Meditations on "Faith"

We do a disservice to others when we continually do things for them that, with instruction, they can do for themselves.

We need to discipline ourselves to rejoice in the encouragement that God’s word brings and embrace the unfailing love of God.

What seems impossible for us to believe is only impossible when God is not involved

We often give up on God before His plan for us, in His perfect timing, takes effect. Jesus’ death on Good Friday came before His resurrection on Easter Sunday. Things looked hopeless for Jesus’ followers during the time between those two events, but God was still in charge.

Few people are more aware of their need for God’s help to restore them to sanity than recovering addicts. What a relief it was to turn to God who was ready, willing, and able to receive and restore us.

If we ground ourselves in God’s will, He will take care of the rest.

As we make conscious contact with God a priority, He will faithfully change our desires.

We can’t “fight our demons” on our own but when we ask our all-powerful God to help us, He will give us so much more power to do so.

We won’t necessarily understand WHY we are at peace, but we will recognize a calmness and a serenity in a deep place within us that wasn’t there before.

Do we recognize how much Jesus suffered so that we could be set free from the power of sin?

In order to claim the promises of God we need to know the details of our inheritance as recorded in the Bible.

What will we do today to welcome God’s truth into our lives and allow it to give us insight for moving forward?
