The Bible cries out with one recurring truth !!!

Psalm 107:9 (NIV). For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things....... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
The Bible cries out with one recurring truth: 
God quenches the thirst and satisfies the hunger of those who seek him. So often we try to soothe the ache in our soul and fill the emptiness in our heart with what is only a temporary satisfaction that only God's presence can fill. Let's refuse every false satisfaction and seek the LORD! 

When we help those who can't help themselves !!!

Matthew 25:37-40 (NIV). 
''Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'''.....
Thoughts on This Verse...
When we help those who can't help themselves -- those who have gotten themselves in trouble, those who have been falsely accused, those who are facing death -- we are helping Jesus himself. What would Jesus do? He would be helping someone find God out of their hopelessness and despair.

Jesus reveals God to us!!!

John 17:26 (NIV). ''I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.''...... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
Jesus reveals God to us. One of the reasons he does this is so that we can know who God is and what is important to him. Clearly, one of the most important things on Jesus' heart in this prayer is that we share his love for us with each other. In this way, Jesus comes to life in us.

The Spirit intercedes for God's people !!!


Romans 8:27 (New International Version, ©2011)

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

Hebrews 7:25 (New International Version, ©2011)

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

'Fast away the old year passes ...''

John 3:3 (NIV). In reply Jesus declared, ''I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.''...... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
''Fast away the old year passes ...'' 
But we can be new and fresh and clean (cf. 2 Cor. 4:17). Kingdom people are those who have been born fresh and new through the power of the Spirit and the grace of God (cf. John 3:3-7; Titus 3:3-7; John 1:11). So as we live life, with its good things and bad, achievements and failures, successes and disappointments, let's approach each day as Kingdom people. 
God's mercies are new every morning and our lives can be made new every day by the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Yes, we have been born again. 
But each sunrise offers us the opportunity to be made new, to live in a fresh new way, as God's grace rekindles our hopes and the Holy Spirit makes us new as we trust in Jesus our Lord. Inspirational

Have no fear of sudden disaster !!!

Proverbs 3:25-26 (NIV). Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared....... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
What guards your heart from fear? 
Only one protector is sure and faithful; 
his name is the Yahweh -- he alone is the LORD. 
He is our confidence and protector. 


As Paul said so powerfully long ago, prayer and the Holy Spirit are our assurance of God's deliverance. Either we will be delivered from death to serve God powerfully or we will be delivered through death to share with him in eternity. 
We will not be snared when our fate and future remain in God's hands!

Speak up !!!

Proverbs 31:8 (NIV). 
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute....... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
God's people in every era are called to defend the rights of the weak, speak up for the disenfranchised, and protect the lives of those who are vulnerable. This comprehensive call is the great reminder that the blessings, rights, wealth, and power we may have is not ours alone; it is a gift from God to be used to bless those who have no power to speak, to defend, or to protect themselves. 







































He remains faithful !!!

2 Timothy 2:13 (New International Version, ©2010)


    if we are faithless,
   he remains faithful, 
   for he cannot disown himself.

Law of the Lord !!!

Psalm 1:3 (NIV). He [the one who delights in and meditates upon the Law of the Lord] is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers....... 
Thoughts on This Verse... 
Some kinds of earthly delight can feed our hearts for a short time. However, when difficulties come, our hearts will wither in the drought of their false nourishment. On the other hand, delighting in the LORD and in his will for us provides us with ongoing and ever-fresh joy. 
Out of this God-seeking lifestyle come both short-term and long-term benefits as well as a resiliency that withstands life's worst droughts.
