“There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman.” (Proverbs 30:18-19) When are you most in your element? An eagle in the sky knows what to do instinctually. They are in their element and soar above everything, taking…..
“Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. ‘Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?’ he asked Peter. ‘Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh [human nature] is weak [lacks the necessary resources].’” (Matthew 26:40-41) We have a spirit inside of us. It is created by the breath of God and gives us life (James 2:26). We know that it connects and has qualities similar to the Holy…..
“I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.” (Philemon 6) When we become believers and receive Christ as our Savior, it doesn’t end there. There is a growing understanding we need to have related to what Christ wants from us and what we have available in Him. Hebrews 1:3-4 says, “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the…..
My eyes and My heart will always be there – Bing images 1 Kings 9:2-3, “The Lord appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. The Lord said to him: ‘I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple which you have built, by putting My Name there forever. My eyes and My heart will always be there.” (NIV) Gibeon, at the time, was the most…..
“As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, ‘Have mercy on us, Son of David!’ When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ ‘Yes, Lord,’ they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, ‘According to your faith let it be done to you’; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, ‘See that no one knows…..
“And some of the scribes said to themselves, ‘This man is blaspheming!’ And Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, ‘Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins’—then He said to the paralyzed man, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher and go home.’ And he got up…..
I was going to leave my brother for dead. I took his coat he loved so much away from him and I threw him in a deep pit. He would get me in trouble all the time and our father always liked him best and gave him special privileges. No more having to put up with him. All my brothers helped me do it and after, we sat down to eat and celebrate his long-awaited death. After hearing him crying…..
We need to come to the Lord daily and look to Him. “But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, or ear heard, not have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) We have been born again as Spirit into heavenly realms of glory. We no longer have the spirit of the world with the wisdom…..
He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act.” (Exodus 2:25) How does God determine when it is time to act? In this case, the Lord heard the cry of His people and His heart went out to them. Another translation said that he was concerned about them. So just like a good parent who sees their child in need, the Lord intervenes sometimes because we have a need. He sees us struggling and…..
He is my Lot in Life. When Lot left with Abraham to the land of Canaan, it does not mention that Lot had much. He had came to Haran with Terah, Abram’s father. Abram left with his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot and all his wealth (Genesis 12:4). As Lot left Haran with Abram, under this covenant that the Lord was making with Abram to give the land to Abram and his descendants, he prospered immensely. He became so wealthy…..
