"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." Prov. 16:9 With or without man's permission or co-operation, God will have His way. His sovereignty (supreme power) over the universe and human events guarantees it is certain. The Old Testament story of Joseph and his jealous brothers classically illustrates how God uses wicked men and their sinful ac...
Keep Reading"The steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord, and he delighteth in his way." Ps. 37:23 Notice it's the "good man" whose life's journey is directed by the Lord. Sinful, unbelieving men do not want, nor seek, God's direction for their lives. To the contrary, they rebel against His authority. What God orders in our lives He will enable us to do. The same omniscient mi...
Keep Reading"It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jer. 10:23 Robert Burns, the great Scottish poet, echoes this truth in his poem "To a Mouseâ€, writing, “The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." It is best to expect the unexpected because the God of heaven superimposes His perfect plan over man's best, but flawed, human effort to direct his ...
Keep Reading"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:4 KJV Someone has aptly called this life, as wonderful as it is, "a veil of tears." One of the last acts God performs before He gives us a new glorified body is to w...
Keep Reading"Let not your heart be troubled: You believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it was not true, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself; that where I am you may be also." John 14:1-3 KJV After His resurrection somewhere betw...
Keep Reading"But the God of all grace Who has called you into His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered for a while make you perfect, (complete) establish, strengthen, and settle you." James 1:5 KJV Wow! It's simply amazing that God would choose to share His eternal glory with us. In the interim, look what God wants to produce in us through our suffering. Note, wh...
Keep Reading"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men to be pitied. But now Christ is risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that sleep." 1 Corinthians 15:19, 20 KJV If Christianity is only a man- generated system of worship and admirable philosophy of life, then it differs little from the other religions of the world. Christianity, however, i...
Keep Reading"No temptation has overtaken you but such is common to man; and God is faithful, Who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you're able,(to deal with) but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV No, your present temptation or testing, however difficult, is not unique to you. Others have ...
Keep Reading"For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed to us." Romans 8:18 KJV After years of horrific suffering for his faith in Christ, the great apostle Paul reflecting back, concluded that the contrast between present sufferings and our future glory was so great that there was not the slightest basis ...
Keep Reading"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all comprehension shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 KJV Anxiety is a tense emotional state characterized by fear and apprehension, often without apparent cause. Whoa, thi...
