I Will Lift My Eyes to God, Part 1

How should a nation deal with national tragedy (recent hurricanes, mass shootings, and COVID-19)? Today it is typically the blame game. We blame someone (the weatherman, President Trump). We blame something (guns). We blame the government. On a personal level, how do we deal with personal tragedy and trials? It is a fact of Christian…

In “Prison” with Joyful Trust

Let us remember that if self-pity is allowed to set in, that is the end of us—until it is cast utterly from us. Joseph just turned over everything in joyous trust to God, and so the keeper of the prison turned over everything to Joseph. Lord Jesus, when the prison doors close in on me,…

Rogers, What Happens When You Worry

“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” ((1 Peter 5:7)) What happens when you worry? You bring tomorrow’s difficulty into today. God didn’t give you grace for tomorrow’s difficulties. He only gives you grace for today. When you reach into tomorrow’s troubles, you overload today’s circuit. Worry doesn’t take the sorrow…

Spurgeon: Our Unchanging God

“The Christian knows no change with regard to God. He may be rich to-day and poor to-morrow; he may be sickly to-day and well to-morrow; he may be in happiness to-day, to-morrow he may be distressed—but there is no change with regard to his relationship to God. If he loved me yesterday, he loves me…

Wiersbe: Waiting

Waiting is one of the hardest things for me to do. I would rather work than wait. Somehow I always end up in the wrong lane or the wrong line, and I’m forced to wait. My impatience is probably why the Lord reminds me of verse 20: “Our soul waits for the Lord; He is…

Wiersbe: The Banner of Faith

Our faith is in Jesus Christ, and we should not be afraid to let people know about it. “We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners!” (Ps 20.5). In other words, we do not hesitate to wave the banner of faith because He will…

Faith in the Right Place

Note the following from the book of Daniel, “Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. ” ((Daniel 10:12–13))”“But the…

Charnock: The Delight of Trust

Because people delight in that in which they trust, [turn] from all other objects of delight to God as the true object. “Delight yourself in the Lord”; place all your pleasure and joy in him. Trust is the spring of joy and of supplication. When we trust him for sustenance and preservation, we will receive…

Adrian Rogers: Faith vs Worry

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” – Philippians 4:6 Do you ever worry? Don’t look around and point your finger at someone else. Do you ever worry—even the least little bit? And yet the Bible so clearly tells us…
