Romans 8:32 Trusting God
Surely you, like myself, have prayed for God to resolve an issue, or provide for an urgent need. You wait and wait, but God doesn’t seem to hear you; OR-the situation gets even worse. We wonder; “Is God selective in whose prayers He responds to?” Scripture reminds us why we must persevere, trust, and remember what God has already done for us. “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us…
Psalm 32:1-2 Not Guilty
Not one person can honestly claim to being sinless. Anyone however, can know he/she has been totally forgiven for all their wrongs. Anyone that is, who has confessed their wrongs to Jesus and believes He has paid the price for all their sins. Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.Psalm 32:1-2 ESV_____________________________________________
A Fragrant Aroma 2 Corinthians 2:15
If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you have the privilege and opportunity to impact the lives of both your fellow Christians, the yet unsaved, as well as the customers you serve at work. I have come to believe that our jobs are actually a calling and have meaning far exceeding mere financial compensation. “For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.” 2Corinthians…
Strength In God 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
I daily feel the effects of aging in my body. I know it’s normal but as I think about the future and the challenges and obligations I will certainly face, I think; “I can’t do it”. I’m certain life will only get harder, not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. I remind myself often of God’s words to Paul, the apostle, who had similar thoughts. “And He (God) said to me; ‘My grace is sufficient…
Time To Say Yes To God
I’ve heard and read the Christmas Story countless times. This year, the responses of the key players in the story; Mary, Joseph, the shepherds; speak loudly to me.Mary, after being told by the angel Gabriel she would be the mother of Jesus, asked; “How will this be?” (Luke 1:34) When the angel Gabriel explained, Mary answered; “May your word to me be fulfilled.” (Luke 1:38)After Joseph had the dream in which the same angel told him not…
A Holy Gathering Matthew 18:19-20
One of the greatest benefits of being part of the family of God is the opportunity to be a part of a small group which meets weekly for Bible study and prayer. These gatherings provide a place where the pressures of life can be shared and lifted up to our Father in heaven, confidently expecting His perfect answer. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it…
The Truth Isaiah 55:11
Too many of us think it’s our job to convince people of what is true according to God’s word. Actually, God’s word (the TRUTH) is powerful enough to reveal itself. Our job isn’t to convince, it’s merely too speak – confidently, calmly and lovingly – trust the Holy Spirit. Jesus left behind Him only a dozen men to spread His word and look what happened. so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it…
