Belong

By Dwayne Hicks | June 30, 2012 |

I remember a song that I used to love to hear and love to sing called: “Home Where I Belong”. B.J. Thomas performed the song. Now that takes me back a few years. The word that jumped in my lap this morning was, belong.  I love having a place to belong too. I love having…

Fair

By Dwayne Hicks | June 29, 2012 |

I remember as a kid trying to explain to my parents that some of their punishments weren’t “fair”.  My brothers or sisters got less than me and it simply wasn’t fair.  That may be the first time I heard the phrase: “Life isn’t always fair!” I decided to look the word “fair” up in the…

Thermometer or Thermostat

By Dwayne Hicks | June 28, 2012 |

I love the word joy and how it is used in the Bible. It is meant to be a state of mind not just a passing emotion.  Paul speaks in the New Testament about rejoicing in the Lord always and being full of joy. Joy is defined in the dictionary as “a feeling of great…

Right

By Dwayne Hicks | June 27, 2012 |

There is a right way and a wrong way. Sometimes there’s a wrong way of doing the right thing.  My Dad used to teach me how important it was to do things right the first time when accomplishing a task or job.  The scripture gives guidance and boundaries for my life journey.  The Word instructs,…

Sing, Sing, Sing!

By Dwayne Hicks | June 26, 2012 |

I love music. I love to sing. I really love to sing songs about God. Singing is about using my voice to make sounds of melodies and string together sentences in a melody.  I’ve enjoyed singing since I was a young kid in Kentucky. My parents loved singing. I’ve grown up with music and singing…

A Call To Worship

By Dwayne Hicks | June 25, 2012 |

Worship is what we give value to and care deeply about. I’ve heard the phrase, “he worships the ground she walks on”. I’ve also been to concerts to see people go crazy over a song about life, love, drinking, leaving, etc…  I believe worship is something I do every day. I choose to give value…

Defender

By Dwayne Hicks | June 24, 2012 |

I’ve heard coaches say “the best offense is a good defense”. I’ve heard it the other way around too.  Defender is someone who defends something or someone.  Defenders are on guard watching for the offensive strategy of the other side. I need defending every day from the tactics of the evil one.  The Psalmist describes…

Majesty

By Dwayne Hicks | June 23, 2012 |

That word brings to my mind words like, royalty, dignity, power, beauty and sovereign. Majesty makes me think of God. He can be described by all those words and many more.  I’ve never seen a king in person. I’ve seen the entourage that comes with them and the “regal fuss” that is made over them.…

Good People

By Dwayne Hicks | June 22, 2012 |

I know a lot of good people. In fact a lot of good people may even read my ramblings and know that I think of them as “good people”.  There is something attractive about good people. They are honest, trustworthy, reliable and dependable. Good people have consistent character.  I must speak to the bottom line….…

Safe

By Dwayne Hicks | June 21, 2012 |

That word carries a lot of meaning behind it.  Safe is defined as “protected from or not exposed to danger or risk; not likely to be harmed or lost”.  I don’t remember feeling scared at night as a child. I do remember being afraid of the dark and things that hide in the darkness. As…
