Standing in the Gap: Intercessory Prayer Explained

1-minute read Tuesday’s Verse, 3/18/25

 “I looked for someone who might rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap in the wall so I wouldn’t have to destroy the land, but I found no one. So now I will pour out my fury on them, consuming them with the fire of my anger. I will heap on their heads the full penalty for all their sins. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!” Ezekiel 22:30-31 NLT

Commentary: This is a vivid way to show how a human intercessor appeals to a holy, angry God and convinces Him not to destroy His people but to extend mercy to them …. God is predisposed to show mercy, even when judgment is deserved. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Overcoming Worry

1-minute read Sunday’s Memory Verse, 3/16/25

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

The opposite of peace is worry. The Greek word for anxious means to have “a mind divided” between legitimate thoughts and destructive thoughts. Destructive thoughts will choke out the Word of God and cause believers to abandon trust. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Choosing Between Life and Condemnation

1-minute read Mondays Verse, 3/10/25

“The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” John 3:35-36 NIV

Commentary: God does not send people to hell; rather, people send themselves, choosing the condemnation they are already under. God’s wrath remains on fallen humanity, but thankfully, God has provided a way out through faith in Christ. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

The Importance of Love

1-minute read Verses for meditation, 3/6/25

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.  If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NIV

In His Love, Cindy

Pray For Our Leaders

1-minute read

Sunday’s Memory Verse, 2/9/25

 “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:1-4 NIV

This doesn’t just apply to leaders we like. Remarkably, the Apostle Paul wrote these words to Timothy while the brutal leader Nero was emperor! Nero was a cruel persecutor of Christians. We should pray that our leaders will have wisdom, create peace, and be saved.

Understanding “Hallowed Be Thy Name”

1 minute read

Tuesday’s Verse, 1/21/25

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” Matthew 6:9 AKJV

The meaning of this petition (Matthew 6:9) is, “Let thy name be celebrated, venerated, and esteemed as holy everywhere, and receive from all people proper honour.” It is thus the expression of a wish or desire, on the part of the worshipper, that the name of God, or that God himself, should be held everywhere in proper venerationAlbert Barnes.
