When God's Word Leads Us To Do Something, His Spirit Equips Us For That Task. - 1 Samuel 9:25-10:16 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever felt inadequate? Do your tasks seem undoable? This can be frustrating when we have clarity from God's Word that this is what He wants us to do, but we feel incapable of doing it. That has to be how Saul felt as Samuel announced to him that he’d be Israel's next king. Yet in 1 Samuel 9 and 10, we see the example of God's Word and God's Spirit fully equipping Saul for the task ahead.
God Hears The Cry Of His People And Provides. - 1 Samuel 9:1-24 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you asked God for something and felt like you got no response? The people ask God for a king. God says He will give them a king, and the chapter ends with Samuel telling them, "Go back to your cities." Who's the king? You ask God for something, but instead you are off track, and things are not going your way. 1 Samuel 9 teaches us crucial truths about God's providential care for His people.
Give Thanks To The Lord For His Steadfast Love Which Guarantees Our Salvation. - Psalm 118 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever felt stuck? When we’re there, we feel like there's no way forward, and we feel hopeless — even desperate! The author of Psalm 118 felt that way. In two verses, he repeats four times that his enemies surrounded him. But in that time of distress, he remembered God's steadfast love and cried out for help. As a result, Psalm 118 is a testimony to the saving work of God's steadfast love.
Everyone Should Praise The Lord For His Steadfast Love And Truth. - Psalm 117 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What's most important? How do we spend our limited resources like time and money? Though Psalm 117 is the shortest of all, it reminds us what’s most important of all: Praise the Lord. The universe exists for this purpose. The psalm calls us to praise God for two key attributes: His love and truth. These small words in the littlest psalm represent ideas that touch all people for all time.
Love The Lord Who Loves Us And Hears Our Prayers. - Psalm 116 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Does prayer matter? If God’s sovereign, is there any point to prayer? Psalm 116 answers those questions by confirming that prayer is important and effective. Why? Because when we pray, we call out to a God Who loves us and Who responds to our prayers with what is good for us. We are precious in His eyes, so He deals bountifully with us. Psalm 116 is the psalmist's response to an answered prayer.
