Good Words for Today

We ought to be the happiest people on earth. After all, we know we aren't going to be here forever, and we know where we are going when we die. So have a blast while you last.

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

"We ought always to pray, and not to faint" (Luke 18:1). The greatest men and women of faith are not necessarily eloquent or famous or gifted. The greatest are those who keep on praying when others give up. Keep on praying! That's the good word for today.

You may lose your wealth, your health, your happiness, and your friends. But no one can take Jesus away from you.

Your present condition does not determine your final destination. God has said that all his children will one day be with him in heaven. Some of us have an easier road through this life; others a much harder path. But we all get to heaven the same way—by the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ..

“He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve or repaid us according to our iniquities” (Psalm 103:10). He’s not the God we think he is. He’s much better than that.

God's detours are never without purpose. When there was no room in the inn, Jesus was born in a manger just as God always intended.

God gives us enough guidance to do his will, but he doesn't answer all our questions. He led the Wise Men across the desert, but they still had to ask directions when they got to Jerusalem.

Just because you are confused doesn't mean God is. He knows what he is doing. Trust him.

“When you ask God to teach you humility, don't be surprised if class lasts longer than you expect.“ R. C. Sproul Jr.

Through the Spirit, we may become wiser than the most learned unbelievers. They may have vast intelligence, but we have the Holy Spirit.

Are you too tired to pray right now? Take heart! The Holy Spirit is praying for you.
