Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - How to Avoid Being Grounded - #3866
Right now you may be missing God's best somewhere in your life. There's a relationship you shouldn't be in or a relationship that you've allowed bitterness and resentment to creep into. Maybe you're living a schedule that is neglecting your time with God, or your family priorities, or the rest that God intends us to have. Maybe you're playing around morally, or you're allowing dishonesty to creep into your business practices or your schoolwork. I don't know where you may be out of bounds, but I do know that God will not let you get away with it. He loves you too much to let you keep going on a road that will bring you greater pain and greater judgment.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Calling Daddy to Come - #3875
Daddy came in answer to the cry of one of his children - who called to him on someone else's behalf. Sound familiar? When our daughter told us about our grandson's call, I thought of the word the Bible uses to describe a process like that - intercession. Our grandson had gone to his father on behalf of another person's need. That's exactly what you and I are supposed to be doing for the people we care about - interceding for them with a Heavenly Father who can do for them what we could never do.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The High Cost of Forgetting - #3881
For the most part, there's not much you can do about memory loss - the mental kind, that is. But there is something you can do about spiritual memory loss - because forgetting spiritually can be pretty damaging, too. It was, in fact, one fundamental reason why God's ancient people kept wandering from God, messing up their lives, and suffering God's judgment. And it's one reason we make the same kinds of mistakes.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Building Now What You'll Live in Later - #3905
What you're planting today, you'll be eating in the future - what you're building today, you'll be living in later on. In a very real way, the life you're living right now - the things you love and the things you hate - it's the harvest of the choices you made months or years ago - except you may not have realized at the time you were making your choices. That's why it's so important to realize it now - about the choices you're making at this point in your life!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Dead Coyotes And Soaring Hawks - #3908
I guess whether you see soaring hawks or dead coyotes depends on where you're looking. And some of us have this amazing ability to miss most of the beautiful things going on around us and to only see the ugly things. Some folks see mostly what's right with people and with their situation - others just can't help focusing on what's wrong - the dead coyotes. And it really does depend on where you choose to look - up or down. Because if you're walking through your day close to your Lord, there are always goodnesses to see!

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Major Gifts, Minor Glitches - #3922
I walked away from the barber shop that morning with more than a haircut - I walked away with fresh perspective on the things in our lives that bother us - thanks to a man who saw beyond his aches and pains to the blessing of at least being alive to feel them. Here's how he weighs it out: physical problems - small stuff - being alive - big stuff. That load-lightening perspective is evident in our word for today from the Word of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Music That's Always There - #3931
There's something very compelling about someone who refuses to be taken down by the worst of circumstances, who can still hear God's "music," who can still play God's "music" no matter what. Now, that "music" is a positive attitude -- that quality of "unsinkability" the Bible calls joy -- the "music" is conversation that keeps finding things to thank and praise God for instead of things to complain about.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Making It Happen, Making It Worse - #3981
The story is a mirror for you and me - especially for those of us who have a tendency to be "make it happen" people. You may be there right now - scheming, pushing, manipulating, organizing - doing your best to make sure the "right thing" happens. But when it's not God's time ... when it's not God's way ... when it's not God's will, you're "making it happen" will ultimately make a mess that may take a lifetime - or more - to clean up.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Too Busy for the Beauty - #3995
In our overheated, over scheduled lives, it is so easy to speed right by some things that are too beautiful to miss -- in our surroundings, in our son, our daughter, our grandchild, our mate, in the blessings that God is unfolding right in front of us. And even in hearing the voice of God.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Sleeping Through Your Wakeup Call - #3996
Now, sleeping through a wakeup call from your hotel can lead to serious consequences - like missing something you really can't afford to miss. Sleeping through a wakeup call from God can lead to deadly consequences - like missing the meaning of your life on earth - as well as the heaven we hope to go to when we die.
