Boasting in the Lord

1 minute read

Tuesday’s Verse, 2/4/25

“This is what the Lord says:

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
    or the strong boast of their strength
    or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this:
    that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
    justice and righteousness on earth,
    for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 9:23-24 NIV Read full chapter

Two directives God gives us as He uses people in His service:

  1. That they do not boast about themselves or any personal achievement
  2. That they give the glory to God (from Jeremiah Study Bible notes)

The God of all Comfort

1 minute read

Sunday’s Memory Verse, 2/2/25

“When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
 When anxiety was great within me,
    your consolation brought me joy.” Psalm 94:18-19 NIV

The Hebrew word “tanchum” refers to comfort or consolation, often in the context of providing solace during times of distress or mourning. It embodies the act of offering emotional support and reassurance, reflecting a deep sense of empathy and compassion.

When anxiety is great within us, God Himself will comfort us if we look to Him. There is no better comfort than that.

In His Love, Cindy

Let Your Light Shine: Inspiring Others

1 minute read

Verses for Meditation, 1/30/25

Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 NIV

Be a Light for Others: Share truth from a place of humility, aiming to assist others in their faith journey.” Bruce Cooper, from Pressing On: Hope in Christ

Understanding Our Blessed Hope in Christ

1 minute read

Tuesday’s Verse, 1/28/25

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.” Titus 2:11-14 NIV

Note: the believer’s sure and “blessed hope” is when Jesus returns to judge the earth and set up His kingdom. In the Greek, the word wait conveys the idea of persistent expectation. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

What Is Holocaust Memorial Day? 2025

(2-minute read)

January 27, 2025, is Holocaust Memorial Day. It marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex.

The Holocaust was the attempt by the Nazis and their collaborators to destroy all Jewish people in Europe. It took place across 22 different countries with the active participation of some of the citizens of those countries. Building upon centuries of antisemitism (anti-Jewish hatred), persecution of Jewish people began as soon as the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933. Classification, dividing people into ‘us’ and ‘them’ followed with the Nuremberg laws which discriminated against Jews, stripping them of their German citizenship. They were forced to wear yellow stars, a visual manifestation of the hatred which escalated to dehumanisation, polarisation, persecution. Ultimately it led to the extermination of 6 million Jewish people.

Today, antisemitism (anti-Jewish hatred) has increased significantly in the UK and globally following the vicious and barbaric attacks on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas. (from The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust)

We must never forget!

The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom is a book every Christian must read.

Corrie ten Boom was the first licensed female watchmaker in the Netherlands who became a heroine of the Resistance, a survivor of Hitler’s concentration camps, and one of the most remarkable ministers of hope in the twentieth century.

In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis. In 1944 their lives were forever altered when they were betrayed, arrested, and thrown into the infamous Nazi death camps. Only Corrie among her family survived.

This is her incredible true story–and ultimately the story of how faith, hope, and forgiveness triumphed over unthinkable evil.

Friday’s Verse, 1/24/25

Advocacy for Orphans and the Oppressed

Sunday, 1/19/25

“Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor,
Obtain justice for the orphan,
Plead for the widow’s case.” Isaiah 1:17 NASB Read full chapter

Note: Justice for the orphan (Cheyne); see that he is not wronged – be his champion. Plead for the widow; i.e. plead her cause in the courts… lean towards her, as if her advocate. The widow and the orphan were taken under God’s special protection from the time of Moses, and constantly commended to the tender care of the righteous (Pulpit Commentary)
