Philippians 2:13 (NKJV) for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. What a war we fight inside. As Christians, God lives in us but our old sin-cursed flesh fights Him tooth and nail for control. If we would simply to submit to Him in...
2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV) The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. God keeps His promises. On His timetable. Sometimes we mistake His...
Isaiah 30:19 (NKJV) For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you. Unlike flawed humans who sometimes don’t hear us, can’t hear us or purposely...
Psalm 34:18 (NKJV) The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. It was providential that this verse was next on my list today. I experienced a great example of this verse just this week. I spoke with a family who had...

Psalm 121:7 (NKJV) The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. Many people feel all alone. In the midst of co-workers, family events, even big churches… they feel alone. Sometimes it is self-imposed because they make no effort to reach out...
John 11:25 (NKJV) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. In the movie “Braveheart”, William Wallace says “Every man dies. Not every man really lives.” Sounds good but it’s not Biblical. First,...
1 Timothy 6:6 (NKJV) Now godliness with contentment is great gain. God promises “great gain” if we are Godly and content. Simple formula, difficult to achieve… not because God made it hard but because we are a very discontent and ungodly people. GODLINESS: submitting...
Proverbs 6:23 (NKJV) For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, As humans we naturally look in all sorts of places to “find out what to do and how to live”. It’s natural and good to want direction, guidance,...
