God is committed to completing any work that he has begun and any work he has asked you to do. When you align with his will and purpose then you can be certain he will finish what he started.

One of the things we overlook and often take for granted are the blessings of God. In many instances, especially here in our country, the blessings are so plentiful they are easily missed, or we simply fail to acknowledge them. I believe it is time we change that and do what the Psalmist says – forget none of his benefits.

If you are going to be honest, there are times where you don’t feel like rejoicing or being glad. When those moments come, remember this chapter and this verse.

Solomon is emphasizing an age-old truth; there is strength in numbers. What is fascinating about this verse is recognizing it doesn’t take a lot of numbers to increase your strength. In his analogy, he focuses on a cord of three strands.

I want to help you set and keep good boundaries so that your serving will always remain joyful and not become a burden where you end up burnt out. From my experience people who get burnt out typically stop serving and many never serve again. I don’t want that to happen to you.

As you can tell from the title, this is an article about prayers for those hunting for a job. Before I get to the prayers, I need to establish some points so the prayers below will make more sense.

Over the last few years, the idea of justice has taken center stage in America. There have been numerous rallies and calls for justice all over the nation. From time to time, you may have even heard a verse of Scripture from the book of Micah as a rallying point. 

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8).

There are times the Bible challenges, corrects, and rebukes. This verse does all three. I don’t know how often you think about what the Lord requires of you, but he provides an answer here in Micah, which one Bible scholar said sums up the Old Testament law.

But what does it mean to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? Quite honestly, this verse demands our attention as Christians. As the very fiber of our society has reached a critical tipping point, how do you and I as followers of Jesus Christ live out this verse in our lives every day, especially if we want to represent Christ well on the earth?
