Committing My Works Unto the Lord
I have always thought of committing my works to the Lord as a sort of putting them in His hands in terms of the results, but when put in context, there is another very important sense in which we commit our works to the Lord.
Drawing Near to Our Personal God
It is easy to be so busy doing things for the Lord, that we lose sight of the fact that He is not just a vague entity, but a real Person, who desires us to spend time with Him.
Quick to Forget
The account of Lot’s rescue from Sodom is one full of God’s mercy, and yet Lot—as you and I often do—showed himself quick to forget God’s deliverance when faced with the next steps.
Red-Letter Treasure
It is a good thing for God’s Word to become familiar, but often that familiarity makes it all to easy to take for granted the gift of having God’s own words available to us.
To Walk with God
The Old Testament frequently has genealogical lists of individuals, the details of their lives often following a specific pattern. But once in a while, God includes an individual whose life doesn’t follow the pattern.
Ending and Beginning
The beginning of a new year can be an exciting time, but we can also find ourselves feeling overwhelmed with the need to begin well. But following God in the new year doesn’t have to be complicated!
Sheltered Within the Rock
We often assume peace is a result of things going well, and victory comes from effort, but the Bible tells us that peace and victory are both gifts from God, and both come from resting in the shelter of His presence.
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.
Make it Count
We each have a set number of days on this earth. The challenge for the Christian is to make our time count for Christ.
