    Our Obligation

    "The LORD our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions. Deuteronomy 29:29 NLT The invasion of Canaan was to begin shortly. God’s...

    Team Lift

    Blessed be the Lord! Day after day he bears our burdens; God is our salvation. Selah Psalm 68:19 CSB Heavy boxes at the home improvement store often spot a black-and-yellow Team Lift Label. For the safety of what’s inside—the box and your body—you’ll want to enlist another person’s help in...

    Say What?

    And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. Luke 9:33 KJV Since the apostle Peter once fished for a living, Roman...

    Psalmist’s Prayer Guide

    Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. Praise God, who did not...

    Trustworthy Predictions

    The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. Deuteronomy 18:15 NIV How often predictions are proven wrong. Economists prophesy growth, but output falls. Sportswriters back a team for the championship, but it...

    God Is Still In Control

    Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power. Psalm 66:3 NLT Today’s scripture must be read in ultimate terms.

    "You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, [so] the LORD your God chastens you.

    Skip the Self-Preservation

    "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37 NKJV It’s human nature to judge others. Fear drives this instinct to protect ourselves. We tell ourselves that others will always choose what’s best for them over...

    That’s A Tough One

    "But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Luke 6:35 NKJV Love your enemies. Is this the hardest thing Jesus told us to do? Maybe. But this command...

    Bread with an Edge

    But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' " Luke 4:4 NKJV To be human is to be tempted.

    Living the Good News

    as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the...

    Take a Breath

    I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God [is] my defense. My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see [my desire] on my enemies. Psalm 59:9-10 NKJV Psalm 59 has a violent edge, as David calls for God to show no mercy to those who attack the innocent and slander God’s...

    Channel the Anger
