Are the fights we’re engaged in really God’s fights? Or are we casting judgment when Jesus would extend grace?
Whether or not it’s presently popular to believe it, God’s Word remains true. Infallible. Flawless. For too long we’ve allowed others to tell us what truth is. We need to open our Bibles and permit the Teacher Himself to write His Word upon our hearts. Let’s do that together with today’s Word on Wednesday.
Most of us seek God for external works. We want Him to heal our finances, our marriages, our bodies. But we don’t really want Him. Do you seek His presence? Or do you seek His hand?
As believers, we each hold a Gift we might not realize—a Gift we can’t be effective in our faith without.
Sometimes I get frustrated with prayer. But why do we keep praying, beloved? Because God moves through faith. And you never know when God’s perfect timing will intersect your circumstances.
“For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power” (1 Corinthians 4:20). You probably love that verse. I do. It holds a beautiful promise. Our faith isn’t limited to words and creeds. It promises power. But I have to ask, are you experiencing that power?
Have you noticed how easily we get offended? Taking offense and harboring bitterness in your heart will keep you from experiencing the grace of forgiveness in your own life. When we trust God to keep His Word and surrender our bitterness, a beautiful thing happens.
In this fallen world we live in, love ends. Friendships divide. Marriages splinter. But Biblical love isn’t a feeling. It’s action. Jesus commands us to love even our enemies and when we do, love heals. It redeems. It transforms.
