By: Gabriela Yareliz These excerpts are taken from chapter 13 in the book, Prayer, by Ellen G. White. We have a God whose ear is not closed to our petitions; and if we prove His word, He will honor our faith.

That which you have not asked for
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was studying today in 1 Kings chapter 3, continuing my trek through the old testament. I was looking at how Solomon is establishing his kingdom after his father’s death. I was impressed by the verse where God asks Solomon what he desires. In verse 5, God says: At Gibeon the LordContinue reading “That which you have not asked for”
Shadow Men
Jason: “Only a God can save us”? Archie: I didn’t say some preacher could. But what a story. Jason: Story? Archie: The Jesus thing. God, the Creator of the universe, becoming a man, suffering worse than any person suffered, suffering an injustice worse than any of us can suffer? Incredible! I forgot that’s what ChristiansContinue reading “Shadow Men”
Going deeper
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes in life, we make the same mistakes over and over again, or the storms keep ripping(figuratively, of course) the limbs off of the trees and all that surrounds us. Sometimes, we worry, and we seek so many things at the same time. It can be overwhelming. Today, I heard Pastor Tony Evans sayContinue reading “Going deeper”
When it feels like you are on ‘pause’
Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz “Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the tune, and not be dismayed at the “rests.” They are not to be slurred over, not to be omitted, not to destroy the melody, not to change the keynote. If we look up, GodContinue reading “When it feels like you are on ‘pause’”
Oswald on prayer…
Found by: Gabriela Yareliz I always appreciate and love his quotes… He is one of those people who encourages us to keep praying. To know that life is like music, and that even when we feel silence– God is still in the “rests,” and that the music would not be the same without the rests.Continue reading “Oswald on prayer…”
When you really want something
By: Gabriela Yareliz I began reading the book of 1 Samuel. It begins with the story of Hannah, the childless woman who wanted a child more than anything. It is a story I have referred to before, because it is one that I really love. During the festivities in Shiloh, she is upset. She won’tContinue reading “When you really want something”
The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality
By: Gabriela Gonzalez Why is it that things like pleasure, beauty and art end up leaving us empty and guilty? I found a fascinating book/play on the topic. It is a short play, a fictional conversation between Oscar Wilde, known for his if it feels good, do it philosophy; Blaise Pascal, the brilliant mathematician, andContinue reading “The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality”

Worthy is the Lamb
By:Gabriela Yareliz I heard a pastor not to long ago talk about who Jesus was. There is much dispute as to who He is. A good man? A good teacher? What He said reminded me of the C.S. Lewis quote: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often sayContinue reading “Worthy is the Lamb”
