Ruth 3:18 Then she said, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day.” God does not want you to “sweat”.

Build Yourself Up — Spirit, Soul And Body
1 Corinthians 14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself… Many Charismatics believe that when you speak in tongues, you edify or build up your spirit man. Well, that is only one-third true. The Bible does not say that the speaker edifies his spirit. No, it says that the speaker “edifies himself”. This means […]
Divinely Arranged, Beautifully Timed
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time… Nothing happens to you by accident when you have God in your life.

Called From Your Mother’s Womb
Galatians 1:15 15… God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, Beloved, you are not an accident with no destiny. God has called you from your mother’s womb. You have a special calling and a destiny in Christ, and it is all by His grace! There are Christians who are […]

Deuteronomy 28:12 12The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. In the Bible, rain usually speaks of blessings. Even today, Israelis thank […]
