- It's far yet so very near Sent Tuesday, April 2, 2013 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. Psalm 145:13 NIV Far Reaching Right now, there are at least 25 kingdoms worldwide. From the United Kingdom and Queen Elizabeth II, to King Abdullah in Saudi Arabia, to even King Letsie III in Lesotho--some of these monarchies have existed for generations, others merely a few years. But only one kingdom can be called everlasting because it's ruled by the only One who can call Himself […]
- You'll want to get carried away with this one Sent Monday, April 1, 2013 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Deuteronomy 33:27 NIV Lean on Him There is a hymn, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms published in 1887. Anthony J. Showalter said he wrote the tune and words while writing letters of consolation to two friends whose wives had died. He was inspired by today's verse. The lyrics are simple yet profound. Among them: What have I to dread, what have I to fear Leaning on the everlasting arms I have […]

- Your new home is coming soon! Sent Friday, March 29, 2013 The Lord Almighty says: I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion. Zechariah 1:14 NIV Future Homecoming You've heard it called the Holy City, the hub for three of the world's major religions, and the locale for some of the Bible's greatest events, past and future. Jerusalem is a special place, and it has always been close to God's heart. But He's not jealous for Jerusalem because of where it is; God is devoted to it because of who's in it. It's the home for His chosen people. […]
- The only way to give top-rate service Sent Thursday, March 28, 2013 You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. Joshua 24:19 NIV Adore Him! It's one of the better known quotes from the Bible: As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15, NIV). Spoken by Joshua, it's bold, decisive and inspirational. Shortly after that he told the people they are not able to serve the Lord speaking from today's verse. Is he being sarcastic? Contradictory? Is he confused? No. Joshua said this because he wanted […]
- What do you need Him to be today? Sent Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. Matthew 11:29 NIV More Than Able Your personal God is diverse. In Revelation, Jesus Christ is described as the One whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze (Revelation 2:18). Later at Armageddon, He is the conquering leader of Heaven's forces who will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings (Revelation 17:14). He's strong, powerful and intimidating. Then there's today's verse, […]
- A promise to you that can't be broken Sent Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. Revelation 1:17 NIV Be Completed There's just something that feels right about completion. You like to learn something new from A to Z. You enjoy a story that has an attention-grabbing beginning and a satisfying end. From start to finish, you like a job to be done professionally and well. There is nothing, nor no one, is more complete than your personal God. When the Apostle John was stuck on Patmos Island and received the vision […]
- A promise to you that can't be broken Sent Monday, March 25, 2013 The Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you. Deuteronomy 7:12 NIV Your True Love Have you ever made a vow to someone? They're most often associated with a wedding ceremony. But vows are made at other times, too. Really, any time you make a promise to someone, you've vowed to keep your word; to follow through on what you committed yourself to do. The Bible is filled with vows God has made to you! and one of the most amazing vows of all is the one mentioned in […]
- There's always time for this in your life Sent Friday, March 22, 2013 A time to love. Ecclesiastes 3:8 NIV Precious Moments Remember the bittersweet song from Fiddler on the Roof? Sunrise, sunset / Sunrise, sunset / Swiftly fly the years / One season following another / Laiden with happiness and tears. It calls to mind the most well-known passage from Ecclesiastes, which tells you there's a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). True, you are subject to times and seasons over which you have little […]
- Let God play take-away with you! Sent Thursday, March 21, 2013 When you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV All Included God provides for you in wonderful ways: materially, physically and spiritually. He gives you many things. They are for your enjoyment, to bring you contentment, and even to cause you to praise Him. Today's verse, though, shows God can also provide for you when something is taken away. When you want to think, feel or do something you know you shouldn't, […]
- Don't miss this love story about you Sent Wednesday, March 20, 2013 I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them. 2 Samuel 7:10 NIV Home Sweet Home The Old Testament, really, is a love story; a long, roller-coaster tale of how God cared for, repeatedly forgave, and consistently restored the people He chose. As with any love story, there have been times of joy and heartbreak for Israel that have continued to this very day. Yet God's love remains true and unending. Through Jesus Christ, you are also a child of God, […]
