Deliverance

398)  Psalm 50:15 promises us deliverance from our troubles. This deliverance can be in the dissolving of the situation but often it comes as a result of faith. By faith we trust that God is in control, no matter what happens, therefore that is where we find deliverance.

Mess with Them, You Mess with Me

397) It’s not unusual for families (even dysfunctional ones) to adopt the unspoken loyalty clause, you mess with them, you mess with me. Proverbs 14:31 reminds us that God maintains this clause. This is a comfort, and at the same time, a warning. We are protected by God and He protects others – perhaps even

Watch Tower

396) In ancient times, many cities were walled, some even double walled and towers were built to keep watch for the enemy. God is referred to as our Tower. He is constantly watching over us, protectively. We can trust that only what is for our good will be allowed to penetrate these walls.  Proverbs 18:10

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

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.”

The Fallacy of My Way

391) We all like to get our own way, but like children, we often don’t know what is good for us. When we ask God to do His will in our lives, we acknowledge that we’re better off in His hands. Isn’t it better to let someone that sees everything be in control or the

Covering or Leveling

390) Some of us spend so much time leveling. We either try and build ourselves up or we tear others down to be level with us. Both of these are a waste of time. The truth is, we have all sinned – no one is better or worse than another and Jesus’ death covers our

Soil is Important

389)  1 Timothy 1:5 tells of a love that is the ultimate goal for God’s children. This love is rooted in a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith. It’s important that these roots are supplied with nutritional soil & a balance of sun and water. Spend your energy supplying fertile soil instead
