PSALMS 90:14 – SATISFY US IN THE MORNING WITH YOUR UNFAILING LOVE, THAT WE MAY SING FOR JOY AND BE GLAD ALL OUR DAYS. (NIV)

This was among the things Moses prayed to God. We have the privilege to see and learn from his conversation with God. He asks God to satisfy the morning with his unfailing love, so that all the days may be joyful. This shows us that there is power in the morning, power in the start […]

MALACHI 3:16 – THEN THOSE WHO FEARED THE LORD TALKED TO EACH OTHER, AND THE LORD LISTENED AND HEARD. A SCROLL OF REMEMBRANCE WAS WRITTEN IN HIS PRESENCE CONCERNING THOSE WHO FEARED THE LORD AND HONORED HIS NAME. (NIV)

Has there been a time where there was a conversation about something in private, and then that issue comes to the surface or is addressed in public? That is because God has been in that conversation. We may say God can hear and see all things done and said in secret; while that may be […]

HABAKKUK 3:2 – LORD, I HAVE HEARD YOUR FAME; I STAND IN AWE OF YOUR DEEDS, LORD. REPEAT THEM IN OUR DAY, IN OUR TIME MAKE THEM KNOWN; IN WRATH REMEMBER MERCY. (NIV)

Tanzania was recently faced with a cyclone threat with great magnitude, from the Indian Ocean. But as it approached the land, the cyclone’s power weakened, and ended up disappearing completely.

JOHN 19:11 – JESUS ANSWERED, “YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME IF IT WERE NOT GIVEN TO YOU FROM ABOVE. THEREFORE THE ONE WHO HANDED ME OVER TO YOU IS GUILTY OF A GREATER SIN.” (NIV)

Jesus spoke these words to Pilate, who was boasting of the power he had to set Him free or to crucify Him. Jesus, being the most humble person that sets the standards for us all, responds by acknowledging where the power came from. This is true humility; knowing the power and gifts that are at […]

MATTHEW 17:20 – HE REPLIED, “BECAUSE YOU HAVE LITTLE FAITH. TRULY I TELL YOU, IF YOU HAVE FAITH AS SMALL AS A MUSTARD SEED, YOU CAN SAY TO THIS MOUNTAIN, ‘MOVE FROM HERE TO THERE,’ AND IT WILL MOVE. NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU.” (NIV)

Jesus spoke these words to His disciples when they failed to help a boy oppressed by a demon. Notice how He responds by telling them that they failed because they had little faith, and they need to have faith as small as a mustard seed. We can easily miss the difference between the little faith […]
