No Favoritism

By -

“There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good—for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.” — Romans 2:9-11 (NLT) Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? (Romans 2:4 NLT) Yahweh loves you with an everlasting love. Therefore He has drawn you with lovingkindness. (See Jeremiah 31:3) And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in ...

Trust in the LORD

Trust in and rely confidently on the LORD with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, and He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. — Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP) Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember and trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Psalms 20:7 AMP) He knows the plans He has for us and they are good. In Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP), He says: “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the LORD, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Proverbs 28:6 says: He who trusts in his own heart is a fool. Be wise and trust in Yahweh. Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. (See Proverbs 3:7 NASB1995) ...I am trusting you, O LORD, saying, “You are my God!” My future is in your hands... (See Psalms 31:14-15 NLT).

Give Thanks

“Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted.” — John 6:11 (NLT) Instead of looking at our material possessions, may we look to Yahweh, the source of everything that we need. Let us be thankful for all that Yahweh has provided and trust Him to always provide for us. “But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.” (John 6:27 NLT)

“God rescued me from the grave, and now my life is filled with light.’ “Yes, God does these things again and again for people. He rescues them from the grave so they may enjoy the light of life.” — Job 33:28-30 (NLT) My eyes are always on the LORD, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies. (Psalms 25:15 NLT) When the righteous cry [for help], the LORD hears and rescues them from all their distress and troubles. (Psalms 34:17 AMP) Yahweh is faithful to rescue us again and again. Let us proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light! (See 1 Peter 2:9 NKJV) He called us out of bondage and into a life full of His gracious blessings. Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Interlude. Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign LORD rescues us from death. — Psalms 68:19-20 (NLT)

Seek & Find

...and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as  even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ — Acts 17:26-28 (NASB1995) “Therefore God overlooked and disregarded the former ages of ignorance; but now He commands all people everywhere to repent [that is, to change their old way of thinking, to regret their past sins, and to seek God’s purpose for their lives],” (Acts 17:30 AMP) Repent of your sins and turn to Him. “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD...” (See Jeremiah 29:13-14)

The Greatest

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” — 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV) Now there remains, faith, an abiding trust in God and His promises. We have hope, the confident expectation of eternal salvation, and love, an unselfish love for others growing out of God’s love for us. But of these three, the Holy Scriptures say, the greatest of these is love. (See 1 Corinthians 13:13 AMP) Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; (1 Corinthians 13:4-6 NASB1995) Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].  (1 Corinthians 13:7 AMP) In John 13:35, Yeshua said to His dis...

Good Seed vs. Weeds

By -

Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.” — Matthew 13:37-39 (NLT) In Luke 11:23 (AMP), Yeshua said: “He who is not with Me [believing in Me as Lord and Savior] is against Me [there is no impartial position]; and he who does not gather with Me [assisting in My ministry], scatters.” Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. (See Joshua 24:15) “The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and unders...
