Clinging to God’s Mercies
Being a Christian doesn’t make us immune from the emotional ups and downs of life. So what is a Christian response to emotions that overwhelm or make life look bleak?
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.
Fed and Led
Psalm 74 gives us the sad story of God’s people forgetting over and over what He has done for them. And yet, when they do turn to Him, He is always there to deliver. The final verse of this psalm points to a powerful truth about God’s guidance and provision.
Our Transcendent God
What does it mean that God is transcendent?
Unexpected
Life can have its twists and turns, and often we find ourselves faced with circumstances that are wholly unexpected, and sometimes unwanted. But as Christians, we can face the unexpected with peace and joy because we know that behind it all is a perfectly wise, loving God who has already promised to use all things for our good and His glory.
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.
Tasting God’s Goodness
As Christians, we know that the way to be close to God is to spend time with Him, praying and reading the Bible. But that time with God accomplishes more than we might think.
Delighting the Lord
The Bible tells us much about how we can delight in the Lord, but this week I ran across a passage that challenged me with the truth that it is possible for God to delight in us!
A Glimpse of God
There are many passages in the Bible that give us a glimpse of what God is like, and this post takes just one of those passages, walking through it slowly, considering each facet mentioned.
