USING REJECTION

2 TIMOTHY 1:15 Paul did not let rejection trap his courage and determination, and neither did Jesus. He is our greatest example of faithfulness under pressure. We can find no greater courage than that of Christ. Everyone forsook Him and abandoned Him, yet Jesus said yes to God. Yes to being separated from the Father … [Read more…]

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

1 THESSALONIANS 4:18 Someone once said: “A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success” (author unknown). Words can really be encouraging.

DON’T GIVE UP!

GENESIS 18:14 We must not give up! Whatever God has spoken into our lives, do not let go of them. Let us keep our vision clear and continue to believe. Nothing is impossible with God. Nothing can stop us from receiving all God has promised us except our doubt and unbelief. The same God who gave … [Read more…]

HE’S GOT YOUR BACK

ISAIAH 58:8B To get someone’s back is an idiom which means to be willing and prepared to help or defend someone; to look out for someone in case they need assistance. Our Bible text makes it clear that the Lord (God) always got our backs. He is always looking out for us and, when one of … [Read more…]

SURRENDER AND OBEDIENCE

JEREMIAH 29:11 God’s plan is not always trouble-free. Sometimes it includes stumbling blocks and sufferings. But we can be sure it is always best. Do you have a plan for your life that collides with God’s plan for you? Whose plan do you think is better? The only way to live a life without regret is to … [Read more…]

VALLEY OF SHADOW

PSALM 23:4 Light and shadows visually define objects. Artists use light and shadows to make their works unique. Sometimes as Christians we are scared of what will happen if shadows temporarily surround us. We fear difficulties and avoid challenges. Yet, because we live in a fallen world, at some point, we will find ourselves in darkness. … [Read more…]
