1 Peter 4:8 – And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. So often, people try to make others fit into their mold and be just like them. We think, “If they would just change, then I wouldn’t get upset. If they would just do it the […]
Proverbs 27:17 – Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. One of the best things I’ve learned is that God does not bring people into my life so I can make them just like me. God wants us to be different. He’s given us different personalities, different strengths, different hobbies […]
Acts 10:34-35 – Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom–and God’s freedom is free for everyone! It doesn’t […]
Proverbs 4:18 – But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Sometimes it’s easy to become so goal-oriented and so focused on our dreams that we overlook the simple things that we should be enjoying in our everyday life. But we have to […]
James 1:6 – But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. If there’s one thing that can lead you down a road away from your potential and seeing the awesome plan God has for your life, it’s your […]
John 16:33 – These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Every day, things come against us in life to try to steal our joy and rob us of our victory. In […]
Isaiah 43:2 – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” Surfing cannot be an easy sport. Think of the intricate balance that surfers must maintain on […]
Exodus 2:9 – “And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, ‘Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.’ So the woman took the child and nursed him.” One can only wonder what Moses’ mother, Jochebed, must have been thinking when she let go of him in a […]
Romans 10:17 – “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Faith is a huge component of our lives. We know (at least, theoretically) that our faith has the power to move mountains (Matthew 17:20). We understand that without faith it’s impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). And yet, do […]
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 – “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Many of us are quite familiar with today’s verses with […]
