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. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all IContinueContinue reading “No Empty Words”

The Rewards of Giving

“Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” (Luke 6:38 NLT) Over the years, I’ve come to realize how true this principle is. WheneverContinueContinue reading “The Rewards of Giving”

Remember

“For seven days you must live outside in little shelters. All native-born Israelites must live in shelters. This will remind each new generation of Israelites that I made their ancestors live in shelters when I rescued them from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” (Leviticus 23:42-43 NLT) It’s so easy toContinueContinue reading “Remember”

Small and Humble

Finally, he appeared to me, even though I am like someone who was born at the wrong time. I am the least important of all the apostles. In fact, I caused so much trouble for God’s church that I don’t even deserve to be called an apostle. (1 Corinthians 15:8-9 CEV) The most well knownContinueContinue reading “Small and Humble”

Choose Joy!

When I was a kid, Winnie-the-Pooh was one of my favourite Disney cartoons. So you can imagine my excitement when Disney introduced the movie, Christopher Robin. The only character I was never a big fan of was Eeyore, the donkey. He was always so pessimistic, gloomy and depressed that he’s just not my cup ofContinueContinue reading “Choose Joy!”

Red Sea Moment

The Israelites were finally released from Egyptian bondage. It was a dream come true. They were overjoyed, thrilled. How couldn’t they be? But when they came to the edge of the Red Sea with their former slave owners pressing against them, they did what many of us would do – they panicked. Why would GodContinueContinue reading “Red Sea Moment”

Be Still and Know

“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10 NIV) is the verse that has come to define my life through COVID, as I’m sure it has for many others. Written during a time of crisis, the Psalm was meant to serve as a reminder to not fear but rather know and trust inContinueContinue reading “Be Still and Know”

Controlling the Tongue

Do you want to live and enjoy a long life? Then don’t say cruel things and don’t tell lies. (Psalm 34:12-13 CEV) Oftentimes, my prayer is just that–for God to keep my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking lies. And being true to His Word, God has kept me from situations where I’dContinueContinue reading “Controlling the Tongue”

Behold His Salvation

“For my eyes have seen Your Salvation.” (Luke 2:30 AMP) God had revealed to Simeon, a man whom Scripture describes as “righteous and devout…[who was] looking for the Consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him…that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)” (Luke 2:25-26).ContinueContinue reading “Behold His Salvation”
