Tell the righteous it will be well with them. (Isaiah 3:10 NIV) The children at church were all gladly singing “Jesus in My Life,” when one of the older kids stopped to ask, “What if everything is not OK?” “Well, what does the song say?” the teacher asked. “Everything’s Ok and everything’s alright ‘cos IContinueContinue reading “Everything’s OK”

Identifying with the Offering
Lay your hand on the animal’s head, and the LORD will accept its death in your place to purify you, making you right with him. (Leviticus 1:4 NLT) By laying their hand on the head of the animal, the ancient Israelites identified themselves with the animal whose death would be accepted as atonement for them.ContinueContinue reading “Identifying with the Offering”
Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe
A synagogue ruler by the name of Jairus went to get Jesus because his twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Not long after, some men came from the house and told him not to bother Jesus because the girl had died. Jesus ignored them, told Jairus to believe and continued on his way. “When they came toContinueContinue reading “Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe”
Don’t Let It Get in the Way

He Cares, Do You Believe?
Jesus was in the back of the boat with his head on a pillow, and he was asleep. His disciples woke him and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re about to drown?” (Mark 4:38 CEV) It amazes me how the disciples could ask Jesus this question when Mark clearly tells us that Jesus wasContinueContinue reading “He Cares, Do You Believe?”

Never Stop Believing and Expecting
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned thatContinueContinue reading “Never Stop Believing and Expecting”
Do What God Says
The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. (Genesis 12:1 NLT) Like Abram, there was a time when I was called to take a step of faith. Although I was grateful that God wasn’t asking me toContinueContinue reading “Do What God Says”
Believe
Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.” The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the manContinueContinue reading “Believe”
Your Fate Is Sealed By God, Not People
A stone slab was placed over the opening of the den. The king sealed the cover with his signet ring and the signet rings of all his nobles, fixing Daniel’s fate. (Daniel 6:17 MSG) There’s an interesting statement that is stated differently in Daniel chapter 6: the law of the Medes and Persians can neverContinueContinue reading “Your Fate Is Sealed By God, Not People”
