“From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?” (Job 28:20). In order for true wisdom to be known, everything must balance out in the symmetry of thought and actions converging towards a desired end. All that preceded the moment must be fully known, and all that shall come after must be taken into account. Any…
“And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ’love will cover a multitude of sins’ (9) Be hospitable to one another without grumbling” (1Pet 4:8-9). Love does not ignore or deny the sin, but love loves in spite of the sin. There are some deeds that could make it difficult to love the one who has offended…
“It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear” (Is 65:24). God anticipates the call or the cry of His children. He readily responds to their sincere hearts with the very best remedy to their deepest needs. They are the ones who are full of questions in need…
“Known to God from eternity are all His works” (Acts 15:18-19). What may appear as a difficulty or even defeat for many who are engaged in the works of God is no more than a part of a sentence in a complete story. The script has been written and complete while each has entered onto the stage with an assignment.…
“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?” (Jer 32:27). Impossibilities are not a part of the language of God. The finite mind stretches to its limits in understanding which are far below God’s abilities. For God made man as much as He has made all things. He has full knowledge…
“For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts” (Hag 2:6-7). The people of God…
“And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth” (Acts 17:26). Our common ancestry unites us all into the human species. We are a species of beings to which God has given special attention. All may not be aware of it, but God has given His undivided attention to…
“And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise” (Heb 6:15). The rush towards the promise, without patience to endure the attendant trials, is giving expression to doubt and unbelief. Those careless movements are usually met with disappointments with self as well as with God. Misunderstandings arise concerning God’s character of love and concern when one caves in…
“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Gal 6:9-10). The act that becomes a habit, the habit that equates into a lifestyle of doing good, is the life we have been called to live. We enter into the life and experience of Christ and grow…
“Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like him” (1Pet 4:1 MSG). The aim of Jesus is to teach us what it means to be fully human. There has been made for us a way to understand life from a perspective that is much greater than fallen man is able to see, understand, or…
“I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways” (Ps 119:15). To give deep thought of what God requires is necessary if we are to align ourselves with His will. It is not a casual or passing thought that captures the truths contained in His Word, but rather to savor those morsels of insight until they become a part…
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free” (Gal 5:1). The most secure place is the position of true freedom. Permission is granted to us by our Sovereign Authority to fully participate in a work that extends beyond the passions that once ruled over us. We once thought of freedom as being able to follow…
