Remembering critical things
John 16:2-4 “Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.” Jesus told His disciples the things…

Decisions
Numbers 9:22-23 “Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel remained in camp and did not set out, but when it lifted they set out. At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they set out. They kept…

To the “know it all”
Psalm 119:130 “The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.” No one likes a know-it-all. You know the kind. You can’t tell them anything, because they are so enthralled with how much more they know than anyone else that they have no interest in hearing from those who are “lesser.” It…

Knowing God
John 15:21 “But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.” Perspective, how we see things, means everything. This includes, first and foremost, how we see God. Before we actually know God, we can think we know a great deal about Him, but our…

The mind of Christ
Psalm 119:73 “Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.” It is impossible to put into words the awesomeness of the Word of God. The same mind that conceived the human body gave us the Word of God. To think of the genius behind this defies description.…

The thoughts of the greatest Mind
Leviticus 26:2-4 “You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them,then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” One of the…

Seeing wonders
Psalm 119:18 “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” This is one of my favorite verses. God’s law, His Word, the Bible, is filled with wondrous things; but if God doesn’t open our eyes to them, we will miss them. They are things that are more precious than gold,…

A life without regrets
John 15:8 – By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. Disciples are students. We are to reflect the teachings of Christ in everything we do – how we think, speak and act – and how we react to every situation in life. His teaching…

He cares for you
Psalm 104:16-18 “The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.” Do you have any pets? Have you ever taken care…

How Great Thou Art!
Psalm 104:1 “Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed in splendor and majesty.” How GREAT is our God! Any words we use, no matter how many we use, can only understate his majesty. He is a being that never had a beginning and never will…
