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, […]
Nahum 1:7 – “The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.” The Lord is good. This single statement should be enough to silence all our fears and give us the strength to press on, day after day. While none of us go about looking […]
Isaiah 41:13 – “For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’” Holding someone’s hand is an intimate gesture meant to convey love, care and compassion. We only hold hands with people we are really familiar with, close friends and family. It’s a touch […]
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 […]

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 […]
Romans 10:9 – “…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30). 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.
