ADVOCATE
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 When two sides cannot come to an agreement face to face, it is time for the mediator to be brought in. The mediator will act as a bridge, perhaps as a go between for the two parties, or perhaps as a third-party perspective to find some means by which both sides can c

Continual Cheerful Feastful Heart
Proverbs 15:15 “All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15 NIV A wonderful life is a choice, choosing to have a contented and joyful heart. Attitude is far more important than circumstances. Some can be happy in poverty, while others are miserable in prosperity. An evil life filled with trouble, pain, and misery is also a choice. Negative and discontented people choose to let circumstances or fool

Victory Under Grace Of Christ
Romans 6:11-14 “In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are

Rest, Soar, Run To Renewed Hope
Isaiah 40:31 “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31 NIV I love the image of soaring high like an eagle, even though I’m afraid of heights. It speaks of the freedom we have when we trust in God. We don’t have to fear, we will be given new strength. That sounds marvelous, especially when we’re feeling weak. This verse mentions ben

Rest In The God Who Works In Love
Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV Paul isn’t trying to minimize our present suffering. He was, after all, a man who suffered greatly himself. He’s trying to give us hope for a day when that suffering will be swallowed up in something greater. You may not see it in this life, but not a single second of your suffering is wasted. Not one thing happe

Sought Out Spirit Filled Worship
“But a time is coming and is already here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. God is spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”” John 4:23-24 AMP Just a reminder to us today that Jesus is a living water for our soul that will never ever run dry. So to seek Him over and ab

Divine Rest From Worldly Chaos
Psalms 23:1-3 “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.” Psalms 23:1-3 NIV Why does God lead us in paths of righteousness? For His name’s sake. He leads us for our good and ultimately for His glory. Oh, see this. Above all, God glorifies Himself by being a good shepherd to us. God glorifies His Name by guiding

Assured Heart
1 John 3:19 “And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:19 KJV We want to know our faith is real. We want confidence that we belong to Jesus. But there are times when doubts creep in and questions arise. John points us to one piece of evidence that brings assurance: love. When God’s love is at work in our hearts, it begins to show itself in the way we treat others. The presence of that love doesn’t make us perfect,

Hard Lessons
Acts 9:10-17 “In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Yes, Lord,” he answered. The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy peopl

The Value Of A Name
Matthew 1:5 “Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king.” Matthew 1:5 (NKJV) I’ve never been one to dig deep into my own family’s genealogy. It’s not because I don’t find it interesting. In fact, the few things I do know about my heritage is fascinating to me. But there’s one genealogy that captures my attention every time I read it, the genealogy of Jesus. For amidst the ordinary (and not so ordinary) names, there’s

Sent To Tell In All Seasons
Colossians 4:7-8 “Tychicus, a beloved brother, faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord, will tell you all the news about me.” Colossians 4:7-8 (NKJV) So Ray Fowler well known evangelical and writer said Tychicus is the mail man. He is the one who actually delivered this letter from Paul to the Colossians. Now this was no easy task. Paul was in prison in Rome over 1,000 miles away. Tychicus would have to cross Italy on foot, then sail across the Adriatic Sea, cross G
