Spending time with God and listening to and reading His Words is often all we need in this chaotic world.
Life’s hard places are often where we best experience revelations, so enter with courage and expectancy knowing God wants to deepen our friendship with Him.
Our thoughts about God the Father matter. If they’re not based on truth, we develop a skewed understanding of who He is and His role in our lives.
Let’s ask God to open our eyes to the wonders He’s created. Let’s stand in awe of who He is and marvel that He loves us and wants a relationship with us.
2,000 years after He walked the earth, Jesus is considered the greatest Teacher. It makes sense to look to Him and His teachings to learn how to live well.
Fasting draws us into deeper intimacy with our Lord. If we want to make the most of it, then let’s know why we’re fasting and be specific in our prayers.
God is the ultimate parent who has ultimate authority. I just need to align my heart, mind, and soul with God’s plan and God’s way ~ not my own.
This God whose strength supersedes anything we can imagine is the same God who holds us in His hand. He cradles us when we’re lonely or afraid or discouraged.
Consider this strategy when someone’s hurt you deeply: pray for them. Doing so is akin to donning protective armor against anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness.
God is good not only when life is good. He’s good all the time. Even when life stinks. Even when the furnace dies in winter.
Whatever questions we ask, we can rest assured that God hasn’t left us to answer them on our own. He’s promised to guide, advise, and lead us.
We, too, can worship the Beloved with a kiss, figuratively speaking. We can breathe words of prayer to thank Him for keeping His promises.
At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus as the Savior who came as a helpless baby. But let’s also celebrate Him as the One who gives us rest when we’re tired.
“God is with us.” What an amazing declaration! These four words have the power to change everything for us when we live from their truth.
Our thoughts about God are the most important thing about us, so let’s strive to ensure they are based on truth. Anything less would be to deny His nature.
Jesus alone is our Anchor in life’s storms. Let’s hang on tightly to Him so that His sweet presence will draw us from darkness into the light of hope.
Giving thanks shifts our focus from our circumstances to the God who rules over them. It sets our mind to rest and frees us to see what God does on our behalf.
God is all about our becoming new creatures, and that happens when He changes our minds, bringing our thoughts into alignment with His.
God knows our need to see love in action. He showed how much He loved us by sending Jesus into the world to live among mankind and die on our behalf.
Pride, envy, jealousy, misplaced priorities ~ they’re all unwanted chains. But Jesus came to snap them. Are you living from that truth today?
When we seek God’s forgiveness for wrong attitudes and behaviors, He cleanses us from our sin. He sees us not for who we were and the mistakes we made.
What is God’s love language? It’s said that God’s love language is obedience. He feels most loved by us when we do what He says.
The Holy Spirit knows exactly what we need to live holy, fruitful lives. From the abundance of His limitless resources, He sees to it that our needs are met.
Know that God sees you. You are not alone. Invite Him to meet you at your deepest point of need and to reveal Himself to you in this place.
The only thing that satisfies our deepest needs – our relationship with our Creator. He is what our soul longs for, and we’re designed for intimacy with Him.
Obeying the Lord might feel really difficult at times, but He deserves our reverent, immediate, and wholehearted yes because of who He is.
No matter what our needs are, we can find a biblical promise that applies to it. Based on the certainty of that promise, we can find courage.
Whatever Your situation, know that God’s quietly at work behind-the-scenes. When the time is right for His grand purpose to be fulfilled, He will take action.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle that accompanies this season, let’s remember what Christmas celebrates: Emmanuel – God with us.
Have you said yes impulsively to albeit good opportunities without asking God for His direction first only to fail to follow through?
Proverbs 19:21 says, “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.” This is why its important to talk with God before making decisions.
Loving relationships, comfortable circumstances, and possessions are gifts meant to be enjoyed, but not meant to become our security and satisfaction in life.
The more we love and trust Him, the more we hear His voice, and the more willing we are to follow wherever He leads even when it doesn’t appear to make sense.
Our prayers needn’t be long and sprinkled with big words in order for God to listen. God hears and answers even the briefest cries for help.
God never shirks His responsibility toward us. What He says He’ll do, He will do. He is completely trustworthy. We can put our hope and trust in His word.
Delve into His Word, develop ongoing communication with Him, and allow His Spirit to fill and control you, and you’ll reap wisdom.
If God is who He says He is, and if His promises are true, and if He never fails to fulfill them – why do we worry or assume the worst?
