The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves the humbled in spirit. — Psalm 33:19 The morning my son Allen was born, the doctor sat in the chair by my bed and said, “Something is wrong…” Our son, so healthy on the outside, had a life-threatening defect and needed immediate surgery. When the doctor (…)

The author of the 27th Psalm deliberately focuses attention on one of the most important aspects of our spiritual life. Throughout the scriptures we learn about the importance of God’s presence. It is in God’s presence that we find strength and hope (Psalm 27:1). Also, in God’s presence our enemies lose their power over us (…)

Test me, O God, and know my heart, examine me, and know my thoughts. — Psalm 138:23 When my husband Dan and I decided to take care of our elderly parents, the first day we held each other’s hands felt like we were about to jump into the abyss. Little did we know at the (…)

If you’ve ever experienced a severe storm or natural disaster, you know how important it is to have a safe shelter for your protection. Whenever there is a threat, we need something stronger than that threat to protect us. This also applies to our everyday life. We experience attacks from our spiritual enemy and other (…)

When you walk with a friend, you should keep up with each other. If one of you rushes ahead or lags behind, you are no longer walking together. Something similar happens when it comes to walking with God. The Apostle Paul said: “Since the Spirit is the source of our new life, let us follow (…)

In an ever-changing, ever-moving, ever-changing world, we can count on God’s unchanging nature. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews put it this way: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 The name for the three separate parts, or “Persons” of God, is (…)

There are various times throughout the Bible when God tells someone not to be afraid. Each of these moments occurs when the listener has every reason to be very scared. One such case involves Joshua, the leader of Israel after the death of Moses, who led the Israelites to the promised land (see Exodus 3). (…)

Think back to a time when you were worried. How did you deal with it? Maybe you tried to distract yourself or maybe you let your mind run over your problems. It is natural to want to respond to our worries this way, but God shows us the best way to respond. Shortly before Jesus (…)

We are busy people. Між роботою та домом, сім’єю та друзями, насиченими розкладами та нескінченними завданнями виникає спокуса поспішати крізь наші дні, навіть не зупиняючись, щоб підняти очі. But God, speaking through the psalmist, said: “Enough of the struggle,” He says, “know that I am your God.” I am the conqueror of nations, then I (…)

Think of a situation you would like to change, and imagine what the apostle Paul must have been going through in 2 Corinthians 12. Paul was suffering and therefore constantly begged God to relieve him of his pain. But God does not change Paul’s situation. Instead, God tells Paul that His grace is sufficient for (…)
