Isaiah 40:11 demonstrates just how tenderhearted the Lord is toward His children: “He shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom” (NASV). Why does He carry His lambs in His bosom? Because our weakness melts His heart. He has bound Himself by a covenant to care for each lamb—He will …
Jeremiah declared God’s undeniable ability to protect us when he said: “Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You” (Jeremiah 32:17 NASU). Who could possibly dispute God’s ability to guard and keep safe what He has …
“Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you” (Psalm 37:3-5 NLT). When the pleasures of our heart are focused …
After Peter stepped out of the boat to walk on the water, he began to consider the danger of the wind and waves. The scripture says, “Beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me” (Matthew 14:30 NKJ). Dangerous times are often accompanied by a sinking feeling. At one time or another we can …

After being grilled with questions by the Pharisees and Sadducees, Jesus taught His disciples how Satan lures us into his traps. “Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any food. ‘Watch out!’ Jesus warned them. ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and …
Revelation 12:10 tells us that Satan is the relentless accuser, accusing us day and night. Knowing this, can’t we simply ignore Satan’s accusations and go on with our lives? Not when we understand what a trap is actually designed to do. Matthew 22:15 says, “The Pharisees met together to think of a way to trap …
Have you ever wondered how Jesus was able to sidestep the booby traps that were set for Him? What kept Him from being drawn and lured into Satan’s snares? Religious leaders frequently ambushed Jesus with an onslaught of hostile questions, yet He skillfully dodged each one. No matter what others did He remained in complete …
Jesus revealed the power available when as few as two people are determined to remain in unity: “If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 18:19 KJV). According to Jesus when we make …
People who know their God-given purpose are determined to hit the target God has set for them. This point reminds me of a Peanuts cartoon in which Charlie Brown was practicing his archery.
