Answered Prayer
I think that many times God answers our prayers according to our heart’s desire rather than what we ask for because we think it will meet our heart’s desire. Besides telling God how He can meet our needs, we often ask for things that will make us comfortable where we are instead of transforming us.…

New Life
How much do we think about the fact that we’ve been given a new life in Christ? How much do we depend on the power of this new life to change us and the way we live here and now? So many of these truths I have known ever since I can remember. And even…

Transformed Really?
Another area where I realized I was acknowledging truth but not believing to the point of expecting was the degree of sanctification and transformation that’s possible here and now. Peter is such a great example of this. He went from someone who cut off ears and was one minute sharing amazing revelation (You are the…

One With Trinity
John 17:20-24 I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word (the chain of witnesses to us goes all the way back to the apostles); That they all may be one as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may…

Jesus came to Serve; Continues to Serve
Eph. 2:7 That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. This verse caught my attention a few months back, and I was once again staggered by the more than you could ask, think, or imagine goodness of God (Eph. 3:20).…

Surprising Therefores
Isa. 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; Vs 9 this is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of the LORD; Vs 12 .…

Worry – Pride and Humility
Do not fret. It’s our default but God tells us how to do what He requires in 37:1-8. And here’s the powerful motivation. Fretting leads only to evil. From The Songs of Jesus by Timothy Keller, pages 72-73 “Neither repress nor vent your frustrations but redirect them to God. Learn to find your heart’s deepest…

Therefore, Pray
Matt. 6:8 For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. . . Therefore, pray. My default would be to think therefore, I don’t need to ask. But our ways are not His ways. I think “therefore pray,” are going to be big words for me this year. In this…

For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do. Joshua 1:9 CSB Sharing what you meditate on helps you remember, helps you internalize, helps…
