God turns your lack into a heavenly abundance
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which He has promised to those who love Him? (James 2:5) When you look at what you lack, it’s easy to lose heart. When you focus on where you fall […]
God has a generous wisdom for you
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5) We live in a complicated world. So many decisions, so many problems, so many responsibilities come to fill our minds, and it can sometimes be so hard to make sense of […]
Jesus doesn’t change on you
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) So often in life, we start a journey of relationship with someone, only to see them change in ways we never expected. Other times, we put our faith in people to be faithful to us, only to have them change their minds down the […]
God gives you discipline to bring you peace
It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, […]
God has prepared a homeland for you
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared for them a city. (Hebrews 11:16) For every Christian, there are those times when we see the world as it is and realize that this is not our […]
Jesus is your guaranteed inheritance
For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. (Hebrews 10:34-35) The world has its values system of what matters and […]
Jesus offered himself for you
How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. (Hebrews 9:14) There were powerful people who conspired against Jesus, but they were not the ones that put Him on the cross. Many enemies wanted […]
Jesus is your conduit of mercy
“For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” (Hebrews 8:12) Guilt is a powerful motivator. It can change habits and open handbags, clean up words and free up wallets. Yet, in the life of a Christian, guilt is not of God. Conviction is the sorrowful sense that something is […]
Jesus is your better hope
For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. (Hebrews 7:18-19) There are many substitute saviors in this life. For the Jewish people, it was […]
Jesus is the anchor of your soul
We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf… (Hebrews 6:19-20a) Of all the storms in this life, perhaps none is more troubling than uncertainty. Bad news and hard times can at least […]
