Honest Prayer
2 Samuel 13:30-33 “While they were on the way, news came to David, ‘Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left.’ Then the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the earth. And all his servants who were standing by tore their garments. But Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother,…

The All-Wise King
2 Samuel 14:20 “In order to change the course of things your servant Joab did this. But my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God to know all things that are on the earth.” Why do you pray? What is your objective in all of it? God has opened access to…

Glorious Omniscience
Colossians 2:2-3 “. . . the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” I have a confession – I think I’m a news junkie.

The Way Things Seem
Hebrews 12:9-11 “We have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?

Hebrews 5:11 “About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.” Sometimes I wonder what it must have been like for Jesus, Who is omniscient, to speak to people that weren’t interested enough to listen to what He was saying. So much of what He…

Glorious Prologue
Matthew 6:9 “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” When you pray, how often do you begin your prayers in the way Jesus told us to? Are the first words out of your mouth about your problems, your needs, and the problems and needs of others, or is it about the greatness of our God? …

Who Knows?
Genesis 18:25 “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” I don’t know about you, but there are many things about God and the Word of God that I don’t understand. That bothers some people – a lot! Does it bother you? I suppose one way of looking at this is…

Spiritual Wisdom and Understanding and Its Source
Colossians 1:9 “And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” If one is filled with the knowledge of God’s will, as Paul prayed for the Colossian church in the verse above, what does such…

Is there a better way?
John 21:6 “He said to them, ‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.” Have you ever thought about how little you really know about just about anything? The way…
