Going Through
Heb.4:15-16 “This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.
This Jesus that tells us not to stop calling had to go through this Himself. Please read Matt.26:36-46.

Jesus has been there. Read the rest of this entry

Confident Petition
Gen.32:24-26 “…Jacob was all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. When the man saw that he would not win the match… the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking!” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

Will You?

Jabez was born dis-advantaged. But Jabez asked and God turned his story around. Will you ask?

He will not withhold anything good from them that love Him. Read the rest of this entry

Get an education. It is reckless to think you can replace getting Read the rest of this entry
