God’s Great Mercy

Romans 9:26 NKJV It shall come to pass where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ there they shall be called sons of the living God. The mercy of God is what keeps us going daily. If not for God’s mercy, we would perish. Mercy does not mean receiving what we deserve. […]

Children of God

Romans 8:14 NKJV For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. As children of God, we have the blessed privilege to be led by the Spirit of God. Like tourists are directionless without a guide or soldiers are aimless without a commanding officer, we lack purpose without […]

The Lord’s Heritage

Psalm 127:3-4 NKJV Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth.

Praising God in Adversity

I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations. Psalm 57:9 Praising God during tough times is a challenge. David, the psalmist, had been in the same situation.

Highway for the upright

The way of the sluggard is blocked with thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway. Proverbs 15:19 (NIV) A sluggard is someone who lacks the motivation to accomplish anything.

A city on a hill

Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light. John 12:36 (NIV) John recounted Jesus’ statement to the crowds in Jerusalem. The same crowd that shouted “Hosanna!” (John 12:13) would soon cry out for His crucifixion (John 19:15). Despite understanding the hypocrisy in people (Matthew 15:7-9), Jesus […]
