The True Blessing
Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Thought: The blessing and approval of our God always brings joy. It is His opinion that really matters. In our 21st century, one of the most significant areas for individuals is their career. What you do with your life, where you work, and your education accomplishments are all important areas to be somebody in the world today. There is an inner motivation that…
God is our Refuge
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…
How can you make a difference?
How can you help fix the wrongs in our world? How can you make a difference? We have so many feelings whirling around in our hearts right now. We want to do something to stop the injustices in our society, but we need to keep in mind what the Bible says… Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. – 1 John 4:7 Love is…
Peace In Troubled Times
Right now, many people are looking for peace. Tucsonians have been looking for peace more during this year, 2020, than ever before. The great provision for all of us is that Jesus told us exactly where we can have that peace; through Jesus Himself. John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Jesus was…
The Key to a Fulfilling Life
Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Have you ever noticed a couple that just started dating? They are the ones at the mall or your favorite hamburger place laughing and having a great time. They are the ones who have that adoration in their eyes when they stare at each other so intently. What makes this couple stand out? I believe…
Coping in a Crazy World
All of us look around and wonder, “What happened to America?” We are so far removed from the country that our forefathers established back in the 1700’s. Disunity would describe our churches, our countries and sadly, our homes. I Thessalonians 3:12 says, “And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you.” I have two thoughts to share in today’s devotion. The first thought is: We…
One Thing Have I Desired
Many churches and Christians across our country have been dramatically affected in the last several months. I was reminded of this verse, Psalm 27:4 “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.” The background on this verse is that the author, David, was on the run…
