In Psalm 91 we hear, "He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone." How can the Psalmist say this when so often suffering and misfortune in the lives of believers would seem to indicate the opposite? One of the best ways to answer this question is to hear how Jesus Himself, the Word made flesh, responded ...
United with Christ. It's not an achievement you and I work toward, it's a blessing that's ours right now! And in these divided times, it's not one not to be taken for granted. It’s a precious gift from the Holy Spirit that’s ours through faith. It’s anchored in the blessings we have received from our Savior.
Well, I have some news. But I want you to know that it’s serious. You need a get a new heart. And a new spirit. Wait, what? Well, now you get what Ezekiel means when he says that it’s serious. But what you and I can't do, God in love has!
Fresh pie fresh from the oven. What could be better? But there’s only so much of it. You can cut into six slices or eight but it still comes out the same. There’s a limit to it and then it’s gone. It's tempting to think of God's love and mercy this way. If that's the case, then we've probably become stingy at sharing it. And we may despair that the sins in our life have ca...
In Isaiah we hear him say, "Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near." What does this mean? Isaiah explains. So, where do you and I pick up the search? God Himself gives us the answer!
In Psalm 116, the psalmist asks, "What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits to me?" That's a question you and I face as well. What is the best way to worship and give thanks to God for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life that He has given to us in His Son? His answer may surprise you.
Note: Today's devotion is an encore of a popular message that was first published back in September 2020. I'm taking this weekend ...
How many times should you shuffle a deck of cards? Have you ever played a game of cards and wondered if the deck was shuffled sufficiently? Does it seem like the same cards keep coming up again and again? If you’re like me, it might surprise you to hear that scholarly papers and entire books have been written on this topic. However, it turns out the answer has wide ranging impact. On the surface, Peter's sugges...
Here in Romans, Paul states what should be obvious: “Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.” But what he’s saying is more than slogans like “Law-abiding citizens have nothing to worry about.” The apostle goes on to say, “He is God’s servant to do you good.” In an era in which the role of officers is ta...
When Jesus said to the disciples, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me” it would have made them recoil. And it’s a bracing, bucket of water in the face for those who think that following Jesus means a life earthly blessings, ease and prosperity. This was a reality check. Following Jesus includes hardship, but it doesn’t end with it. Following J...
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. " Is Paul adding even more things you must do to an already full laundry list of activities you have accomplish this week? If that’s true, then this verse is a burden and not a blessing. It may surprise you to discover that what apostle is describing is actually a remarkable gift from God that’s yours right now as you navigate the events of this coming day...
