Rescue & Protect

By Dwayne Hicks | August 14, 2012 |

I love true stories where a rescue happens that saves the lives of others. It is super intense to watch, but I love it when the rescue is successful and lives are saved. I especially think of our military men and women how they rescue one another as well as people they don’t know. They…

Known

By Dwayne Hicks | August 13, 2012 |

There a lots of people who know me. There are a lot of people that know of me. There are a few very close friends that know me very very well.  The Lord knows me best. He knows my thoughts even before I think them. King David penned one of my favorite Psalms and it…

Your Name & Your Word

By Dwayne Hicks | August 12, 2012 |

I’ve given my word with a handshake and made a contract binding. I’ve since learned in business that this kind of “contract”, while honorable will not hold up in court. If you don’t get it in writing you really don’t have anything that is legally binding and enforceable.  I was blessed by the Psalm of…

Captured Heart

By Dwayne Hicks | August 11, 2012 |

At one time the Israelites were captured and taken to another country. They were separated from their families and loved ones. This was a very dark time in their history. The Psalmist speaks to this because their songs had stopped. It’s hard to write a happy song when you’re at the low point of your…

His Love Continues Forever

By Dwayne Hicks | August 10, 2012 |

Just about everything we have in this world will left behind when we pass on. In fact – it is all temporary right down to our bodies.  The things that we can see and touch are temporary to this life. Our eternal life in heaven will have only our spirit. Our body will even be…

Mighty To Save

One of my favorite songs over the past few years is titled, “Might to Save”. The song is a great worship song describing the attributes of God. It is written and recorded by Hillsong United.  http://youtu.be/t5ghKwGEQRA  One of my favorite attributes of God after His love is His power and His strength. He is the…

Raise Your Hand

By Dwayne Hicks | August 8, 2012 |

I remember as a kid raising my hand in class in order to ask a question. I was not allowed just to blurt out the question. I had to raise my hand and be called on by the teacher in order to ask the question.  That gesture is still used in classrooms today. If you…

Family Reunion

By Dwayne Hicks | August 7, 2012 |

I’ve been to family reunions and “get togethers” a lot over the years. My Mom and Dad both have big families. My wife parents are connected to big families as well. I’ve seen family feuds and fusses too. I’ve been to family gatherings where you can cut the tension with a knife.  In fact, I…

Passion For God

By Dwayne Hicks | August 6, 2012 |

I love the journey of King David. He seems so real, honest and sincere. He actually seems human yet has a deep love for the Lord. He also seems to be a relentless pursuit for God’s heart.  I love seeing David’s journey unfold and the Psalms open up much insight into his relationship with the…

Calm & Quiet

By Dwayne Hicks | August 5, 2012 |

When I think of these two words, it usually describes my morning time with the Lord. I like to get up before the rest of the family and soak in some calm and quiet. Often it helps give me perspective on my day that may very well be chaotic and crazy.  I’ve found that spending…
