A TABLE BEFORE US

MATTHEW 5:6. Once in a while, we can admit to having sluggish appetites spiritually speaking. Our days are filled with many things which clamour for our time and attention. Our mind and emotions become so occupied; we often discover we are not hungry for the things God has lovingly prepared for us in His Word … [Read more…]

TOO MUCH CREDIT TO THE DEVIL

1 PETER 4:12. It is very easy for us to assume every trial we face is rooted in the devil’s schemes. He is delighted, of course, for this focuses our attention on him, ourselves and our problems, and turns us away from God. The result is a fertile ground for the enemy to plant seeds of … [Read more…]

OUR SKILLS

PROVERBS 20:24. Have you ever found yourself repeating the same tasks day after day? Did you ever wonder if you were wasting time doing what you kept doing each day/time? I  assume young David may have thought the same way too. Day after day he sat and watched sheep. This bored teenager found two ways to … [Read more…]

THE BATTLE

1 PETER 5:8-9. Christians are in a continual battle against our adversary, the devil, whose sole aim is to cause havoc for each of us. He waits until we are at a vulnerable place before bringing forth his attack. This is why we have to be on our guard every single day. There are times when we … [Read more…]

WHAT THE DEVIL DOES NOT FEAR

JOSHUA 1:8 Do you know that words do not scare the devil? The devil is not even afraid of God’s Word. That was why he could quote it to tempt Jesus. It is when words translate into action and change a life that he becomes afraid. Please share and like me:

BITTER WATERS

EXODUS 15:22-26. The bitter water at Marah was symbolic of what was taking place in the hearts of the people of Israel.

IF WE CONFESS

1 JOHN 1:9. We all like to look our best. If we share our shortcomings, we might ruin our reputation. We could be misunderstood, or even rejected. If others knew our hidden sins, it could cause them to stumble. Instead of risking vulnerability and getting help, we put on a false front. We play a game … [Read more…]

ABILITY

EXODUS 4:10-12. Each day, we have a choice to believe and fill our minds with God’s truth, which will change our hearts, or listen to what other people say and be discouraged. It is a choice we must each make. In Exodus 4:10, Moses tells God that he cannot do what God told him to … [Read more…]

THE “I AM”

EXODUS 3:14. Two simply words, with just three letters – “I AM.” The Lord tells us repeatedly in His Word that He is the great “I AM.” Why did He never add anything else to the statement? If the scriptures had added the enormous sum of greatness necessary to define those two powerful words, the Bible would … [Read more…]

LIVE IT OUT

EXODUS 23:2. How many times do others wish they could count on us to provide a Christlike environment, but we do not offer them one? Are there days people also felt isolated from kindheartedness, and we were the reason for their pain? We are meant to be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, humble in spirit, etc. Do … [Read more…]
