God is good! He’s the source of all things good. We can look to God to be the standard of goodness- the one and only perfect role model. Life can get uncertain and we may waiver in our faith, but it is very important that we keep in mind that God wants to do good things for us and provide good things to us. God is so good that He loves to bless us in order to bring glory to his name and also for us to help in build his kingdom. We are blessed to be a blessing! He even likes to bring good out of seemingly bad things that occur. [Read more…]
Promises To Us From God
Promises to us from God can be found in numerous places throughout the Bible. In fact, there are thousands of promises mentioned in the Bible! Part of trusting in God is knowing that He will never break His promises to us. The Bible tells us that God sincerely means what He says and will never let us down.
My covenant I will not break,
Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips. – Psalm 89:34
Doing Your Best- 1 Corinthians 10:31
A new year is a great time to make any necessary changes in our lives so that we can strive for excellence all around. By following God’s word, we are reminded to do our best in all that we do. The Bible says a lot about work. Some people work from home, some work at home raising their children, and some go to an office or workplace building of some type each day. It is important to note that we all work in some way or another. It’s ALL meaningful to God! No one form of work is too big or small in God’s eyes! The Bible says the following about work:
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might
(Ecclesiastes 9:10 NIV)
Strength In Weakness
God provides strength in weakness to us. It’s a fact that as human beings, we lack resources and power on our own. The good news is that God is all-powerful and He is mighty! When we feel weak, it is the perfect opportunity to ask God for help! Whenever we call, God shows up eagerly to help us and to reveal things that benefit us, no matter what position we find ourselves in. He is worthy of the highest praise! In the Bible, Paul dealt with feelings of weakness. We are comforted in God’s words to Paul:
My grace is enough for you, because power is made perfect in weakness.”
(2 Corinthians 12:9 CEB)
In the verse above, Jesus mentions that His grace is sufficient for us. Grace is defined as: the free and unmerited favor of God. Grace is something given to us; a gift through faith, not something that we have to earn. God’s gift of grace is enough to help us through any challenge we face in our lives. God has unlimited resources that He makes available to us when we ask for His help. [Read more…]
