Lamentations 3:25 – “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.” To wait means to stay where one is– or delay action until a particular time — or, until something else happens. And the Lord is good to us when we wait for Him because when we do, […]
1 Peter 5:6-7 – “Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty had of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” Being humble through the eyes of God, is not the same as being humble through the eyes of men — in the same way […]
Matthew 21:21 – “…if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, it will be done.” Can we say that the size of our faith determines the size of […]
Psalm 55:22 – “Cast your burden on the Lord and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” To cast something according to the dictionary means to throw something forcefully in a specified direction. If you will, we could say: throw your burden forcefully on the Lord, and He will sustain […]
John 11:25 – “Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” “He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26). What Jesus spoke […]

We are “fearfully […]
John 6:47 – “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.” Can you imagine Jesus sitting in front of you, looking into your eyes, intently and intentionally, holding your hand, and saying to you: “Now, really, I absolutely mean what I am saying to you right now, it is serious, […]
1 Timothy 6:12 – “Fight the good fight of faith, layhold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” Usually fights are not associated with something good or pleasant. Children and teenagers who fight at school get in trouble, and adults who fight […]
Matthew 21:22 – “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” “And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive”,”because you keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight.” (Matthew 21:22, 1 John 3:22). The great truth is that for us to receive what we ask for, first we need […]
Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.” Our God is a good God, a wonderful Father, compassionate, slow to get angry, quick to forgive, full of mercy and unfailing love.
