Zechariah 4:5-6~ Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

There are times in our spiritual lives when the problems we face are too big for us to handle on our own. Zerubbabel had to face something like this. God sent a prophet to remind him, and through...  more

1 John 5:4~ For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

This is the companion passage to 1 John 2:17, which says, "The world and its desires pass away, but the one who does God's will lives forever." Our destiny and future are not constrained by the confines of our small blue planet. Our future and hope transcend mortality and are linked to our faith in a resurrected and victorious Savio...  more

Matthew 7:1 ~ Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Do you pass judgment? Do you believe you can assess another person's heart's intent? Are you critical and judgmental of the conduct of others? Jesus wants us to understand that we cannot know what someone's heart is thinking. When we are unreasonably harsh or harshly judgmental of others, we are establishing the standard by which God will evaluate us. I don't know about you, but I refuse to trade God's grace for...  more

Psalm 30:5~ For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

All consolation comes from God (cf. 2 Cor. 1). Even though He is relentless in dealing with our sin and resistance, it is for our benefit. It will only persist for a brief time before giving way to joy. Please don't give up if you are going through a period of discipline or are dealing with the harsh repercussions of sin.

Isaiah 57:15~ For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Jesus' entrance to Earth is entirely and completely congruent with the LORD God revealed in the Old Testament. God is exalted and holy. God is just and majestic. Nonetheless, the LORD God is t...  more

Isaiah 43:2-3~ When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

John 17:26~ And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

God is shown to us through Jesus. One of the reasons He does this is so that we can understand who God is and what He values. The most essential item on Jesus' heart in this prayer is clearly that we share His love for one another. Jesus comes to life in us in this way.

Prayer: Almighty God and loving Father, please...  more

John 17:29~ Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

What an incredible collection of powerful truths and promises! We are the Father's gift to Jesus. Jesus desires that we join Him in the magnificent presence of God. Jesus wants us to see and feel His magnificence. The Father has loved Jesus since the beginning ...  more

John 17: 23~ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

How will the rest of the world know that God sent His Son? Through our cooperation. How will the rest of the world know that God genuinely loves us as His children? When we live in harmony with one another. What exactly is that unity? That is more difficult to define. The foundation of un...  more
