1 Corinthians 13:4–5 (AMP) Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. Viewing someone through “rose-tinted glasses” describes the act of overloo...

Genesis 39:2–3 (KJV) And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand. At this point in Joseph’s story, he was a slave in his master’s house, yet he was still called a prosperous man in the eyes of God! Many Christians measure pr...

James 1:26 (NIV) Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. As a child of God, it’s paramount that you learn to choose the right words. While many mainstream religions, ideological movements, or social groups may be identified by outward symbols such as hats or robes, Christ chose love as the distin...

Ephesians 4:26–27 (TLB) If you are angry, don’t sin by nursing your grudge. Don’t let the sun go down with you still angry—get over it quickly; for when you are angry, you give a mighty foothold to the devil. The world’s longest recorded natural storm lasted about thirty-one days. Yet many people endure storms in their lives far longer, not because of weather, but because they continue to nurse gr...

2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJV) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. In the animal kingdom, there’s a phenomenon called aggressive mimicry, where creatures imitate something harmless to lure their prey and lower its guard. These animals are often weaker than the prey they pursue, so deception becomes their greatest weapon. This is exactly how the devil operate...

Luke 16:10 (KJV) He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. In most companies, there is what’s known as the corporate ladder. Starting at the bottom often means working longer hours for lower pay, while those who prove themselves at each level gradually rise to the top. Promotion comes as a reward for consistency,...

Ephesians 6:11 (KJV) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. When a robber plans a heist, one of their priorities is to neutralise any guard dogs that might alert to the robber’s intrusion or attack them. Incapacitating these animals is seen as the most effective way to eliminate potential noise or resistance. One of the more common strategies i...

Acts 19:14–15 (KJV) And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? In the days of the Wild West, the government’s most wanted criminals became so notorious that posters hung outside taverns and inns offering rewards for their capture. They were known as the most wanted! Tod...

John 3:3 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. The umbilical cord connects a developing baby to its mother, providing nourishment, oxygen, and protection until birth. Once the child is born, that cord is no longer needed because the baby’s systems begin functioning independently. Likewise, before salva...

Galatians 6:7–8 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. There’s a familiar saying: “The grass is greener on the other side.” Many fall victim to this illusion. Some Christians face challenges and begi...

Romans 8:11 (KJV) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Most creatures in the animal kingdom follow the natural law of life and death. However, the  Turritopsis dohrnii , known as the immortal jellyfish, possesses the extraordinary ability to revert t...

THE PROOF OF MATURITY Numbers 20:8 (NIV) Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink. The maturity of a Christian isn’t measured by the miracles, signs, or wonders that follow them. Today’s verse recounts...

Philippians 3:13–14 (KJV) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. In driving psychology, there’s a well-documented phenomenon called  target fixation . When a driver shifts their gaze fr...

Philippians 1:6 (KJV) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. When fire begins its combustion process, it burns continuously as long as heat, oxygen, and fuel remain. A flame doesn’t stop on its own it must be quenched. Likewise, when God starts a good work in your life, He is faithful to complete it. His purpos...

Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. In English literature, nouns identify people, places, or things, while verbs describe action, state, or occurrence. In the Church today, many Christians think that simply believing for something will bring their desired outcome. Yet the Word clearly shows that faith is a  doing  word a verb that mus...

Mark 11:13–14 (NIV) Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it. At first glance, it may seem harsh that Jesus cursed a fig tree for not producing fruit when it wasn’...

Colossians 1:13 (KJV) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. Annexation occurs when a powerful nation incorporates the territory of another into its own. The stronger state extends its influence, laws, and systems over the newly claimed land. Likewise, when you were born again, you were annexed into God’s Kingdom. Your former life...

1 Samuel 23:16 (KJV) And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God. In medical practice, a midwife guides and supports a woman through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Similarly, the Scripture reveals the necessity of having a “midwife” who helps bring forth your destiny. When God wants to use you, He surrounds you with people who strengthen...

SITUATIONS STAND STILL Joshua 10:13 (KJV) And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. Joshua commanding the sun to stand still remains one of the most debated miracles in Scripture. Some believe it’s poe...

Exodus 3:6 (NIV) Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. The power of God is not revealed solely through His own hand; throughout Scripture, it is displayed through the men and women He chooses to use as conductors of His wonders. In today’s verse, the Creator of the u...

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. In etymology a branch of linguistics that examines the origins of language, historians still debate when humanity first formed a common language. While the world remains uncertain, Scripture is not. The Bible reveals that there has never been a world without words. Before the foun...

1 Corinthians 14:10 (KJV) There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. In medical practice, sound often determines life. A newborn’s first interaction with the world is a sound, it’s a cry. Doctors may even gently stimulate a silent baby just to hear that vital cry, a clear sign of life and healthy function. Hearing is also one of the last...

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Many quote today’s scripture while focusing on only one aspect of its meaning. It not only highlights the importance of being a competent student of the Word but also reveals the method required to study it. Just as division in mathematics splits numbers into...

Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. In a court of law, ignorance is never a valid excuse. Sadly, many Christians are ignorant of the truths of scripture. Consequently, they live ordinary lives p...

Luke 10:19 (KJV) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. There’s a pandemic of Christians who fail to realise the power they possess to change their circumstances. Many respond passively to life, allowing circumstances to dictate their outcomes, instead of enforcing change. Statements such as “W...
