Stop Running Scared

Psalm 31:6-7

You may be going through a trial so overwhelming that it's borderline unbearable. 

You want to see the end of the tunnel. Which is only natural, because once we see that little speck of light, we feel we can make it through to the finish. 

But God's tunnels are often twisting, too complex and dark to see the light for many days. 

In such settings He says, "In that dark, twisting, seemingly endless period of time, trust Me. Stop running scared! Stop fearing!"

Verse of the Day: December 18, 2023

Luke 1:68-70

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.
He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago)

The Difference Makes the Difference

John 13:35

If our message is a mirror image of the message of the world, the world yawns and goes on its way, saying, "What else is new? I've heard all that since I was born." But if the Christian lifestyle and motivation and answers are different, the world cannot help but sit up and take notice, thinking:

How is it that I cannot conquer this habit but he has?

Why is their love so deep and lasting and ours so shallow and fickle?

How is it that she can forgive and never hold a grudge, but I can't get over a wrong?

Verse of the Day: December 17, 2023

Matthew 1:20-21

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
