When Hope Turns Bitter
Proverbs 13:12 says that “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.” This is exactly what the Israelites experienced when they tasted the bitter water at Marah. What is God’s answer for hope turned bitter?
Goodness Like a Fetter
It is easy to see God’s goodness in things we like and enjoy, but God’s goodness is also at work when we are restricted or limited.
The Deciever’s Mother
Jacob is often described as a deceiver, due to his part in tricking his father into giving him the blessing Isaac intended to give to Esau. But a careful reading of Genesis 27 will show that Jacob’s mother had a large part in deception.
Psalm 125:1 Secure and Rooted
The poetic imagery of the Bible isn’t just for show. The descriptive pictures painted in Psalm 125:1 have been carefully chosen to illustrate an amazing truth about the relationship between God and His people.
Givens and Not Givens
Everyone deals with longings for things they don’t have, or with things in their lives they wish they didn’t have. What we do with these “givens” and “not givens” of life will determine whether we are miserable or peaceful and fulfilled.
But if Not
Have you ever wondered what true faith looks like? The account of the three Hebrews who stood for God even in the face of a fiery furnace inspires us to take some dramatic stand for God, but we often don’t notice one crucial phrase in their reply to the wicked king.
Envy in Christian Ministry
When we accept Christ’s payment for our sins, He destroys both the penalty and power of sin in our lives. However, this side of heaven, we do still have a very real sin nature. And because we are but redeemed sinners, our service for the Lord can be tainted by sinful motives and attitudes. One sin that seems to arise often in the context of ministry is envy. How are we to respond?
Yield
If you were asked what street sign best characterizes this current season of your life, what would you say? Learning Ladyhood is called that for a reason, and this week’s post is about one of the lessons God is teaching me this summer.
Be Still and Know
Ever struggle with the uncertainties of life? God knows we are prone to worry and fret over things we don’t understand or can’t control. Thankfully, He has given us exactly the instructions we need to know how to deal with life’s many uncertainties!
