Proverbs 21:31 – “The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.” A battle horse is a powerful animal. It would have to be the best in its breed and trained from a very age for warfare. These horses would go through rigorous training, so they aren’t spooked easily […]
Psalm 30:5 – “For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” We have all been through trying times when only sorrow and pain abound. There doesn’t seem to be an end to all the suffering; no light to be seen […]
Joshua 1:9 – “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Today’s verse emphasizes God’s words to Joshua when the mantle of leadership fell on his shoulders after Moses’ death. One can only imagine the myriad thoughts […]
2 Chronicles 30:27 – “The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, for their prayer reached heaven, his holy dwelling place.” This verse in the Old Testament reiterates something we often take for granted – prayer. The priests and Levites prayed on behalf of the people, and their prayer reached […]
Psalm 94:18 – “When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.” Ever had to walk down a muddy, slippery path with a shoe that had no grip? It’s nearly impossible to take proper steps without slipping and sliding along every few minutes. That’s probably the reason trekkers wear sturdy boots and […]
Lamentations 3:22-23 – “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” We often end a Sunday, energized and invigorated, ready for whatever the week ahead might hold. We’ve had our weekend break, and refreshed ourselves – physically, emotionally and […]
Proverbs 11:25 – The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Do you need refreshing today? So many people go around overwhelmed, tired, worn down, barely getting by. But that’s not God’s best. He wants us to prosper. He wants us to be refreshed. Here’s the key: […]
Proverbs 11:18 – The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. Did you know God’s kingdom operates on a system of sowing and reaping? Have you heard the saying, “What goes around, comes around?” That’s really a spiritual principle. What you sow, you will reap. But […]
John 2:5 – His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. When Jesus performed His first miracle, He was at a wedding celebration. His mother knew that in order to see His power at work, there was one key: “Whatever He says, do it.” It’s the same way with us […]
Ephesians 4:32 – And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. In this day and age, it’s easy to become distracted, almost consumed with all the obligations we have on a daily basis. Cell phones, computers, the internet have all made it so […]
