Great Obligations

376)  Romans 15:1 tells us we have a spiritual obligation to bear or help carry the burdens of others. The word “help” here is important. The verse does not tell us to take away these burdens, even if we could. Growth comes from enduring difficulties and having the support of others makes this possible.

Taste and See

375) As kids, we loved it when a grocery store was giving out free samples. What was meant to encourage a commitment to purchases, was just a snack to us.   Psalm 34:8 encourages us to “take samples” of God. How? Take His word for something or obey what He has commanded. See what good it

Want to Know What God is Life?

374)  As finite people, it’s hard to wrap our minds around the infinite – God. What is He like? To limit Who He is to our terms, He is: forgiving, gracious, compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Even in this limited description, God is an awesome God. Nehemiah 9:17

Rewards Worth Earning

373) It is hard to watch the news these days. Much includes anger and selfishness, and yet, doing what’s right, being kind and loving others, produces good things for them and ourselves. Some rewards cannot be seen with our eyes but God promises they do exist. Choose kindness. Proverbs 21:21

Doing Unto Others

372) There will come a day when the eternal books are opened and your life is going to be reviewed. Will God find that you fed and gave drinks to others in need? Did you welcome strangers that crossed your path? Did you provide clothing, nursing and visits to those chained to their misery? These

The Cure for the Blues

369)  We all go through periods of feeling down. Sometimes this blue feeling cannot even be linked to a specific thing. If you desire to move out of this season of life, do something(s) for others. Giving to others is the cure for the blues. The more it “costs” you to give, the greater the

Runaway Thoughts

368)  It’s estimated that we can speak 400 words a minute but think 4,000 words in the same amount of time. 1 Peter 4:8 tells us love covers a multitude of sins. Some translations of the word, “cover” reveal that it can mean “to hinder the knowledge” of something. Perhaps we can hinder the destructive

Easy Words, Hard Actions

368) Words cost us little; we can spew them out without thought. Actions are different. You can say, I love you, all you want but to show someone you love them requires action. If you say something but your actions contradict them, your words carry no value. Back up your words in what you do.
