"The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart." Ps 19:8 NKJV "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes...More to be desired are they than gold...sweeter also than honey...by them Your ser...

"You shall meditate on it day and night." Jos 1:8 Bible meditation has fallen out of favor. Why? Because we live in an instantaneous society, and a preoccupied society. We have so much stuff coming at us from TV, cell phones, email, texts, snail mail, satellite links, cable news feeds, and podcasts that we hardly have a moment to react--much less reflect. Get real! You can't "d...

"A time to gain, and a time to lose, Ecc 3:6 NKJV How can we help our children navigate life's losses?  (1) Don't underestimate their capacity for grief. Children are often the "forgotten" grievers.

"Clothe yourselves with…kindness." Col 3:12 When you get up in the morning, you must not only clothe yourself physically but spiritually and emotionally too.

You say, "But when I'm kind, peop...

"Not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Php 2:4 NIV Often in marriage we are unaware of our partner's needs. We become calloused. We stop listening. We're oblivious to the pressure thev're under. Simply stated, the root of many marital problems is insensitivity. Everyone you meet needs kindness. The people who sit around you in c...

"The lips of the godly speak helpful words." Pr 10:32 NLT How do you feel when someone tries to put you down? Then don't do it to others! "Kind words bring life, but cruel words crush your spirit" (Pr 15:4 GNT). You can crush someone with what you say, so be careful. Some of the people you meet each day need an emotional lift, so encourage them. "Righteous people know...

"Dear friends, don't try to get even. Let God take revenge." Ro 12:19 CEV When someone has hurt or betrayed you, it goes against your grain to resist the instinct for revenge- especially when there is an opportunity to settle the old score and your friends urge you to capitalize on it. They tell you, "It's only right and fair." Before you decide, consider the story in...

"We are wrestling with.the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil." Eph 6:12 GWT In his classic book, War on the Saints, Jessie Penn- Lewis writes, "The chief condition…for the working of evil spirits in human beings, apart from sin, is passivity." That's why the apostle Peter urges us "Stay alert! Watch out for your great ene...

"Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with man advisers they succeed." Pr 15:22 NIV A good adviser does three things: they observe you, instruct you, and motivate you. At first, the thought of having someone evaluate you may be intimidating. But think about it: people are watching you anyway, so why not have a good adviser among the crowd? Here is a list of some areas in which you might c...

"Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us." Ps 62:8 NKJV Life can feel overwhelming when you're responsible for mortgage and rent payments, medical bills, clothes for the family, escalating food and fuel expenses, college fees, plus the reality of preparing for your retirement!

"He gave us his Son-will he not also freely give us all things?" Ro 8:32 GNT Do you like to collect Bible promises for challenging times? When your collection seems inadequate, do you add to it, thinking, "I just haven't found the right promise yet?" Claiming the promise without understanding the all-sufficiency of the Promiser can disappoint you. Since there is no lack in...

"A time to be born, and a time to die." Ecc 3:2 Researchers at the Colorado Institute of Grief offer us this helpful four-stage path to recovery. Stage one - Shock. Our initial response is one of denial and disbelief. "I can't believe this is happening.it's not real!" There is a numbing of our senses, a God- designed natural "anesthesia" that buffers the ear...

"His faithful love endures forever" Ps 118:2 NLT Do yourself a favor - read Psalm 118! (1) "In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me" (v. 5 NLT). What are you battling today?

"My God shall supply all your need." Php 4:19 NKJV God promised to supply your need, not your greed When you get into debt by buying things you shouldn't, don't expect Him to bail you out. No responsible parent would do that, and God is a responsible parent. He gives you choices, and He points out consequences. He told Adam and Eve not to eat the forbidden fruit. Then Satan cam...

"Set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things)." Col 3:2 AMPC What's your biggest challenge right now? Breaking a bad habit, or putting a new one in place?

"We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2Co 10:5 NIV How would you describe yourself? Are you naturally positive, or negative?

Whatever your answer may be, this much is certain: The patterns an...

"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Pr 23:7 NKJV AA Every family has generational "issues" they struggle with.

"Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God." Php 1:3 NLT Paul often acknowledged those who helped him. "Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God... for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News" (vv. 3, 5 NLT).

"This is the Lord's battle, and he will give you to us!" 1Sa 17:47 NLT To defeat giants like addiction, resentment, fear, lust, pride, envy, or anger, you must understand these three Scriptures: (1) "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience" (1Co 10:13 NLT).

"Set aside a tenth of all." Dt 14:22 NIV Why did God command His people to give Him the first tenth of their income? He tells us: "So that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands" (v. 29 NIV). That means tithing doesn't cost, it pays! When you give God the first tenth of your income, He promises to bless "all the work of your hands." So the...
