The Combat Zone of Grace

558)  2 Corinthians 12:9 tells us that God’s grace is sufficient. Reading that, I think: OK. Got that! What I had not done is look up the Greek word used here for sufficient. It means to defend or ward off. What I understand this to mean is that if I live under God’s grace, this

Can’t Anyone Understand Me?

557) There are always buzz words that come and go. Lately, the words, “I just want to be heard” really means, I want to be understood. Finding people who understand a specific situation can be calming and even, healing.  Isaiah 40:28 tells us that God understands everything about me. How calming and healing this truly

The Truth, The Whole Truth

556) Sometimes when we ask people advice, we are really hoping to find an accomplice. We may want them to say what we want to hear. God does not answer us this way. He will always give us the truth, even if it’s hard to hear. The Truth, The Whole Truth. John 16:13

I Recognize You!

555) Micah 7:18 and other passages in the Bible have to tell us what God is like. For example, He is the forgiver of sins, patient, kind, loving and more. It’s great that God recorded for us what He is like, even though we’ll never fully know until we are with Him. We have not

The Power of Arguing

552) If arguing with someone over spiritual things promoted repentance and gratitude, God would have commanded it.

Drip, Drip, Drip

551) Living in strife produces nothing that is good. In fact, Proverbs 10:13 describes it as similar to hearing the drip, drip, drip of a faucet all night long. Making the choice to hold animosity in your heart will destroy you and those around you.

Well Rested

550)  When you hear the word rest, it’s easy to consider only the condition of our bodies. What if resting is an emotional, spiritual and intellectual condition, as well? Joshua 1:15 tells us that God is the source of rest; all kinds of rest. To wake up well-rested in all these areas is a gift

Equally Important

549) Sometimes I have thought that God had a closer relationship with Biblical characters. Though He often conversed in a different way with them, Joshua 1:5 reminds me that God is still with me as He was with Moses and Joshua. I am equally important and loved by the God Who is love itself.
