Bereft, yet Blessed: Lessons from the Life of Anna
Anna’s part of the Christmas account is brief, but it puts an encouraging aspect of God’s character on display and points to the purpose behind the bleakest seasons of our lives.
Preparing My Heart
Christmas is a season of preparation. We buy gifts, hang decorations, and make plans, all in preparation for the celebration of Christ’s first coming to earth. But what about His next coming? How do we prepare for that?
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.
Does it Matter What I Wear?
The topics of dress and modesty can quickly create division, but what does the Bible really say about our outward appearance?
No Shadow of Turning
James 1:17 is my go-to verse when times are good, but what about when trials come? Can we still rest in the Father of Lights from whom all good gifts come when we can’t see His hand of goodness?
God Knows and Cares
Whenever I feel overwhelmed or anxious, Psalm 103 helps me. But one set of truths from this comforting psalm recently came alive to me like never before.
The Blessing Behind Unfulfilled Longings
We all face times when it seems the thing we long for most is inexplicably withheld. It may be during these times that God is preparing our hearts for a blessing we would never expect.
Worth the Effort
As Christians, we are commanded not just to point people to the Savior, but to help other Christians grow in their walk with God. This nurturing can be hard work, but it is not without its rewards.
Putting it into Practice
In the past few posts, this series has addressed the importance God places on being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath, but how is all that to be accomplished? It all comes down to the grace of God.
