"Take a lesson from the ants." Pr 6:6 NLT "Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise! Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up? A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of...

"What I'm interested in seeing you do is..." Isa 58:7 MSG Max Lucado writes: "Ours is the wealthiest generation of Christians ever. We are bright, educated, and experienced.

A mere 2 pe...

"You will not leave in a hurry, running for your lives. For the Lord will go ahead of you…[and] protect you from behind." Isa 52:12 NLT Have you heard of "hurry sickness"? Those who have it zoom in and out of lanes in congested traffic; try to be the first off the plane, even though they must wait forever at baggage claim; honk at you if you don't take off like a racehorse...

"'Bring the whole tithe...Test me in this.'" Mal 3:10 NIV Gangaram Mahes became known in New York as the "Serial Eater." This immigrant loved elegant dining but didn't have the money to pay for it. Instead of denying his appetite, he merely walked into a fine restaurant, ordered the best meal on the menu, the finest wines, and the costliest desserts, and ate and...

"I have prayed for you." Lk 22:32 NKJV "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren" (VV. 31-32 NKJV). Are you involved in things you never thought yourself capable of doing? You never thought you would have an affair. You neve...

"Is it not my family God has chosen?" 2Sa 23:5 NLT Whether in church or in the workplace, if you're "the person in charge" here is a question you need to seriously address: If you don't love and take care of your own family, why should the people who look to you for direction think vou will love and take care of them? Does that question make you uncomfortable? Does it...

"Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old." Isa 43:18 NKJV We all have emotional attics and basements where we store our "junk." And it's the same in our relationships. It's hard for a relationship to thrive when either party hasn't processed their mental and emotional iunk. We are talking about (1) regrets we have over past mistakes, (2)...

"Don't make rash promises." Ecc 5:2 NLT When it comes to making commitments and keeping them, Solomon doesn't mince any of his words: "Don't shoot off your mouth, or speak before you think... When you tell God you'll do something, do it-now God takes no pleasure in foolish gabble. Vow it, then do it. Far better not to vow in the first place than to vow and not pa...

"The Lord spoke to Moses." Nu 1:1 NIV A good leader is like a ship's good captain; they plan the whole trip in their mind before they leave the dock.

And b...

"Your faith has made you well." Lk 8:48 NKJV The Bible says: "Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years…touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped…Jesus said, 'Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.' Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden…she declared…she had touched Him and how she was healed imme...

"Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ." Ro 13:14 NIV Since first impressions are important, we're encouraged to "dress for success." And that's a good thing. But as a redeemed child of God, your first concern shouldn't be how you look to others, but to God. Just like a mirror reflects your physical appearance so that you can make adjustments, the Bible re...

"I exhort…….that…intercessions..be made." 1Ti 2:1 NKJV Paul writes: "I exhort…that…intercessions…be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (vV. 1-...

"Perfect love casts out fear." 1Jn 4:18 NKJV Question: Since we're naturallv drawn to people who love us, why is it so difficult for us to go to God in prayer? Answer: Because we need a fresh revelation of His love for us! Paul prayed that the Ephesian church would "be able to take in….the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love" (Eph 3:18 MSG). The word "extrava...

"Beatings purge the inmost being." Pr 20:30 NIV Another way God changes us is through circumstances. Problems, pressures, sorrows, hardships, and stress always get our attention. C. S. Lewis said, "Pain insists on being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures...but shouts to us in our pain." The J. B. Phillips translation of Romans 8:28-29 reads: "To those who lov...

"It...teaches us to do what is right." 2Ti 3:16 NLT One of the ways God changes us is through His Word. "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work" (vV. 16- 17 NLT)...

"Work out vour own salvation...for it is God who works in you... to will and to do...His good pleasure." Php 2:12-13 NKJV The Bible says, "Work out your own salvation…for it is God who works in you..to will and to do..His good pleasure." This Scripture almost sounds like a contradiction, doesn't it? But instead, it is a paradox. And G. K. Chesterton described a paradox as...

"He said. 'Tomorrow.'" Ex 8:10 NKJV Every plague God sent on Egypt mocked one of their gods. For instance, the Egyptians deified lice, so God sent them a lot of lice-and frogs. Finally, Pharaoh called for Moses and said, "All right, I give up." But when Moses asked him, "When do you want me to get rid of the frogs?" Pharaoh's response was classic; he sa...
