No is an Answer
Have you ever felt like your prayer went unanswered, or been disappointed by God’s response to your requests?
Affliction or a Merry Heart?
In Proverbs 15, there is an interesting contrast between the “afflicted” and those with a “merry heart.” At first glance, it might seem that the verse is dealing with circumstances, things beyond our control that have such an influence on our emotions. But a closer look reveals a deeper truth about being a child of God in a world where circumstances don’t always go our way.
Leaping in Faith
The account of Peter and John and the healing of the lame man at the temple was always a favorite of mine as a child. But that lame man showed great faith that can be an example and encouragement to us today.
Thirsty or Thriving?
In the book of Jeremiah, God puts on display two choices and their results—the same two choices you and I face in our lives today.
What the Bible Says About Worry
Do you ever worry about things? In a sense, worry comes naturally to us, the same way any sin does, but what does the Bible have to say about it?
The Promise and the Person
When the man came to Jesus in John 4, asking for his son to be healed, he believed Jesus’ promise. But that wasn’t the end of the story.
Praying with No Strings Attached
Jacob isn’t a Biblical character we typically take for a role model, but there is one moment in his life that gives us a glimpse of maturity—and yes, even an example to follow.
Tried by the Word
It is easy to assume that Joseph never wavered, never wrestled with his faith during his many afflictions, but Psalm 105 gives us a glimpse into a behind-the-scenes struggle that you and I also face at times.
The Wrong Question
When we face difficulties or trials in life, we often find ourselves asking questions. But all too often, the questions we ask are not the right questions.
