Confront Your Weakness

“David found strength in the Lord his God.” 1 Samuel 30:6 There are few people who can honestly say that they are equipped to meet and handle any situation with ease and confidence. Regardless of what problems you face or how inadequate you might feel in any given situation – be in the business world, on the home front, on the sports field, or even on a social level – you must surrender it in your prayer to God. Ask Him to give you accept this and believe that He can and will do it, you can move forward with...

Stay Close to the Shepherd

“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 Scripture never tries to hide the dark shadows of life-not even death. This Scripture verse describes how God is always with us, even in the valley of shadow of death. Therefore we should fear no evil because God is with us.

“When I was child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.” 1 Corinthians 13:11 Some people’s spiritual journey can be compared to rocking horse: there is a lot of movement, but little progress. They never achieve spiritual maturity because they allow grudges to poison them with bitterness. Allowing a grudge to fester could harm your spirit and hinder your spiritual development. Today you have an opportunity to grow by God’s grace, to put the negative behind you, and to reach for...

The Gracious Gift of Prayer

“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Colossians 4:2 What value do you place on prayer? Do you regard it as a wonderful gift of grace from God, or as unbearable burden? The privilege of prayer is a special gift from God to us. It is God’s personal invitation to you to enter into His sanctuary, to talk to Him and listen when He has something to say to you. Prayer is a discipline that requires preparation and practice. Make time to come quietly into the presence of God. Focus your attention on Jesus. Listen and speak to God...
