When faced with a difficult situation, we often instinctively ask ourselves why this is happening to us. Sometimes, we find the answer, but it is also possible that there isn’t an answer, and we must learn to change the question.
We all love to receive compliments or encouragement. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course! However, we need to be vigilant when we start to seek out only these flattering words.
Most Christians know they won’t have seven years of misfortune breaking a mirror, walking under a ladder, or petting a black cat. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t superstitious. For without love, our faith can become superstition.
Sometimes we must put on the full armor of God and fight the good fight of faith. But we must never forget that at other times, we must leave the battlefield and return to the fortress.
We are truly privileged to be children of God. When we make Him our source, we can live in His rest and offer that rest to those around us.
These are some of Jesus' last words. We can sometimes feel that God has forgotten us. Yet, despite His questioning, Jesus' attachment to His Father did not change. A beautiful lesson for us today.
Why pray every day? Because we need to remind ourselves of our position in Christ every day.
We had plans for our lives, we even invested our time and money strategically. But here we are, several years (even decades!) later, far from our dreams. Is all lost?
Whether it’s at the beginning of a new year or at any other time of the year that is conducive to a new beginning, we make all sorts of resolutions. We want to improve our health, appearance, relationships, etc. But what about our wisdom?
We know that the best God has given us is His Son Jesus. His sacrifice has given us eternal life, what more could we ask for? God’s generosity has no limits and our Father wants to bless His children even more.
