The Lord Provides Safety, Prov 21:31
We must look to the Lord for safety. Looking to the Lord for safety doesn’t mean that we ignore safe practices. It is prudent to keep a gun on safe. It is prudent to keep valuable possessions in a safe. It is prudent to wear a personal flotation device when on the water. It is […]
Prayers Night and Day, Lk 2:36-37
This week, I have had two conversations with people who have expressed a sincere interest in what they could “do” for God. We have been instructed in James to be doers of the word, and not hearers only. The nature of many Christians is that they want to do something for God. They are, as […]
Take Away the Wicked, Prov 25:4-5
In Prov 25:4-5 we find two verses connected by a common theme of taking something away to make what remains something better.

The World’s Greatest Father, Jn 10:29
Today is Father’s Day, the day that we honor fathers. If your father is still living, you might send him a card, give him a gift, call him on the phone, or visit him, personally. If he is deceased, you might still honor his memory by reflecting on his influence in your life and appreciating […]
Blessings of Trusting the Lord, Ps 84:12
Ps 84:12 says, “O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.” What are some of the blessings of trusting the Lord? When you trust in the Lord: You’ll be sure – Prov 3:5-6. “Trust in the Lord… and he shall direct thy paths.” When we trust in the Lord with all […]
