Finding Thankfulness
The week leading up to Thanksgiving can be exhausting, and it is easy to end up so tired or busy we don’t feel very thankful. God recently convicted my heart with Psalm 18:30 and a truth that renewed my thankfulness to God.
What If?
This world can be a worrisome place. But God can help us turn worry into trust, and make our “what if”s shift into a whole new direction.
God so Loved the World
John 3:16 is a familiar verse to many, but it contains the answers to three important questions about the love of God.
Facing the Impossible
Just nine short months ago, the schoolyear seemed as if it was going to be a string of one impossibility after another, but looking back, I now see that God had a purpose for each one.
Life Redeemed
When I received the precious gift of salvation, Christ redeemed my soul, purchasing my pardon and also my freedom from the penalty of sin. He also redeemed my life.
Give Thanks for God’s Goodness
Many times in Scripture, we are called to “Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good” On the eve of Thanksgiving, what better time to take another look at the goodness of God!
Declaring God’s Goodness
There is no one on earth who can claim that God has not been good to them. His tender mercies are indeed over all His works. So, why is it so hard to come up with things to say about God’s goodness?
Satisfied with God’s Mercy
Psalm 90 has often been called “the Revival Psalm”. It begins with a display of God’s goodness and majesty, contrasted with our own fleeting lifetimes. It speaks of God knowing our iniquities and our secret sins, and then goes on to stress the importance of keeping the brevity of life before us as a motivation to apply our hearts to wisdom.
But then, the Psalmist makes a plea that I find quite striking.
Certainty in the Midst of Chaos
When we look around this world and all we see is uncertainty, instability, and chaos, what’s an anxious Christian to do? Look to the only source of certainty: God Himself.
