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”. Sweat here does not refer to your body’s perspiration, but your self-reliance or self-effort. God does […]

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 […]
Who Do You Say Jesus Is?
Mark 8:29 29He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.” Do you know that how you see Jesus determines what you receive from Him? If you see Jesus as your healer, you will receive healing. If you see Jesus as your refuge and […]
Right Place, Right Time
Ecclesiastes 9:11 11… the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. God’s Word tells us that being faster, stronger and wiser does not automatically make […]
THE PROVIDENCE OF THE TRIFLE
“O Lord, the God of my Master Abraham, send me, I pray Thee, good speed this day.., thereby shall I know that Thou hast shewed kindness to my master.”— Gen_24:12-14. FROM THIS beautiful incident we can learn much of God’s guidance of the soul. Evidently Eliezer, the faithful servant, had absorbed something of his master’s […]
LIFE IS WORTH WHILE
“Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.”— Col_3:17. NOTHING IS more disastrous than aimless drift! God endows each soul for a distinct purpose. Probably in every life there is a lucid moment, when we take our bearings, and there flashes before us a glimpse of the […]
NUMBERING OUR DAYS
“Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. O satisfy us early with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” Psa_90:12-14. THIS PSALM was evidently composed towards the end of the wilderness wanderings, and records some of the sadness which must have oppressed the […]
THE WISE USE OF MONEY
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.”– 2Co_9:7-8. WE MUST not […]
THE WISE USE OF TIME
“Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”– Eph_5:15-16 (R.V.). GOD DESIRES to give each life its full development. Of course, there are exceptions; for instance, in some cases the lessons and discipline of life are crowded into a very brief space of […]
LOST OPPORTUNITIES
“He found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”– Heb_12:17. “O Jerusalem …. how often would I have gathered thy children together …. and ye would not!”– Mat_23:37. THE GREEKS represented Opportunity as bald, with no lock of hair by which she could be laid hold of as she turned away […]
