Category: Devotions

At times my heart is pricked either by a scripture, a biblical worldview or a life experience. When that happens I write. Here you will find essays and devotions that highlight spiritual insights and musings.

Sacred Visit

October 28, 2020November 1, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Who Gideon is or is not disappears beneath the torrent of who God says he is, above and beyond every status, label and brand of person we could think of or relate to; Gideon is a valiant warrior because God calls him that.

Immanuel Redefined

September 21, 2020September 25, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

He isn't afraid of your losses and your failures, he isn't in it for the win, for the land, for the promise, he is in it for you. He wants to be with you.

A Different Spirit – Part 3 of 3

September 18, 2020September 25, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Should we readily apply Paul’s teaching to the most heinous sinful city to mature, God fearing Christians disciples today simply because they are “women” living today?

Women

September 18, 2020May 1, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

The word of God exalts females who serve God and obey his word. God doesn’t look upon the outward but the inner parts of mankind, the heart, the heart which has no sex organs. Right?

A Different Spirit – Part 1 of 3

In the midst of a patriarchal ruled people and a male dominated nation, Caleb raised his daughter to speak up to be an influencer.

Fire Before Peace

September 8, 2020September 21, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

The smoke and fire is not the end, it is the beginning. Not ruin but hope, not his absence but his presence.

What is Good?

June 19, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Photo by Lukas on Pexels.com If God is all powerful and all good why does he allow people to suffer? Pain and suffering doesn’t prove there is no God or that God is not powerful and good,  it only proves that God allows painful things to happen.  The question here is what is good? God the … Continue reading What is Good?

Anchor to the Anchor

May 19, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Photo by eberhard grossgasteiger on Pexels.com All the strength, training, wealth and education that one could acquire is not enough to stand against an avalanche. According to national geographic, "A large, fully developed avalanche can weigh as much as a million tons. It can travel faster than 320 kilometers per hour (200 miles per hour). Avalanches occur as layers in a … Continue reading Anchor to the Anchor

A Coming of Age Story |  Kim Blenkhorn 

A Coming of Age Story |  Kim Blenkhorn 

Chris was my first love. I was 6. Our relationship was innocent, hauntingly delicate and charming in its own way. His mother married my father. I was a visitor on the weekends and he was a full time resident. He was my first kiss,  In the basement under the watchful eyes of three curious older […]

Revealed – Part II | I Samuel 16

Revealed –  Part II | I Samuel 16

God chooses a King after his own Heart. David is revealed.  Saul’s character is fully matured. Saul is Revealed.  David is the anointed king in the midst of his brothers. This small detail is significant. David is a type of Messiah, being the predecessor to Jesus, as the Son of David. The scene is dramatic. […]

The  Room of Important Things 

The  Room of Important Things 

That room containing all the versions of myself in fragments of stuff sits there untouched week after week. Silent, waiting. looming over me like a giant to do list that I can never complete. How do I organize it, I asked ChatGBT. ” you don’t have an organization problem you have a decision problem.” it flaunted.

Revealed – Part 1 | 1 Samuel 16

Revealed – Part 1 | 1 Samuel 16

Samuel grieves. He fears. He makes assumptions. Samuel is profoundly human. Yes, even Samuel the prophet the man whose words never fell to the ground- what a relief.  I want to sit with Samuel for a moment because it’s easy to forget that the great heroes of Scripture were not immune to disappointment or even […]

1 Samuel 15 | Called and Tested 

1 Samuel 15 | Called and Tested 

God’s initial call often aligns with a person’s natural abilities or desires (what they can and want to do). Over time he tests not their ability but their heart. The test reveals the heart by demanding surrender in the very area where self-will is strongest. This test works to deepen relationship and intimacy with God. […]
