The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. (Ps 97:1)
If Israel rejoiced to know that God reigns, how much more should we? They had only the promise of salvation; we have the blessed fact of it. They had the Temple; we have the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Thank you, Lord!

Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. - Psalm 119:89
Welcome
In October 2008 I embarked on the One on One with God study with several of my brothers in Christ. The goal of this study is to become both a true disciple and a disciple maker, in accordance with the Great Commission given to us by Jesus (Mt 28:18-20). Through the practical wisdom of One on One with God I have been able for the first time to sustain a daily quiet time that balances prayer, Bible study, meditation and journaling.
As I began recording my meditations on Scripture the thought took hold of me that I should share some of these with my friends and fellow Christians. I have created this blog for that purpose. It is "occasional" because the frequency of posts will vary as I find meditations suitable to share with others. I hope these words will bless you by pointing you to the wonderful truths of Scripture, which God has given for our encouragement and edification.
Unless otherwise noted all Scripture quotations are taken from the New International Version of the Bible.
