From time to time, I need reminding. Where I put my glasses. Adding butter to the shopping list. But a truly important reminder is about perspective. GOD’s perspective.
Daily Word: Joshua 1:9
There’s that word: Chazak! Be strong! Our context? Joshua’s beloved mentor has gone off somewhere to die, where GOD Himself would buried him. Now, it is time to enter the long awaited Promised Land.
Daily Word: Psalm 94:19
I live in my head. It’s helpful as an author, but can be detrimental to my emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Do you know what I mean? Today’s verse describes me a little too accurately. If left unchecked, my troubling thoughts will multiply.
Daily Word: Revelation 4:11
The most important part of this chapter? Worship! Praise! Lifting GOD above all.
Daily Word: John 15:12
The commandment of love: Many still believe that Jesus ushered in the “doing away with” the Law. Nope. What He did was fulfill it (Matthew 5:17).
Daily Word: Colossians 3:16
The context of this verse is so important to another series of verses. Do you feel the context of love from the heart of Messiah?
Daily Word: Jacob (James) 5:16
Our context from today’s verse is the final written words of Jacob, Yeshua’s half-brother. Jacob is pretty rough on the wealthy, and as we read chapter five, there’s a sense of urgency — that his Messiah, their Messiah would be returning soon.
Daily Word: Romans 15:4
“… the encouragement of the Scriptures …” When we read the word Scriptures, what do we think of? The Gospels? At the time of Paul’s letter to the Romans, most likely only the Gospel of Mark was written.
Daily Word: 1 John 1:7
Taken out of context, the images this verse brings to our imagination could be little lambs frolicking in the sunshine. The Great Shepherd leaning on His staff, chuckling at how cute the little creatures are. And, I’m sure there’s a bit of that within the context of this chapter, however, the true picture is different.
