Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Sometimes we go through seasons when life feels heavy, and God seems silent. Our prayers remain unanswered, […]
Psalm 147:7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises on the harp to our God. Thanksgiving strengthens our praise because we cannot truly worship God without a thankful heart. We change our perspective when we intentionally thank God for His lovingkindness and divine provisions that we often overlook. As we reflect on God’s goodness, […]
Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. The shepherd determines the flock’s quality of life through his care and guidance. He adds to his flock in two ways: by buying sheep or by raising them. He either buys each sheep or welcomes it when it is born into the flock. At […]
Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Simon Peter once asked the Lord Jesus how many times he should forgive his brother Andrew (Matthew 18:21–35). Jesus responded with an unimaginable number – four hundred and ninety times (seventy times seven). Jesus was not […]
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. In our desire to experience God, we often try to reach Him through our own righteousness. We cling to traditions, follow rules, and rely on human counsel, hoping these will draw us closer to God. But in doing so, we begin to […]
Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Saul was a Pharisee and widely regarded as a righteous man. Trained by the finest teachers and commissioned by the high priests to oppose the followers of Jesus, he pursued […]
Psalm 62:6 He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defence; I shall not be moved. When we read this verse, we naturally feel comforted by the safety and protection that God provides as our Rock. He is our defence and refuge in the absolute midst of adversities. Because the Lord stands […]
Psalm 9:9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Taken by itself, this verse is a beautiful and deeply reassuring promise. But if we read just a few verses earlier, we see the Lord described as the righteous Judge who executes justice and brings judgment upon […]
Psalm 98:5 Sing to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of a psalm. We can certainly take this verse literally. There is a deep beauty in singing to the Lord with an actual harp and the sound of a psalm. But today, let’s also look at this invitation symbolically. The […]
Psalm 121:8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore. Psalm 121 is known to be a traveler’s song. The Israelites sang it on the long road up to Jerusalem. A long way from home, exposed and on foot, they sang to remind themselves who […]
