It was a glorious day when I realized that nobody expected me to have all the answers...least of all God. If I could figure it all out, I’d qualify as His adviser, and Scripture makes it clear He doesn’t need my short-sighted, insignificant counsel.
That’s the whole point of greed. You’ll want more and more of something that isn’t good for you. And in the getting of it, you’ll suffer the painful consequences.
How magnificent is grace! How sweet are the promises! How precious is God’s love! How broad is God’s mercy! How refreshing is the Lord!
If you’ve blown it, don’t sweat it. Make things right today, brush off your sandals and move back out in His strength and courage. It’s not that great a leap.
Facing trouble today? Maybe a long struggle with uncertainty, or confronting a seemingly impossible obstacle in your life? The Spirit is at work, forming patience in you. Don’t resist it...embrace it! Let Him lengthen your temper. You can’t, but He can.
It’s one thing to stand firm in major issues clearly set forth in Scripture. It’s another thing to pick fights over tiny jots and meaningless tittles.
The highs and lows of our lives are usually triggered by surprises. Within split seconds we are sobbing or laughing like crazy.
I know another One who promised He would return. He, too, will keep His word. In fact, He’s never broken one promise. There’s no credibility gap with Him. Count on it: He will return!
There can be a shortage of spiritual nourishment in our lives—in our marriages, our homes. A regular diet of the unadulterated truth of God is a rare experience.
Turn to the Lord today and commit your time, gifts, affections, and investments to Him. Make certain His name is made known and His grace transferred through your brief, but meaningful years on earth.
