Remember Who God Is
When we experience trials, it is easy to start looking at the trials and forget that God is working in our lives. He grows our faith in Him through our dependance on Him. He delights in fulfilling His promises to us and showing us His love. We just have to see it. Through His word,…
Read MoreHe Will Rejoice Over You
The LORD your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy. Zephaniah 3:17 The thought of Jehovah God rejoicing over us! Oh how He loves us. He takes care of us, He…
Read MoreNothing Can Separate Us!
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly…
Read MoreEyes on Jesus
Matthew 14:22-23 22 Immediately He [a]made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. 24…
Read MoreVictory in Jesus
…but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (Mark 4:19) This verse tells us three things that keep us from victory, from being fruitful. These are things that “choke” the word. The word even warns us…

Read MoreDon’t Be Deceived
I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to…
Read MoreThe Power of God’s Word
Hebrews 4:12 – For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. How often do we forget the power of God’s…
Read MoreWithout Faith
Without faith, it is impossible to please Him. Hebrews 11:6 … Yet, I often find myself not practicing faith in the One who is faithful. I even try to excuse it, and even worse, I sometimes decide to do things my own way to “help God out.” That is faithlessness – and that is not…
Read MoreThe World vs. God
The world says be proud of yourself. God says, Pride goeth before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 The world says, stand on your own two feet. God says, Some boast in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God. Psalm 20:7…
