Psalm 143:8-12 Let me hear of Your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting You. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to You. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to You to hide me. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. For the glory of Your name, O Lord, preserve my life. Because of Your faithfulness, bring me out…..
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Human logic can not comprehend the Lord’s plans nor understand His ways. From a personal perspective, I can’t wrap my mind around it either. As I face trials and deal with difficult situations, it’s hard for me to see things from an eternal perspective. I’ve often cried out to God, “Please have mercy on me and bring…..
2 Kings 4:14-17 Later Elisha asked Gehazi, “What can we do for her?” Gehazi replied, “She doesn’t have a son, and her husband is an old man.” “Call her back again,” Elisha told him. When the woman returned, Elisha said to her as she stood in the doorway, “Next year at this time you will be holding a son in your arms!” “No, my lord!” she cried. “O man of God, don’t deceive me and get my hopes up like…..
Psalm 133:2-3 For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And there the Lord has pronounced His blessing, even life everlasting. (NLT) Acts 10:3-4 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and…..
Colossians 4:5 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. (NLT) Life is full of opportunities. I like to refer to them as divine appointments from the Lord. As we journey through life, we will have divine appointments with people, new job opportunities that await us, different life experiences, and so forth. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3, “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven (vs 1); a…..
1 Kings 8:56-58 “Praise the Lord Who has given rest to His people Israel, just as He promised. Not one word has failed of all the wonderful promises He gave through His servant Moses. May the Lord our God be with us as He was with our ancestors; may He never leave us or abandon us. May He give us the desire to do His will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that He gave…..
1 Kings 8:20a; 22-24 “And now the Lord has fulfilled the promise He made, for I have become king in my father’s place, and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised”. Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the entire community of Israel. He lifted his hands toward heaven, and he prayed, “O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like You in all of heaven above or…..
Matthew 6:15 “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Forgiving someone who has wronged you is not always easy, especially when that person intentionally hurts you and continues to do so with no remorse. We’ve all been in situations whether we have been wronged by someone or we were the guilty person who committed wrongdoing. Personally, I’ve been in situations where I’ve been hurt and I hate to admit this, but…..
Psalm 125:1-2 Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever. Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people, both now and forever. Acts 5:29-36; 38-39 But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than any human authority. The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead after you killed Him by hanging Him on a cross. Then God put…..
2 Samuel 22:2b-7 The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Savior; my God is my Rock, in whom I find protection. He is my Shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. He is my Refuge, my Savior, the One who saves me from violence. I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and He saved me from my enemies. The waves of death overwhelmed me; floods of destruction swept over me. The…..
