How to love God

Eternity has been revealed to all, but God has prepared things that only those that love Him will experience. Be sure to understand His definition of how to love Him. Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood...

Expectations

Expectation without patience disappoints; but waiting on the Lord perfects His promise. ______________ Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. James 1:4  But let patience have her perfect work,...

God’s Ways

God’s ways are not our ways: Don’t discount the value of your enemies; you progress spiritually not in spite of them, but because of them. God hardens their weakness to strengthen you for His one purpose for your life: Your ultimate sanctification. Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not...

Knowing God vs. Knowing about Him

Many just know about Him. However, the few who invest the time to know Him intimately are granted eternal life. Don’t take my word for it, take His: Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with...

The fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is critical; it is the source of all wisdom and understanding: the framework that builds the house. Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever....

Reason with the Lord

You can’t reason with the Lord if you don’t invest time in a relationship with Him. He holds the answers to life; only when you join your spirit with His will He reveal them. Isaiah 1:18-20 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins...

God set the standard

God set the standard; value what He values. Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Mark 8:36 For what shall it...

Be Still

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth....
