God Is Patient and Waits for the Right Time.

Demanding Proof:
•
Jesus does not respond to demands: He meets the needs of the faithful. I was reading Mark 8:11-12 this morning. The Pharisees were demanding proof from Jesus that God had sent Him. He refuses to give them a sign that He was the Messiah. They already knew He was healing…

God is in the details…
•
I was wondering this morning during my morning Bible Study: Why was God so specific in His instructions to Moses in the Book of Exodus, about worship and the items used during it? I thought about how God was so specific in the details when He had Noah build the…

Worshipping God Becomes a Gift of Love for Us.

I was reminded this morning that worshipping God and spending time in prayer are gifts to us. Sure, the Father loves to be with His children, but we are the ones who benefit from worshipping God and being with Him. It is as if our gift of worship for God…

Matthew 5:22 Don’t call a foolish person a fool.
•
People Do Act Foolishly. A relative and I were talking about how Jesus said not to call anyone a “fool.” We had another family member being foolish, and they had many reasons to justify their behavior. We concluded that sometimes people are truly foolish, and Proverbs lists all kinds of…
