The source of great peace
Psalm 119:165 “Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.” What’s better – anxiety, fear, depression, turmoil – or GREAT PEACE? What’s the key to the latter?

Order
Numbers 2:34 “Thus did the people of Israel. According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, each one in his clan, according to his fathers’ house.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” It is interesting to…

Seeing wonders

The countenance
Psalm 42:11 “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” One of the outward signs of the condition of the heart is our countenance. It’s an obvious sign of our…

The waves
Psalm 42:5-7 “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? . . . Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.” Job 42:8-11 “Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb,…

Abundant life?
John 10:10 “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” What does it mean to have an abundant life? After all, Jesus said that the reason He came was to give such a life to us. But then when you think about it, many Christians around the world are enduring incredible suffering,…

Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.” Do you want to hear some really good news today?
