Unconditional Surrender
It’s easy to say we want God’s will for our lives, but as someone recently reminded me, we often surrender, but with conditions.
The “Moment” of Affliction
When in the midst of pain or trial, it can seem like nothing else exists. But 2 Corinthians 4 gives us the true perspective.
A Lesson from the Grave Clothes
Grave clothes are symbols of death, instruments of burial, but the grave clothes used in Christ’s burial became something glorious and triumphant instead.
Safety is of the Lord
We all like to feel safe and secure. It can be easy, though, to forget where our safety and security truly come from.
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.
