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.
Our Home and Father
God is a perfect Father, our place of peace and security. As someone recently described it to me, God is our home and our Father.
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.
Majestic, Yet Personal
The God of the Bible is transcendent, majestic, and holy—And yet, He is also our Shepherd, lovingly, personally involved in our day-to-day lives. For the saved in Christ, keeping both these truths about God in balance is crucial to our relationship with Him.
Everyday Abundance
God created us to enjoy His abundant provision. In this fallen world, we sometimes get so rushed and worried about our day-to-day lives, we miss the moments of abundance God has sprinkled throughout our day.
