When God’s “No” is as Good as His “Yes”
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.” (2 Kings 20:1 NIV) In a singing contest where kidsContinueContinue reading “When God’s “No” is as Good as His “Yes””
It’s Worthwhile
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT) I’ve never known anyone who served God and didn’t think that it was worthwhile. The Corinthian Christians were aware of this fact.ContinueContinue reading “It’s Worthwhile”
A Message for You
The men with Saul stood there speechless. They had heard the voice, but they had not seen anyone. (Acts 9:7 CEV) When Saul, also known as Paul, retold his Damascus Road experience later on, he didn’t cease to mention that “The men who were traveling with me saw the light, but did not hear theContinueContinue reading “A Message for You”
Alone With God

Liked from Afar
No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. (Acts 5:13 NIV) In Acts chapter 5, we learn that sometimes people won’t join your circle not because they don’t like you, but because they’re afraid of what a relationship with you will cost them. After Peter called out AnaniasContinueContinue reading “Liked from Afar”
He is Touched by Your Faith!
While people were crowding and pressing against Him, Jesus stopped and asked the question, “Who touched me?” (Luke 8:45). Then Peter jumped in with his two cents, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you” (v.45). But Jesus wasn’t referring to just any touch, so He explained, “Someone touched me; I know that powerContinueContinue reading “He is Touched by Your Faith!”
Be Still
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10 NIV) Other versions put it this way: “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God.” (GW) “Cease striving and know that I am God.” (NASB) Being still means to come to Him, let go of whatever it isContinueContinue reading “Be Still”
No Empty Words
“The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.
