Help!

By Dwayne Hicks | July 9, 2012 |

This is probably the simplest prayer that I’ve prayed. There have been times of desperation in my life where I wasn’t even sure how to pray. I simply needed help. David was obviously facing one of those times when he penned the words to this Psalm. Check this out…  26 Lord my God, help me;      …

Steady

That terms speaks to me about consistency and level-headedness.  It is defined as: firmly fixed, supported, or balanced; not shaking or moving sensible, reliable, and self-restrained; regular, even, and continuous in development, frequency, or intensity.

Think & Thanks

Forget

I think the older I get the more things slip my mind. I have this handy little app called Evernote and I try to put notes in there to remind me of the checklist of things I need to do. I also have a great calendar app to help me remember appointments and special events…

When the Jones family moved into their new house, a visiting relative asked five-year-old Sammy how he liked the new place. “It’s terrific,” he said. “I have my own room, Mike has his own room, and Jamie has her own room.

This word jumps out to me as an attribute of God. It means, to rely upon or be controlled or determined by someone or something.  As I read scripture, I’m reminded that this is fundamental to my journey with the Lord. I must learn to depend more on Him or guidance and provision. He is…

PTL!

By Dwayne Hicks | July 4, 2012 |

I remember when the PTL club was in it’s “hay day” taking donations from people in the name of the Lord and lavishly spending on themselves. It was a huge embarrassment to the church and put TV preachers is such a bad light. In fact people quit using the acronym, PTL.  I think it’s a…

R & P

Remain

That word carries a lot of meaning at so many levels. It can mean to stay steady when others are not; leftover; staying put in a particular place. I think of this word a positive word. It speaks to me about consistency and steadiness.  As I read Psalm 102, my thoughts of the Lord were…
