Insights & Studies
In the following studies I share my own personal insights and revelations from the Word of God. These thoughts are not intended as theological expositions, but rather are designed to encourage participation in a journey of devotion.
Each study is intended to take us closer to the heavenly author and the thoughts and intent of His heart.
At the conclusion, the reader is encouraged to reflect on what has been shared. While reading provides us with information, it is contemplation that changes what we read into a revelation we can experience and embrace.
Often a prayer prompt is also included at the end. This is a conversation starter rather than a set prayer. Only we can give true expression to what is in our heart, and it is our heart that the Lord wants to hear.

One Thing
One thing is needed. It is not an optional extra, a perk for the wealthy, or a bonus for the retired. …It is the anchor we hold to in a hectic world, the strength we draw on when we have nothing more to give, and the peace that we feed off when demands mount and emotions fracture.
Choosing the Good Part
Jesus said of Mary that she chose the good part. It was not given to her, forced upon her, or demanded of her. She simply chose. That is the nature of the “good part.” It must be chosen, for it is easily overlooked, often missed, and frequently crowded out by other things.
Waste or Worship
Worship has a focus. It is centred on His heart, not our reputation or fame. Whether we are known is in His hands. Whether we are willing to break open what we hold, and pour out our lives in worship, is our choice.
