A break
Hi! I hope all of you are well as you press on in God. It amazes me to think that I have been writing this blog for the past eight months—with nearly 190 posts! And the more I write, the more I realize that I’ve hardly scratched the surface of His infinite, intricate wisdom. He is so vast and immeasurable, yet He has chosen to dwell among us and call us His own through His Son Jesus Christ. The more I gaze at Him, the more humungous He is to me and the smaller I become to myself. But that’s not a bad thing—first, because it’s true; and second, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. The majestic God of the universe delights in me—little, speck-of-dust me—and masterminded the most significant turning point of the ages to conquer sin, Satan, and the grave on my behalf. Wow! And He did the same for you. Bask in it. Rejoice heartily because of it!
I will be taking a three-week break from the website. In my absence, I’m leaving some sites I visit frequently. (Yes, I was a school teacher; these are sub plans.) The links are various daily devotionals from different denominations and perspectives. I have found gems on each site.
Some of the sites have advertising; I do not endorse everything on these sites, including the ads. Nor do I necessarily agree with everything I read in each entry. However, I believe that you, my readers, have discernment, Bible understanding, and wisdom sufficient to “have as much sense as an old cow—eat the hay and spit out the stubble.”
I plan to return to active duty on this site on Monday, March 3, by the grace of God. Until then, may you be blessed as you continue to persist in faith, devouring the Word, and seeking the face of God.

- Here’s one I’m adding on February 20. It’s the World Challenge site, founded by David Wilkerson (of Cross and the Switchblade fame). To get to the devotional, find SERMONS in the headings across the top, and scroll down to DEVOTIONS and click. The daily devotional will pop up—sometimes it’s an archive writing by David W. (who passed away in 2011), and at other times the devotion is written by his son Gary (a wonderful man of God) or another minister. Here’s the link: http://sermons.worldchallenge.org/en/view/devotions (Just tried it—looks like you won’t need to follow the prompts to get to the devotion! Yippee!)
- And if you want, you can always scroll back and check the archives right here at www.FirstOfAllPray.com. And remember to check back with me on Monday, March 3!
See you in March!
