As believers in Christ, we should never be satisfied to think we have reached some self-proclaimed pinnacle of spiritual success, rather continue to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2Peter3:18). Jesus reminds us in John15:16 that He chose us to “go and bear fruit.” The result of healthy […]
“…you may be sure that your sin will find you out”– Numbers 32:23 Old wrongs have a way of catching up with us. And old sins that have not been dealt with can lead to serious consequences. As David laments in Psalm 32 “when I kept silent, my bones wasted away”. But confessing our wrong […]
While Jesus was literally in the same boat as His disciples, He was unconcerned about the weather. As the all-powerful Creator, He had no fear of a storm. “He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm” (Matt8:26). We are not all-powerful so what are we to do when […]
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength…” — Isa40:31 In His time and ways, God can renew our strength. By His Spirit, He can enable us to rise up on “wings like eagles” or to “run and not grow weary, (to) walk and not be faint”. Lord, forgive us for the […]
When Joshua faced Jericho it felt like an impossible situation (Joshua5:13 – 6:5) however, he stopped to listen to God and to worship Him. Then He obeyed God’s instructions and the impossible happened. Dear Lord, often when I am faced with an impossible situation I choose worry rather than trust. Help me to trust You […]
We may have fears when God calls us to do something for Him. But His encouragement to Moses can also spur us on “Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say” (Exo4:12). What God calls you, do not be afraid of trembling and wobbling knees, for He will be […]
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” — Gal6:9 We at times find ourselves determined to reach out and help someone we know who is in great need. But when we fail to see improvement right away, our […]
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His Will, He hears us” (1John5:14) God is always accessible, for He never slumber nor sleeps! (Ps121:4). And thanks for His love for us, He is waiting and ready to listen. Lord, thank you for desiring communication with me […]
Throughout scripture, wisdom is celebrated as a treasure that is worth seeking. It is better than riches (Prov3:13-18). It’s source is God, who alone is perfectly wise (Rom16:27). And it is found in the actions and attitude of Jesus, in whom “all the treasures of wisdom” are found (Col2:3). Wisdom comes from reading and applying […]
Matthew’s gospel says that the leper came and approached Jesus in worship, with trust in His power and with humility, acknowledging that the choice to help belonged to Jesus. He said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean” (Matt8:2). In compassion, Jesus touched him and he was cleansed immediately. Like the leper, […]
