Psalm 18:2 (NKJV): The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Rocks are known to be strong, stable, and unchanging. They come in different shapes and sizes and are quite useful as a […]
Philippians 4:19 (NKJV): And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. What we want is not always what we need. Don’t we often tend to confuse the two? And don’t our wants always outweigh our needs? In this verse, Paul thanks the Philippians for generously supporting […]
Psalm 105:1 (NKJV): Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! How do we usually feel when we wake up in the morning — thankful or burdensome? Thankful for God’s breath in our lungs or burdened about the day ahead of us? David never forgot the […]
Psalm 31:24 (NKJV): Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord. David knew from experience what it meant to hope in the Lord. For 14 years, he was chased by jealous King Saul through the wilderness. Despite the terror, he waited on God for the fulfillment […]
Psalm 27:1 (NKJV): The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? If anyone had a reason to fear, it was David. When he wasn’t fighting a war, he was running for his life. Despite the terrors that faced […]
Proverbs 18:10 (NKJV): The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. What is meant by ‘strong tower’? The dictionary describes it as an emotionally strong person who lends plenty of support or help during difficult times. Simply put, it is someone who makes us feel safe. […]
Matthew 6:25 (NKJV): Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing. Do children worry if they will get food tomorrow? Or if […]
Psalms 91: 5-6 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. Fear is a natural human emotion, which triggers our fight or flight response in the face of imminent physical danger. What do we […]
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to His abundant mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3 Psalm 103 starts with “Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His […]
Lamentations 3: 22-23 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. It does seem quite inappropriate that a verse talking about God’s mercy and love should find its place in a book named Lamentations. Doesn’t it? But, that’s the nature of our God. Even grief and sorrow cannot […]
