Finding Strength in Our Weakness

1 minute read

Friday’s Verse, 1/24/25

“But he (Jesus) said to me (Paul), “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV

“Thus, our shortcomings are not a barrier to God’s work but a canvas for His power and glory.” Bruce Cooper, Pressing On in Christ Despite Our Shortfalls

God’s Purpose and Protection

1 minute read

Verses for Meditation, 1/23/25

“Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me,
For my soul finds shelter and safety in You,
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure
Until destruction passes by. 
I will cry to God Most High,
Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan].
” Psalm 57:1-2 AMP

Note: This is a psalm of David when he fled for his life from King Saul and hid in a cave. Read about how David spared Saul’s life and went on to become king, as God planned all along. 1 Samuel 24

Trust in God. He will fulfill His purpose for you, too!

Trusting God When Times Are Tough

1 minute read

Quote of the Week, 1/22/25

It is in dark times that faith often becomes stronger. Just ask Elijah when he fled from Jezebel or Paul when he was locked in a Roman prison. If there is nothing left but to trust God, then there is nothing you can do except – you guessed it – to trust God. When you do, it is one hundred percent guaranteed that He will show Himself faithful and your dependence on Him will grow.

Amir Tsarfati, Behold Israel

“When I am afraid, I will trust in You.” Psalm 56:3 NLT

Finding Truth in a Conflicted World

Friday’s Verse, 1/17/25

Cleansed From a Guilty Conscience

Verses for Meditation, 1/16/25

“Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:22-23 NIV

Note: Our hope is so certain that the author previously calls it our anchor (6:19). Blood was sprinkled at Mount Sinai on the priests and even on the people. Under the New Covenant, people’s hearts are inwardly sprinkled with Christ’s blood to cleanse them from a guilty conscience when they come to faith. (Jeremiah Study Bible)

Hallelujah!

The Power of Loving Actions

Quote of the Week, 1/15/25

“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor,” C.S. Lewis advises, but rather “act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets: when you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love them.”

from How to Forgive the Unforgiveable, By Mitch Teemley

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31 NIV

Hospitality in Christian Life

Tuesday’s Verse, 1/14/25

“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2 NIV

Note: Historically, the early Christians were known for their hospitality, often opening their homes to fellow believers and travelers. This was not just a social nicety but a vital part of their witness and community life. (Berean Study Bible)

Confidence in Prayer

Sunday’s Memory Verse, 1/12/25

“Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.” Hebrews 4:16 NASB

Note: God’s people do not need to fear being turned away, so they never need to hide or omit anything from their prayers. God gives mercy for past failures and grace for present needs. (Jeremiah Study Bible)
