Faith

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." ~ Hebrews 11:1

Through faith, God gives us the ability to see things that others can't see.

Have you tapped into that ability yet? If not, you may want to check and see how much faith you have in God.

God bless,

More Than Conquerors

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~ Romans 8:37-39

Make no mistake - Satan is real.

The Bible urges us to "be self-controlled and alert" because "your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour" (1 Peter 5:8) It also says, however, that we are MORE than conquerors in Christ.

So, while you stay alert to the devil's schemes, know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) as long as God is on your side.

God bless,
J.W.

Expect The Unexpected

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." ~ Ephesians 3:20-21

As Christians, we serve a God who is bigger than any challenge we might face.

The Bible says he is able to go "exceedingly abundantly" beyond what we could ask or think. He holds all power in His hands.

So, why do we doubt ourselves? More importantly, why do we doubt God?

Expect the unexpected from Him today!

God bless,
J.W.

New Beginnings

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

Tomorrow, I start a new job. There’s nothing like when God grants you a new beginning. A fresh start. A renewed purpose. A different spirit.

It’s always filled with so much promise, so much potential, so much hope.

And that’s what he offers to all of us through salvation. A fresh start. A renewed purpose. A different spirit.

Ask him for a new beginning today.

God bless,
J.W.

Wise Steward

And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household... Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has." ~ Luke 12:42-44

God calls us to be good stewards over that which He has given us - that is, our time, talents (our gifts), and our treasure (money).

So, how good of a steward are you being?

God bless,
J.W.

We All Fall Short

"There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." ~ Romans 3:22-24

Sometimes, as Christians, we act so high and mighty that we think we have the right to judge other people.

But the Word says that all fall short of the glory of God.

No matter how good you think you are, you'll never be better than the One who gave life to the world.

With that perspective, none of us have the right to boast!

God bless,
J.W.

The Spirit

"So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty." ~ Zechariah 4:6

As believers, we are called to walk not by our own might or power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.

Whose power are you walking by today?

God bless,
J.W.
