One thing about the Lord is that we can be honest with Him. In Psalm 6:1-10, David opened up his heart to the Lord. He was weary from crying and asked the Lord for mercy. Let us not give up seeking God.

The other thing I purpose to hold onto is hope in God. Difficult times are not easy to bear, but when we are in His will, His grace abounds and hope keeps us looking forward to deliverance, because Jehovah is a loving God. Lamentations 3:16-26.

Our attitude and general disposition going forward needs to be based on our understanding of God and our relationship with Him. Who is God to me? How do I relate with Him? Am I growing in my walk with Him? Do I hear Him, do I follow where He leads […]

To fit into Moses’ shoes and lead the children of Israel, Joshua needed courage. Some of the things God is calling us to do with Him require courage. We can draw courage from knowing that we are in God’s will and that there is nothing too difficult for Him. Joshua […]

Just to reiterate the point made yesterday from 2 Chronicles 15:2 about the consequences of our choices, the rest of the verses in that chapter (verse 3-19) show how Asa and his people purposed to seek God. God granted them rest. So determined were they to live for Him that […]

Let us not forget that there is also an element of choice in all this. We have the privilege of free will concerning our lives. The words of prophet Azariah to King Asa in 2 Chronicles 15:2 echo this very well. My prayer is to constantly seek God so that […]

In Job 5:12-16 & 24, Eliphaz, as he falsely accuses Job of wrongdoing, he mentions some words of encouragement for anyone who may be feeling aggrieved or oppressed. May these words comfort and encourage you.

I don’t know what you are trusting God for, but one thing that I know is that nothing is impossible for Him. The critical thing is to be in His will. Acts 17:24-30 paints the picture of God the creator as one who created the world and by one man […]
