And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. Genesis 8:11 Noah was waiting patiently for the flood waters to subside and for the earth to reveal itself once again. Mountain peaks would be the first to be seen and after that, the… Continue reading The Olive Leaf
Author: Carolyn Dawson
I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer. My first book - aptly named 'The Narrow Path' will be published in September 2024. I live in Northern Ireland and when I get the opportunity, I love to travel.
Can’t Keep Quiet
For we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard. Acts 4:20 It is almost impossible to keep exciting news to yourself. “I got the job!” “We got the house!” “I’ve been accepted.” “We’re engaged!” “I lost 3lbs this week!” (Because sometimes it’s the little things). Maybe it’s a cause that you feel… Continue reading Can’t Keep Quiet
Check In For A Check Up
From time to time we need to take stock or where we are and re-evaluate the path we are following.
Seeking the Attributes of Heaven
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1 Once we come to faith in Christ there is a shift in how we look at the world. A kind of realignment takes place in our heart and mind… Continue reading Seeking the Attributes of Heaven
His Voice
The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. Psalm 29:4 Taking time each morning to listen for the voice of the Lord will enrich your soul and strengthen you for the day ahead. Psalm 68 says, ‘to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; behold,… Continue reading His Voice
Don’t Give Up
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 Sow thoughtfully and continue to be a doer, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Everything we do matters and every choice we make changes… Continue reading Don’t Give Up
Be a Doer
A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Proverbs 10:4 The bible points out the dangers involved when we make a lifestyle out of idleness and laziness. The apostle Paul was a great advocate of working with your hands so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent… Continue reading Be a Doer
Active Faith
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 The apostle Paul uses the term ‘walk’ quite a lot in his writing; walk in faith, walk in the Spirit, walk in love, walk as children of light, walk in newness of life.… Continue reading Active Faith
Beautiful Fragrance
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 2 Corinthians 2:14 The sweet smell of incense on the altar was commanded by God. Over and over, we read in Exodus of the spices for the anointing oil… Continue reading Beautiful Fragrance
Guiding Light
The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22 The eyes are such an amazing part of the body with each one having over one million light-sensitive cells. They want to pull in as much light as possible in order… Continue reading Guiding Light
