God is Kind
Did you ever wonder how God will respond every time you commit mistakes? How will He treat you every time you miss His instructions? Or how will He react when you are in pain? In 1 John 4:8, it was stated that God is love, and in 1 Corinthians 13, it says that one of the attributes of love is kindness. This means that our God is a kind God. Every time we sin, He will never respond with a condemning voice. He will never highlight our mistakes nor give us the punishment we deserve. God would respond with kindness. Every time we fail to notice His blessings and become…

Those Who Are In The Realm Of The Flesh Cannot Please God
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:6-8, NIV Since we live in this world, we are sometimes governed by standards and desires that will only satisfy our flesh. We seek temporary riches instead of focusing on Heavenly things. When the flesh governs our mind, it means that the worries and desires of this world occupy it. It’s okay to dream of a…

God Gives Us The Chance To Choose
We are not robots. Every day, we are given the chance to make choices in life. All of us are given the freedom to do the things that we want. It’s just sometimes, we feel like we are trapped, because it’s so difficult to choose the right decision. We just can’t find the strength to move because our fears and pains fully consume us. Nevertheless, God didn’t take away that freedom from us. It’s one of the best gifts He gave to us. This truth is very important for us to remember. We will go through situations in life when we feel like someone is controlling us, but in reality,…

God’s Right Hand Will Sustain You
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great. Psalms 18:34-35, NIV In life, we will go through difficult battles, some of which cannot be seen. Most of the time, the hardest battle happens on the inside. These are the struggles that people never really notice, not unless they intentionally listen to us. We somehow hide these things because we are scared that people might judge or condemn us. In this verse, David describes how God will help us overcome our battles. He is there to…

Seek wisdom and Understanding
The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. Proverbs 19:8, NIV In this world full of information and earthly standards, we are reminded to seek God’s wisdom. We may gain knowledge from what we see and experience, but at the end of the day, it’s wisdom that will help us make the right decision. When we get wisdom, it means that we love our lives. It’s one of the best ways for us to discover God’s will and purpose. So, let’s try to gain the wisdom of God. In everything we do, let’s seek His ways because He alone can guide us. He…

When You Find It Hard To Ask For Help
Are you going through something difficult right now, and you find it hard to ask for help? It’s clear that you need someone who will listen to you, but you just don’t have the courage to do it. Perhaps you tried reaching out before, but no one really stayed with you, and that pain created fear in your heart. From then on, you kept everything on your own, thinking that life is much better if you hide the deepest wounds in your heart. But then, they are just days when you want to express everything. They are just instances when you really want to pour out the heavy burdens in…

Examine The Word Of God Every Day
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men. Acts 17: 11-12, NIV Before Paul arrived at Berea, they first went to the synagogues in Thessalonica. They experienced great persecution after they shared the gospel there, and a group of Jews attacked the believers. So, Paul escaped and went to Berea. There, he continued to preach the gospel in their synagogues. The author of…
