Master’s Plan
Mark 14:36 “Abba, Father,” he cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
Does life always turn out good for people that remain faithful to God? In this story of Daniel and his friends, it turned out good. Some people would say, what about the disciples of Jesus? Even though they died horrible Read the rest of this entry
Ripening
James 1:2 “… when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”

Verbalize It!
Luke 17: 17 Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” [with emphasis]

The Assurance
Heb.10:23 (AMPC) “So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.”

Rejoice!
Philip. 4:4 “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace…”

Affairs of The Heart

Gen.24:19 “When she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.” 25 “Yes, we have plenty of straw and feed for the camels, and we have room for guests.”
People who excel do more and people who excel, they do more. In Genesis 24, Abraham sent his oldest servant to help pick out a wife for Isaac. So, he prayed and stepped out in faith.

Birthplace
Eccl.5:10 “Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! 11 The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!”
How much is enough? Albert Einstein says, “It’s not that I’m so smart, but I stay with the questions much longer”. So, in line with this learning, we will continue today in the question, how much is enough? William Blake tells us that, “You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.” Read the rest of this entry
Witness
Acts 1:3 “During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.”
Phil.3:10 [NKJV] “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death”. Paul, James, Peter, Thaddeus and all the others had this same cry in their hearts. Read the rest of this entry
