But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27, NKJV) Billy Sunday, the 19th Century baseball player turned evangelist, is quoted as saying, “We have a God who delights in impossibilities.” We do serve a God who makes the impossible possible—if we allow Him to. Any lack of action on His part is because of a lack of faith on our part. We limit a limitless God by our unbelief. When something happens outside our human abilities and which defies the laws of nature, we call them miracles. Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines that as…
David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! For the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the LORD’s temple is finished. (I Chronicles…
Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: “How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you? (Joshua 18:3, NKJV) Waiting can be tiring. Whether it’s a long line at the store checkout, waiting for an appointment, or delays…

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 Remember when spring cleaning was a big event of the year. After the snow was gone and the weather was getting warmer, a homemaker would practically tear the house apart. All the curtains were removed from the windows, washed, and hung out to dry in the spring breeze. Blinds were taken down and dusted or washed, depending on what kind they were. Then the windows were thoroughly cleaned inside and out to get rid of the winter’s grime. Carpets were removed, hung over the…
“Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters—a pathway no one knew was there!” Psalms 77:19 We are facing extremely uncertain times right now all across the globe. Most people are feeling fear and anxiety as we face an unknown future. Lockdown, social distancing and quarantine have become a part of our everyday vocabulary. A stark reminder of how quickly things can change. When the Israelites were finally freed from their slavery, they set out on a perilous journey to reach the land that God had promised them. Their futures too were uncertain, and their destination…
And many women who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons (Matthew 27:55-56, NKJV). Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. (John 19:25, NKJV) Who was at the cross with Jesus after the rest of His followers had deserted Him? Which of His followers remained by His side in the most difficult moments of His life? Who stayed by Him and…
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 We all like to receive invitations. In a normal year, we would probably have received at least one wedding invitation for this summer. It is a special honour when someone invites us to share their special day with them. We are happy to reply that we will attend. We look through our wardrobe and decide what we will wear, or maybe we will have to buy a new outfit. We carefully consider what we will give the happy couple as a…
