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”

Keep It Secret

“Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1 NLT) The need to show off our good deeds is great. Impressing others with our good works gives us satisfaction. However, in Matthew 6:1-4, Jesus taught us to keepContinueContinue reading “Keep It Secret”

Be a God Pleaser

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant. (Galatians 1:10 NLT) For a long time, I was a God pleaser and a people pleaser at the same time. So you can imagine how convicting the above passage wasContinueContinue reading “Be a God Pleaser”

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…He has made everything beautiful in its time. (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11 NIV) Many people aren’t happy with how their lives are going because they aren’t in tune with God’s timing. They often try to run ahead of His schedule. I loveContinueContinue reading “A Time for Everything”

Laugh Along with Him

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. (Psalm 2:4 NIV) The more we get to know God, the more we will begin to understand His ways and assume His character. When the devil comes along and attempts to threaten our wellbeing and peace, we can do what God does and “laugh,”ContinueContinue reading “Laugh Along with Him”

Delight in Your Weakness

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT) Over the course of my teaching career, I’ve had to be evaluated a couple ofContinueContinue reading “Delight in Your Weakness”

We’re His Masterpiece

Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous–how well I know it. (Psalm 139:14 NLT) Today I can say this verse with confidence, but for years, the Enemy used to make me believe otherwise. Like many people, I wasn’t happy with my body image. I paid more attention to what peopleContinueContinue reading “We’re His Masterpiece”

It’s Just a Dress

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher. “Vanity of vanities! All [that is done without God’s guidance] is vanity [futile, meaningless—a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes, merely chasing the wind].” (Ecclesiastes 1:2 AMP) I heard a story about a customer who had gone to a store to pick up a dress. Apparently, something didn’tContinueContinue reading “It’s Just a Dress”

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!”
