Trusting God
Don’t worry about the wicked. Don’t envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like springtime flowers, they soon wither. Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.Psalm 37:1-4 It is an undeniable truth that we live in a world 🌎of Comparable Relativism. Where everything seems to be compared to something else. Everyone seems to…
Identity & Purpose
Psalm 119:73 KJV Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandment. The psalmist was a man of uncommon understanding, whose desires in life was to know God and to develop a living relationship with God. He knew that identity was central to purpose and that one can truly fulfill his or her purpose in life with acknowledging and accepting that God is the creator and source of life. When we come…
God who answers prayers
The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake! The Lord sits in majesty in Jerusalem, supreme above all the nations. Let them praise your great and awesome name. Your name is holy! . . . Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also called on his name. They cried to the Lord for help, and he answered them. Psalm 99:1-3, 6 God is worthy of our praise,…
Praying the Heart of God
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God’s mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority.1 Timothy 2:1-2 Paul knows that nothing of eternal significance happens without prayer, so he urges young Timothy, “Pray for all people,” and he gets specific about who “all” is in verse 2: kings and those in authority. If I had been Timothy, I…
Weakness of Violence
“Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.” Matthew 26:52 “London Is Burning.” That was one of the headlines during the violent August 2011 protests in England’s capital city. The uproar began when police shot and killed a twenty-six-year-old man. In response, rioters created mayhem across London and other British cities, killing at least five people and injuring others. Whether the violence was a result of simple thuggery or social inequalities…

A Godly Example
Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that is appropriate for someone serving the Lord. These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to take care of their homes, to do good. Titus 2:3-5 This passage exhorts those who are older to lead by example and to mentor others in living a godly lifestyle. But you don’t have to be a senior citizen to…
Strategy Without God’s Approval
Read 📚 – 2 Kings chapter 10. Jehu was obsessively focused on one goal: removing Baal worship from Israel. God wants you to have goals and strategy. Without them you won’t be able to accomplish anything that really matters in life. Can you imagine this conversation between a coach and his football team? “Go get those guys!” “Yeah! We are fired up, Coach. What is the strategy?” “Strategy? Ah, we don’t need a strategy. Just go win.” “But what about specific plays?”…
Self Appraisal
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 KJV Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. [13] There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. One of the most difficult things we Humans often struggle with is ” Appraisal…
Seeing things through the eyes of Faith
Two of the men who had explored the land, Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, tore their clothing. They said to the community of Israel, “The land we explored is a wonderful land! And if the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey, and he will give it to us! Do not rebel against the Lord,…
Approach – Key 🔑to Life’s Issues
Proverbs 16:20 KJV He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he. Often in life it is what has happened or what we are confronted with that poses the greatest challenge, rather it is how we approach it. Approach is the element by which or upon which all matters are either resolved or exacerbated. One thing about approach is the preconceived disposition of the Heart ❤. When you are faced with a…
