Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” The Lord gave us a list of things in this verse we are to be thinking about, that we are to ponder, that we are to consider. These are worthy things to think upon. We…

Paul, in II Corinthians chapter one, makes it clear that we will have problems and difficult circumstances – “we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us” (v. 8) – Paul lets us know we are going to have perplexing issues and burdens come into our life. Our problems can seem overwhelming – “we were pressed out of measure, above strength” (v. 8) – Paul is telling the Corinthians and us that these problems were…

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Notice that James assumes we will experience trials – He does not say “if” but “when.” This is because Christians must expect trials. Jesus said in John 16:33, These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Some trials come simply because we are…

The Lord Hath His Way Nahum 1:3 “The LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.” I do not know about you, but I am glad 2020 is coming to a close. And one verse that kept coming to my mind throughout the year was this one from Nahum, and especially the phrase, “The LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm.” That is all…

As we impatiently struggle with our impatience, there is much we can learn by looking at a couple of Bible passages that encourage us with this. Psalm 27:14 – “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I…

Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” This is one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible. It is not a very long verse in comparison to others, but it is packed full of great, comforting, and applicable truth. “God is our refuge” – God is the One we can go to when we feel like life is coming at us from all directions. He is the One who will shelter us…
