Get Over Your Past

Ecclesiastes 7:10 – Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. All of us have had mixed experiences while growing up. There are those fun times and good days that stand fresh in our memory. We wish life could be that simple now, even as […]

Faith and Obedience

Exodus‬ ‭12:13‬ – “The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.” The Passover is a great example of how an entire race […]

The Key to Contentment

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:5‬ – Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” The latter part of today’s verse is quite popular among believers, and rightly so. The promise that God will never leave us nor forsake us […]

Don’t be hardened against God

Hebrews 3:13—”You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.” Do you remember the first time you disobeyed authority, told a lie, or did something dishonest? It must’ve felt very bad – like the end of the world […]

Praises to a merciful God

Psalm 68:19—”Praise the Lord; praise God our savior!  For each day he carries us in his arms.” Woke up late this morning with an aching body and unrested body. The tiredness of the previous day lingered due to the sweltering heat of the day that tried not to let go the walls of our house […]

Look to Jesus

Romans 7:15 -“I don’t understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate.” The apostle explains beautifully in this scripture about how death puts a stop to everything in our earthly life including the validity of the laws. […]

Can you love and hate?

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12—”Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But […]

Toil for Joy and Satisfaction

Ecclesiastes 2:22—”What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun? For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.” Every morning we, or someone in our house, […]
