SALVATION STRENGTH
Psalm 118:13-14 You pushed me violently, that I might fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. Psalm 118:13-14, NKJV In verse thirteen we learn that the author was pushed hard to the point of falling. This wasn't merely an accidental nudge or a bump, but a violent action intended to knock the author over in order that he might not get up again. The enemies that surrounded him in the prior verses were seeking his destructi

NOTHING TO COMPARE
Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18, NKJV The world in which we live is a fallen world, a place of suffering and trials and times of heartaches and problems, a life of difficulties and sickness, a season of disappointments and death. Afflictions and anguish stalk our path like a hungry pack of wolves, and they are no respecter of persons or position, clime o

WATER OF LIFE
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." John 4:10, NKJV In biblical times, where there was no water, there was no life. People died during droughts. Likewise, unless the living water of the Spirit is flowing in us, we and our churches will have an absence of spiritual life and little vitality. Just as in the desert, no water equ

THE BLESSING
Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26, NKJV God is for you. I can't think of a more powerful, more hopeful, more truthful statement to declare! We’re never without hope. We can believe God for the next moment. We can trust Him for what we need. The circumstances around us might feel uncertain. But we can stand on the certaint

SOLD OUT
Acts 7:59-60 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts 7:59-60, NIV In the middle of his death, Stephen exemplified the character and fortitude of one sold out and abandoned to Christ. The only explanation for such a display of God's love during this unbelievable time is that Stephen had learned how to allow his sp

EVERLASTING LIFE
John 6:39-40 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:39-40, NKJV Jesus simply and plainly states that everyone who looks to Him and believes in Him shall have eternal life. Is it really that simple? Can it be that simp

I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Ezekiel 36:26-27, NKJV The heart with its intentions is the eternal core of our being and the precious part of us that distinguishes us as creatures made in God's image; only God and human beings have a spiri

GOD'S HANDIWORK
Psalm 19:1-2 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2, NIV We don’t always need words to get our message across. The skies "pour forth speech" and "reveal knowledge" but have no words; nevertheless, "their voice goes out into all the earth." God's handiwork is revealed to all. From the busiest, crowded city to the remotest, inaccessible places of

SPIRITUAL WEAPONS
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, NKJV Our commitment to Christ is the key to unlocking the ability to pull down the spiritual strongholds of Sata

LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME
Psalm 90:1 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12, NKJV Too often we think in terms of years and make plans for the far distant future, and yet we are instructed to live one day at a time and not to even worry ourselves about the needs of tomorrow, for each day has sufficient trouble of its own. We should not only reflect on the brevity of our time here on earth and recognize that our times are in God's hands and that He has scheduled
