Whose Fighting For You?
And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord…The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” – Exodus 14:13–14 Lately I have had to meditate on this Scripture a lot and read it repeatedly in my devotional time. Life seemed to …
Are You Compelled?
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. – 2 Corinthians 5:14 For Christ’s love compels us. If it is all about our love for Christ, if it is all about us loving Christ more to obtain from Him, how can Christ’s love compel us? …
How Is Love Expressed?
I suspect you would never intend this, but this is what happens. When you attempt to live by your own religious plans and projects, you are cut off from Christ, you fall out of grace. Meanwhile we expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit. For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor …
Is God For You?
Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? God is for us. We are covered by the blood of Jesus. We are righteous through His blood. There is no sin, no circumstance, no person, standing between God and us. And if God is …
Are You The Only One?

Where Is Your Trust?
Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. David, who was surrounded by people who wanted to kill him, could still say “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” If he could, we could too. Whenever things aren’t going exactly like I’d like, I say, “Lord, I don’t …
Casting or Carrying?
Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. God will never permit us to be moved. He will sustain us when we cast our burden upon Him. Too many times we carry the burdens in our lives instead of taking them …
Are You On Tomorrow?
Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Too many times we are thinking about, focusing on, tomorrow when we are still on today. We worry about how we will overcome this sickness, stretch our money until next paycheck. …
Are You Worried?
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather …
