Swift to Hear
James 1:19-21 “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” One…

The God-given Mirror
Colossians 2:6-7 “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him . . . abounding in thanksgiving.” One of the metaphors the Word of God uses for itself is a mirror. In James 1:23-24 it says, “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a…

Do you know what God has spoken?
2 Samuel 7:25 “And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken.” How’s your reading comprehension?

Are you sitting down?
2 Samuel 7:18-19 “Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, ‘Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?’” Have you ever had someone ask you before they told you what they had to say, “Are you sitting down?” If you have, you know that…

David’s Song
2 Samuel 22:31 “This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.” I am thankful for those Christians who have been through very great trials and have come out the other side magnifying and praising God. Those are the people…

It’s Personal
Hebrews 13:5 “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’” When you read the Bible, do you take note of…

The Most Powerful Words
Hebrews 12:25 “See that you do not refuse him who is speaking.” One of the themes of the Bible is the infinite power of the Word of God. We are told in Genesis 1 that God spoke and the heavens, the earth, and everything that is in them were created. It tells us that God…

To whom are we listening?
1 Samuel 28:21-23 “And the woman came to Saul, and when she saw that he was terrified, she said to him, ‘Behold, your servant has obeyed you. I have taken my life in my hand and have listened to what you have said to me. Now therefore, you also obey your servant. Let me set a morsel…

Plan B
1 Samuel 28:6-7 “And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets. Then Saul said to his servants, ‘Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.’” Do you have a plan B when it comes to following the…
