2 Thessalonians 3:3 – “The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” Some of the definitions of the word ‘faithful’ are: • Loyal – showing firm and constant support. • Steadfast – resolutely firm and unwavering. • Constant – unchangingly faithful and dependable. Can you think of anyone in your […]
Psalm 23:2 – “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” What do you think a sheep would dream off? Possibly a green, grassy field as far as the eye can see, a quietly bubbling brook in sight, and the presence of the shepherd close by. In […]
Matthew 5:6 – “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” What is it that you truly crave? Some of us have food cravings and we suddenly desire a juicy burger or an ice cream. While we may be able to satisfy those cravings by visiting the nearest fast […]
Luke 21:15 – “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.” Knowing what to say and when to say it can be quite a challenge in our daily lives. Too often we speak when we should have remained silent, and don’t say […]
Psalm 119:132 – “Look upon me and be merciful to me, as Your custom is toward those who love Your name.” The dictionary defines the word ‘custom’ as, “a thing that one does habitually”.

Psalm 103:12 – “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” A quick glance at the world map would tell you that America lies in the west and Japan lies in the east. But is it really so? A two-dimensional map gives us a skewed […]
Ephesians 2:5 – “Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved).” Gardening enthusiasts love their plants. They tend them carefully, making sure they have just the right amount of sunshine, water and minerals from the soil. If a plant was drying out, you can imagine […]
Ezekiel 34:15 – I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. What the shepherd does with the flock, our Shepherd will do with us. He will lead us to the high country. When the pasture is bare down here, God will lead us up there. He will […]
Romans 3:24 – Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: It is common knowledge that humans are imperfect. Even if one doesn’t hold to the Christian doctrine of man’s depravity (sinfulness), a popular cultural saying is “We’re only human.” It is both an admission and understanding that people […]
Matthew 5:9 – Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. When you are in conflict, concentrate on reconciliation rather than resolution. There’s a big difference: Reconciliation means to re-establish the relationship, but resolution means to resolve every issue by coming to agreement on everything. That’s simply not going to […]
