The Fruit of Division

401) We will never forget the horror of the attack America had on this date in 2001. In its wake, we pulled together, fought for and supported each other. Today, our division is immense.  Jesus warns of the fruit of division. Refusing to be part of the problem is a step away from imminent destruction.

Need Strength?

400) Body building strengthens but events in life can destroy that quickly. In these times, we need God’s strength to get us through. This doesn’t mean the situation ends, it means we choose to depend on God for strength, whether we fight or need Him to fight for us. 1 Samuel 30:6

The Judge

399) For some, the word, “judge” is terrifying. Many spend their days feeling judged by others or themselves. Psalm 7:11 says God is a righteous judge. He weighs all our thoughts and actions. This is terrifying but the good news is, if we have accepted Jesus’ gift of dying in our place, we are pardoned.

Deliverance

Compassion, not Condemnation

395)  It’s easy to assume that God sees us as we do. We can fluctuate between self-elevation or condemnation. God, because of grace, views us with compassion. He knows our difficulties and is always eager to help and comfort. Mark 6:34

Who’s Afraid?

394)  1 John 4:18 tells us that fear is rooted in anticipated punishment. We somehow believe that the situation is a direct result of something one has done wrong. The good news is with God’s forgiveness, there is no need to fear; the punishment is paid.

The Look of Disappointment

393)  We are familiar with Peter’s denial of knowing Jesus but Luke 22:61 tells us that after Peter’s 3rd statement, Jesus turns and looks at him, perhaps hurt and disappointed. If I kept this in mind when I’m thinking of doing something wrong, I might not be so quick to do it.

My Way

392) The fact that we have feelings is a gift from God. Love, joy, peace, contentment & happiness are wonderful. But what if our feelings deceive us, making something that’s forbidden good or something good, undesirable? We must not but as much weight on how we feel but instead, ask, “not my will but Yours.”
