The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Galatians 5:6 As joint-heirs of Jesus Christ, we are capable of doing things that we simply couldn’t do. Read John 15:5 and Philippians 4:13. What do these verses teach us? Without Jesus, we cannot do anything. It is that simple. With Him, we can do everything. What have you done in life that required you to draw your strength from Jesus, so you could do the impossible? Read 2 Corinthians 4:7. What is God’s goal according to this verse? God is greatly glorified when we are enabled to do what we are unable…

Reflection Day
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 Today is Reflection Day! I love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me about. It gives me time to pray and seek God about what he wants to change in my life. It gives me time to make a game plan of putting action to what God is telling me and asking of me. Reflection Day gives me a slower pace to grasp what God is telling me. It gives me more time to…

God Can Do And Who He Says I Am
Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 How would you define faith? What does Hebrews 11:1 define faith? There are two words from Hebrews 11:1, they are hoped for and unseen. They don’t make an exact science of faith. The less evidence of the nature of walking by faith rather than by sight has its obvious risks. Perfectionism can be hard when we have faith. We often have to admit that we were wrong. Failure may be painful, but…

God Is Who He Says He Is – Part 2
Did you ponder on yesterday’s post? Did find the answer to how long Moses and Joshua waited before God spoke to them? They waited forty days and nights, then in Exodus 25:1, God spoke! In the old testament, the people could inquire of the Lord in the tent of meeting, however, they had to do it in a certain way. Reread Exodus 33: 7-11. What do you see them doing? They watched Moses from a distance. In 2 Corthinians 3:10, we are the people of the New Covenant, we have the surpassing glory that God has offered to us. Yet, we do what the Old Testament people did, we stand…

The Lord’s Prayer – Part 3
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom comes, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, be deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen Matthew 6: 9-13 Deliver us from evil: We believers in God will always be a target of Satan’s opposition and attack. We can not deal with Satan on our own. We will need to depend on God for help. We will need to pray consistently for wisdom…

We can know His will through His word and through the Holy Spirit leading us.…

The Holy Spirit and Protection
My family and I have traveled a lot in May. Some of it has been relaxing, some of it has been intense. On the first trip, we had some huge things we had to fix on our big van. We had the protection of our Triune God. I am amazed at how far we made it on our trip, and nothing bad happened to us. The rotors were really bad. The next trip we took was within our home state. I ask my bible study ladies to keeps us in their prayers. Our leader listens to the Holy Spirit and then shared what the Holy Spirit said to her. All…

God’s Love For The World
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3:16-17 God’s love is so deep for you! Yes – you!! This is the heart and purpose of God. His plan of salvation for you! God’s love runs deep and wide for everyone. God had his son Jesus die, be the sacrifice, to pay for our sins. He gave his son out of love for us. This is a complete…
