Isaiah 40:12 “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand…or weighed the mountains in a balance?” There is nothing like floating on a lake that is 200 feet deep to give you an overwhelming feeling of insignificance. The fact that a device with less than one yard of orange material is all…
Psalm 61:2 “From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” I have a very real aversion to liars, I just hate being around them. Adulterers? I have better ways to spend my time than being around…
Hebrews 13:15 “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name.” There are lots of things in life that we sacrifice everyday. We sacrifice time with our families to pursue our jobs or hobbies. We sacrifice our money to provide ourselves with…
Hebrews 12:28-29 “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” Our worship cannot be what we decide it will be. Our Lord asks for a certain kind of worship – it must…
Romans 5:1, 2 “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.” We sing the words that “You are the Reason”, but do we stop to really think about why…
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Consider a scale – on one side you have your worries wrapped in prayer…
Romans 10:9 NIV: …If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It’s that simple. There is no magic potions that need to be concocted, no magic words. The Bible is full of prophesies in the Old Testament about…
Ephesians 5:1-2 “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” I’m trying to imagine being an imitator of God, and my normally racing mind is at a standstill because…
Psalm 95:1,2 “ Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” You read the real estate ads that say: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Maybe the watchword of the Christian needs to…
