2. When we begin to think about all that God has done for us, and just exactly Who He is to us, we cannot list everything. God Himself is our strength, He is our Rock, our fortress, our deliverer, He is the One we take refuge in, He is the horn of our salvation, He is our stronghold, and on top of that He [...]

Anniversaries

Greg Hill2020-09-07T02:17:35+00:00

There are all kinds of anniversaries, both pleasant and not so much. There are wedding anniversaries, some people celebrate job anniversaries. Then there are other anniversaries, some that bring up both pleasant and not so pleasant feelings. Today marks exactly one month since my dog passed away. Even though I miss scratching behind his ears and hearing his own unique bark, I know that he is no longer suffering. I know that he is in the presence of the Lord being rewarded for all that he did for me during his twelve years on earth. Yet, even though I miss him, [...]

When the answer is “not yet”

Greg Hill2020-09-06T02:58:33+00:00

A lot of people have a tendency to say that unless God does what you ask when you ask or soon thereafter, then He did not answer your prayer. For instance if Joe prayed for a raise to be able to do what he believed God wanted him to do, but that raise did not come for a while, then somebody might say that God didn't answer Joe's prayer. This is not the case, God could have wanted to provide a different way and so His answer to Joe was "no" to the raise. Or, God's answer to Joe could have [...]

The man I want to be

Greg Hill2020-08-31T02:31:30+00:00

Since I had surgery on my arm I've had a night with almost no sleep, a night with good sleep, and last night which was a bit of both. Last night wasn't all that bad though. In the quiet of the night I was able to think well and pray about something that I had been thinking a little bit on over the past week. I love archery, I would like to make a career of it, but at the same time, when I get back to it, I don't want to be so focused on it that I quit focusing [...]

Blessings in the broken pieces

Greg Hill2020-08-22T01:52:37+00:00

Zach Williams has a song out called, "There was Jesus" and part of the lyrics go, "Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces". Well those lyrics are rather true for me right now. I fractured my radius and ulna this afternoon, yet, despite the pain, I couldn't help but say, "Thank you Lord that I have a good vehicle to get to the hospital in." "Thank you Lord that it was me and not someone else having to go through it right then (as in other family members or friends)". "Thank you Lord that if it had to happen that [...]

Today is Father's day as you all know and I am very thankful for my father and grandfather. I couldn't have asked for any better because I know that God gave me the family that He wanted me to have. I know that I am always loved and that I have always been taken care of. There are many people though that have not had a good father figure or any real type of father figure. This is why God says that He would be a father to the orphan, so that all people can have a loving Father spiritually even [...]
