“The Prayer that Never Fails”

475)  My all-time favorite author, Jan Karon, has her characters possess what they call, “The Prayer that Never Fails” and I think this is the perfect title. When we ask God for things but add, “Not my will but Yours,” we acknowledge that He has our best interests at heart. Standing on this promise takes

What is Mercy?

474)  Mercy is a gift we can give others. It is the decision to let someone who has wronged us off the hook. A wrong was done & no penalty is given. God is merciful with us so how can we not be with others? Luke 6:36

Being Heard

473)  I believe there is a difference between listening and hearing. It’s so important to know we’ve been heard. Luke 11:28 tells us that God’s people need to hear Him and then, obey Him. This hearing is a two-way street. Hear, hear!

Leaving is Only the First Step

472)  Luke 5:11 tells us that Jesus’ disciples left everything when called by Him. They did something else, too; they left and followed Him. Giving up things for God is only the first step – we must follow Him, too. This is making the decision to let God call the shots and not us.

House Guest

467) As God’s children, we have a permanent house guest. The Holy Spirit lives within. Jesus called the temple a house of prayer. Putting these two together, it seems appropriate to have a continual conversation with this guest. God wants to talk with us. Amazing! Matt.21:13

Now

466)  It’s easy to spend a lot of time mulling over the past or worrying about the future. Instead, Jesus says to only be concerned for today. That alone will fill up our time. Matt. 6:34

Just As He Said

465)  In the world we now live, it isn’t always prudent to take someone at their word. But when it comes to God, you can always count on Him keeping His word. In light of this, we shouldn’t be surprised when God does that very thing, just as he said. Matt. 28:5-6
