Come on a Journey through the Bible with Judy Glasser
Exiled
You may heard this famous verse from Jeremiah, “For I know the plans I have for you, ” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 29:11. What an awesome promise! We love to print it on plaques and hang it on our...
Find the Book
The Book of the Law. Moses' book. God's words. God tells us an encouraging story about King Josiah in 2 Chronicles. King Josiah knew it was time to repair the temple of the Lord so he made it happen. While they were cleaning and fixing the temple, they discovered...
Not Just Lip Service
"You are always on their lips but far from their hearts." says Jeremiah (12:2) as he talks to God. He was talking about the people of Judah..... but is he also describing you and me? Do you talk about God while keeping your heart safely out of his reach? Do...
I Am Becoming
I am 'becoming' something. We are all on the path to 'somewhere'. I decide what I am becoming and where I'm going by my choices each day. I am going one way or another - I'm not standing still. If I'm not doing anything new - not growing - then I am moving backward as...
This is Not Where I Belong
This place is not my home. As I read what God is saying to me in Isaiah, I realize that I am in exile from my real home. Seeing the bold mockery of God this week at the Olympics makes it increasingly clear to me that I am far away from where I belong. Hearing other...
It’s Not a Waste
Sometimes I feel like I've wasted a lot of time today - or last week - or last year. How much time did I waste watching TV? How much time did I waste worrying about tomorrow? Worrying about things that never happened? How much time have I wasted looking at my phone or...
Not Like Me
I am created in the image of God, I am like him. But he is not like me. I have found this to be a crucial truth to get straight in my brain so that I have the correct expectations of God. I have to apply this every day to my relationship with God so I can avoid...
I Want to Go Back
I have days when I want to go back in time. I would gladly go back to anytime before my son, David Glasser, who was a Phoenix Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty. So much was lost when he died. So much has changed. Do you ever want to go back? God speaks to...
He Is With Me
God has spoken to me very clearly for the last 8 years as I read through the Bible every year and I get to Isaiah 43:2 & 3. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you...
It Makes a Difference
My life is short. My life is fragile. My life is a tiny flicker of light that can be extinguished in an instant. I had an incident a couple of years ago where an antelope came out of no where and hit my car as I was driving 75 mph on a rural highway in Wyoming. I saw...
