“For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4). One goal or purpose for the Scriptures in our lives is to develop and increase our hope. Because God is a God of hope, He wants our hope to …
Everyone knows God is able to do the miraculous. His ability is not the question. The question is, “How do we get the miraculous to happen for us?” Ephesians 3:20 tells us, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works …

You may have even heard other people talk about heaven and perhaps you have visualized what the Bible says about it for yourself. Most of us have some idea of what heaven will be like and we can easily …
Within every person alive there lies the power-packed ability to imagine. The human imagination is an inspiring and motivating force. As we practice meditating on God’s Word, the inborn creative power of God will be released from our spirits into our imaginations.

The second way to meditate God’s Word is to speak aloud. It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word in Joshua 1:8 translated meditate is also rendered “to speak” in the following three verses: “For my mouth will speak (or meditate) truth” (Proverbs 8:7). “And my tongue shall speak (or meditate) of Your righteousness …
