God's in Control
What’s there to fear?
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV
Have you ever been in a situation you had no idea how it would turn out? It can [...]
Effort or Revelation?
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 NKJV
Have you ever been stuck in needing to know something? There’s a situation happening in your life and you have this unrelenting [...]
Nothing is Impossible for God
And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. Genesis 21:1 NKJV
Sarah who was barren and also in her 80s or 90s had laughed when the Lord told her she would conceive and bear a son. Sometimes God’s promises seem impossible. With God nothing is [...]
Two Reminders
Read Genesis 17.
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” Genesis 17:1-2 NKJV
Change comes from God. As we see in the first verse, [...]
Where’s the Faith Now?
Read Genesis 16.
Previously God had told Abram all the promises He was making with Him. The one about having a son must have really meant a lot to Abram and to Sarai, enough so to take matters into their own hands.
After Sarai was done laughing about her becoming pregnant, she responds with no [...]
Genesis 12 – Faithful
The Lord tells Abram to leave his country, family and father’s house. In return the Lord said he would make Abram a great nation, make his name great and bless him. He also said he was blessing Abram so Abram could bless others. Along with that the Lord said anyone who curses you will be [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Neglecting Our Calling Due to Pride
Read Jonah.
Even godly folks have times of pride. Jonah is another example of what pride can do in our life. He apparently was a godly man, for he heard the call of God. He knew his mission and purpose. Yet, he tried to run away from God. He tried to forget God existed. He stubbornly [...]
What can we give the Lord?
God made the heavens, the earth and everything in them. What can mere humans give back to Him?
We can give Him our attention by reading His word. (Acts 17:11)
We can lay down our burdens before Him. Our worries, cares and stresses do not overwhelm for they are in the His hands. (Matthew 11:28)
We can [...]
Righteousness, Self-Control and Judgment to Come
“Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid.” Acts 24:25 NKJV
As Paul reasoned with Felix, notice what he reasoned about: righteousness, self-control and judgment.
Righteousness
Examining scriptures reveals righteousness doesn’t come from us. Look at Psalm 119:137 NKJV “Righteousness are You, O [...]
Accepting His Will
So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.” Acts 21:14 NKJV
Why is it so hard to accept the will of the Lord? One reason is we can’t understand why pain and suffering are part of the Lord’s will. When we study God’s word, it is pretty [...]
