The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...


We often take for granted what we have, where we live, the friends who bless our lives, and the family that gives us a place to belong and grow. All of these are gifts to us from God. We don't deserve them. We don't earn them. But, we can surely destroy them. God wants us to live obediently, not...

—Matthew 7:2 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...


Jesus is concerned that we not have a critical spirit toward others, especially about their motives as to why they did something. We can't assume to know another person's heart; only God can.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...


Who or what is pursuing you? Is it a past mistake? Is it an old enemy? Is it your conscience? Is it a nagging sense of guilt? Is it someone who wants to do you physical harm?

Moses had to learn the same lesson most of us have to learn: folks really don't care that much about what we say. If the truth be known, most of us can't say it very well, anyway. But, when we offer ourselves to the Lord, he truly works through us and uses us in mighty ways. Ol' Stammerin' Mo' is the great testimony...

 

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

—John 6:29 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...


"What do you do for a living?" It is one of the most commonly asked questions in many cultures. We define each other in large measure by the work we do. God, however, defines us by his grace. So the work God has for us, the way he wants us to "make our living," so to speak, is by fully trusting in Jesus. This is the...

 

Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

—Luke 6:28 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...



Outside the example of Jesus, this command makes no sense at all. But, Jesus shows us the importance of leaving our destiny in the hands of our Creator and Father. Suddenly, this makes perfect sense.

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

—Matthew 6:27 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...


In our busy world, we often let ourselves get preoccupied with worrisome and inconsequential things. What does this get us? Far from making our lives more productive or adding to our longevity, we know for a fact that worry hastens our demise and robs our days of joy and grace.
