—Psalms 90:12 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

So often we look up and time has passed us by. The things we promised ourselves we'd accomplish and the deeds we told others we'd do get left undone. Before we know it, days have become weeks, and weeks months, and months years. We find ourselves unable to do what we once assumed we could do any time we want. We must ask the Spirit of God to help us see...

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Isn't it incredible that we are called children of God!? But that is exactly what we are! (cf. 1 John 3:1-3) We are God's children.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Jesus came to his own things — the world he had created and the land he had promised his people — and his very own people didn't receive him.

"Jesus came to me, but I wasn't ready to receive him. I had other things I...

—John 1:18 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Jesus is God's greatest message. He not only proclaims and declares God's love, mercy, and grace, he has made it known. Only Jesus can display God to us fully, for he is one with the Father. Yet when we "see" Jesus ministering in the Gospels, we see God. If we want to know how God feels about us, all we have to do is...

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

—Luke 2:14 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

There is only one proper response for God's gift of Jesus — our praise and adoration. God's love, grace, favor, blessing, forgiveness, mercy, and salvation come to us through the incredible gift of Jesus. How can we not praise him? How can our hearts remain still and voices remain silent before such an incredible God? They can't, or won't, at least right now...
