Do you realize that not all anger is sinful? The problem is that most of our anger is a result of selfishness – and selfish anger is sinful! Show Notes: ⁠Episode 89 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Have you ever felt that God wanted you to do something special, but (like Saul) you were too afraid to do it? Do you realize that when God asks you to do something, He promises to be there to help you?   Show Notes: ⁠Episode 88 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

How easily are you convinced that you need to have what other people have? Or that you want to do what they are doing? We get ourselves into difficult places in our relationship with God when we want to be like everyone else, because a relationship with Him requires a life that is different from others.

Are you aware of God’s holiness? When we get caught up in the routines of life, it is easy to forget the awesome power of God and to take His holiness for granted. Show Notes: ⁠Episode 86 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Have you ever tried to “guilt” God into fighting for you and then wondered why He seemed to help someone else instead – someone who didn’t even know Him or love Him? Sometimes God lets others grab the victory so that He can grab our attention!   Show Notes: ⁠Episode 85 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Do you have Christian friends in your life that you can go to for advice? Samson never had anyone to go to. He was a loner. Most of his unwise decisions could have been avoided if he had been willing to reach out to others for godly advice. Show Notes: ⁠Episode 79 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Do you understand the importance of guarding your heart? Samson did not do a good job of this. Instead, he “followed his heart” which led him into many sinful places. Did you know that God warns us not to follow our hearts? Show Notes: ⁠Episode 78 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Are you more concerned with how things look to you – or how they look to God ? Are you more interested in getting what you want – or in doing what God says is right? Show Notes: ⁠Episode 77 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Are you sometimes careless with your words and promises? Jephthah never imagined that his vow would affect his daughter’s life in the way that it did. Show Notes: ⁠Episode 74 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Do you take the time to notice the little things God is doing in your life to encourage you and prepare you for bigger adventures with Him?  God is constantly providing us with affirmation of His power and presence so that we will trust Him. But we must take the time to watch and listen. If we trust Him, He will never let us down! Show Notes: ⁠Episode 72 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Do you sometimes wonder if God has abandoned you? Do you question why He allows so many bad things to happen? The Bible teaches us that God is completely and infinitely good, yet we live in a sinful world. Show Notes: ⁠Episode 71 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Do you sometimes feel like you are trapped in a situation where God could never use you? As Jael found out, God has a role for each of us – regardless of our circumstances. God’s stories always include a plot twist that we don’t see coming! Show Notes: ⁠Episode 70 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠

Are you like Barak – unexcited to attempt a task that you don’t feel personally capable of accomplishing? Or are you more like Deborah – willing to attempt whatever God says is possible? God doesn’t want us to evaluate His commands in light of our own abilities and assets. His presence in our lives changes every equation! Show Notes: ⁠Episode 69 Subscribe: ⁠My Daily Briefing⁠
