Wisdom and Truth Minute: Day 101

Thanking Him Every Second

Psalm 119:10

Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.

God is the author and finisher of our faith. Each new day is a gift from Him, because He owns it. In Him, we live and move, and have our being. We couldn’t exist without him, because he holds all things together. People – if all this is true, then it is true every second of the day. And, it is indeed true.

Therefore, it stands to reason we should thank Him all day, every day. “Lord, with my whole heart have I sought you. O, let me not wander from your commandments” (Psalm 119:10).

Wisdom and Truth Minute: Day 88

God is our Dwelling Place

Psalm 90

Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.

“Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God” (Psalm 90:1-2).

Often, we get so caught up in our day-to-day existence in this life, we forget that there is so much more. God inhabits eternity, and that is our destiny. Our whole lives are wrapped up in him, and when this life is over, we will be with Him forever. Now that is encouraging.

Wisdom and Truth Minute: Day 87

Short Lives

James 4:14

Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.

At certain times of the year, in the early morning, there is a dew that appears on the grass. Then the sun arises and the dew evaporates very quickly. James says, “Our life is even a vapor that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).

Against the backdrop of eternity, our lives are really very short. We need  to make them count for more than just this life. In Psalm 90:12, we find this encouraging prayer, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.” Make today count, my friend, as though eternity depended on it. May you have  beautiful day, too.

Wisdom and Truth Minute: Day 76

When Life Ends

Hebrews 9:27

Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.

While worshipping the Lord on the banks of the White River near Mount Rainier, Washington, I considered the direction of the flow. Always moving in one direction. God has designed time that way, too. Always, the rivers of time flow in one direction. Eventually, the bluish-white waters of the White River will find themselves in the Pacific Ocean.

When you arrive at the confluence of life and eternity, where will you find yourself?

Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed unto men once to die; but after this, the judgement.”
