The Sanctuary of Hope Devotions

Five More Minutes

What if you only had Five more minutes To walk upon this earth What would fill your schedule What would come to mind What would be their worth Who can say what span of time For each one yet remains Seconds spent are they divine Moments cannot be reclaimed What if you only had Five more minutes What would remain in your heart What would be there in it When your time to depart Would they be spent for Jesus Or squandered selfishly In slavery or freedom How would those moments be

Sit, Watch and Wait for the Lord

Recently I was preparing a word for the youth and I was reading in Mark 14: 32-40: 32 They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, “Sit here while I go and pray.” 33 He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed. 34 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death.

Since we both worked, if it got rained out on Monday, we just had to forfeit our tickets. My husband would subscribe to the Indianapolis Star for the special month of May race issues. It listed all the drivers and their cars. Underneath the Newspaper name was the scripture that r

Take Up Your Cross

Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23 I have heard this scripture many times.
