What the Lord Knows
We often talk about the fact that God knows everything, but have you ever stopped to ponder the specific things God tells us that He knows?
The Lord is Good in Your Waiting
Lamentations 3:25 tells us that the Lord is good to those who wait and seek Him. This verse has been a comfort during many times of waiting over the years, but God recently used it to point out an incorrect assumption I was making about what the verse was saying about the goodness of God towards His waiting children.
Inseparable Love
Romans 8 contains some of the most encouraging thoughts about the love of God. But there is a verse in the middle that has always perplexed me—until now.
Is God Still Good When Things Go Wrong?
It is easy to believe in God’s goodness when it matches our definition of what is good, but what about when things go wrong? When we find ourselves suffering for what seems like no good reason, can we trust His goodness still? Job and Jeremiah give us the answer.
Good and Perfect Gifts
God is the source of every good and perfect gift in our lives. But what can we do when life gets hard and His gifts seem lacking?
When Christians Don’t Behave Like Christians
Even the unsaved know how Christians ought to behave, and when a fellow Christian fails to live out their faith, it has devastating consequences. So how are we to respond when a brother or sister in Christ doesn’t act like a Christian?
Pursued
The goodness and mercy of God are two attributes we experience each and every day we live. But what does it mean that “goodness and mercy shall follow me” ?
A Table Prepared… Where?
The illustration of sheep with Shepherd is set aside for the picture of a banqueting table, carefully prepared for us…but in a place we would never have thought possible. The table in the presence of our enemies showcases the majestic triumph of salvation and the love and generosity of our Savior.
Rod and Staff: Part Two
A shepherd’s staff has many uses, but in the context of the Lord our Shepherd, it is a beautiful picture of how He guides and gathers us with His Spirit.
