Good Words for Today
Do you love Jesus? Good, then don’t be afraid to let the world know and don’t worry if others don’t understand.
We undervalue grace because we don't take our sin seriously. When we see our sin as treason against a holy God, then we understand why grace is our only hope of heaven.
Lord Jesus, some of us desperately need your comfort right now. Forgive us for doubting your purposes. Help us to trust even when we don’t understand. Amen.
Jesus washed Judas' feet, knowing that he would betray him. If Jesus would do that, you can love those who hate you. Perhaps washing their feet will change them. If not, washing their feet will certainly change us.
If you know Jesus, you need not fear death. Thank God, we are going from the land of the dying to the land of the living. Death is not the end of our story.
We can ask Jesus how or where or when. We can even ask him "Will you?" But don’t ask him "Can you?" He's God. He can.
There is no confusion in heaven.
Anyone can sing when the sun is shining. If you can still sing at midnight, the world will hear you in a different way.
When we say, “Show me what to do,” the Lord says, “Stay close to me.” When we cry out, “I’m scared," God says, “Follow me.” When we say, “Give me some answers” God says, “Give me your heart.”
There are no interruptions in life. There are merely divine appointments God didn't tell you about in advance.
"Jesus is never troubled when you bring your troubles to him." H. B. Charles, Jr
Lord Jesus, you are stronger than my doubts, greater than my questions, and more powerful than my confusion. Give me simple faith to trust you today. Amen.
Mind-blowing truth: God knows you inside and out, and he loves you anyway.
“A great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries” (1 Corinthians 16:9). 3 quick thoughts: 1. Open doors mean God has work for you to do—Get moving! 2. Adversaries mean it won’t be easy—Stay humble! 3. God oversees both the open doors and the adversaries—Be thankful!
There must be a new brokenness among the people of God before revival can come. As long as we blame "someone else" for the spiritual condition of America, nothing will change. God is using the moral disintegration of this nation to call his people to prayer and repentance.
Being holy means living so that others will say, “He serves a wonderful God,” and so that God will look down from heaven and say, “That’s my boy!” or “That’s my girl!”
All our problems start between our ears. First, we think it, then we dwell on it, and then we do it. So it is with anger, bitterness, impatience, lust, greed, and every other sin.
In the end, it’s more dangerous to bow to the world than to stand alone for God.
Our obedience often gets us into trouble. Sometimes we suffer not because we did wrong, but because we did right.
“The trouble is that I’m in a hurry but God isn’t.” Phillips Brooks
There are many ways to go to hell. There is only one way to go to heaven. Make sure you find the right way. PS If you don't know the way, read John 14:6.
“God is looking for nobodies who will become somebodies in his hands.” Jack Wyrtzen
