The Lord Preserves You

Psalm 36:6 – “Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O Lord, You preserve man and beast.” Have you taken a look outside your window recently?

Limitless Mercy

Psalm 36:5 – “Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.” We see limits all around us – either imposed by others or self-prescribed. Some limits we push, like staying up way too late, but others we follow. (The speed limit on a highway might be 80kmph but we […]

Love Like Jesus

John 15:12 – “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” Love, as the dictionary defines it, is an intense feeling of deep affection for someone or something. But the love defined in the Bible is so much more than a feeling – no matter how intense. Love originated […]

Forgive and Be Set Free

Matthew 6:14 – “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.”  Forgive and forget – three simple words that hold a world of meaning masked within.

Pursuing Godly Wisdom

Proverbs 2:6 – “For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.”  The desire to know and understand is ingrained in us. Babies are delighted when they learn how to clap their hands. Children pull apart their toys to understand how they work. Even adults constantly check on the news to know […]

Appointed for Salvation

1 Thessalonians 5:9 – “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” The word ‘salvation’ isn’t one we use colloquially. However, it’s a term that’s mentioned quite a lot in the Bible. When the Bible says we are appointed to obtain salvation, what does it mean? […]

Thankful for God’s Goodness and Mercy

1 Chronicles 16:34 – “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”  Praise and thanksgiving abound in the Bible.
