God will never leave you. And that my friend, is really good news.

People heard God's word and they wept. And they feasted. It was like a family member who had come home after a long journey. And finally, they were back together with the people that they loved.

Nehemiah was very angry, and rightfully so, instead of helping their poor neighbors, they were trying to make money from them. They were exploiting people's poverty in order to make themselves more and more rich. And that's no way for God's people to act. And Nehemiah, when he found out, he took action to help the poor, we must never let our advantage be a means to take advantage of others. We mus...

Wow, what a time of stress and tension. The enemies were insulting them and mocking them and threatening them. And it's real easy to get discouraged when those kinds of things are happening.

When our desires are in tune with God's desires, we can accomplish so much more than we ever thought or imagine...

What a story. Elijah was tired and he was scared and he was on the run. He just wanted to stop. He wanted it all to stop. So we sat down under that solitary tree. But God helped him. God was able to nourish him and strengthen him. God touched him, gave them food and water, and helped him go on his way. Sometimes in life, even in young lives, we get tired. And sometimes we just need to take a nap a...

Praise Him for His pres...

When he asked his father's advisors what he should do, they told him that he should be a servant, that if he served his people, and gave them a favorable answer, they would be loyal to him. For all the days of his reign, it takes some wisdom to see that being a servant is the wisest way to...
