“Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of His burning anger.” Isaiah 13:13 Our God is faithful and His heart is for us, but He is also a wrathful God. He is perfect, and in the same way that darkness cannot remain in the presence of light our imperfection cannot remain in the presence of His perfection for long. We are warned multiple times that His day is coming, the day the whole world will see His power. Here in Isaiah 13, …
The Wisdom of God
I Corinthians 3:18-20 “Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a ‘fool’ so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness,’ and again, ‘The LORD knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.’” I’m sure you can think of someone who is smarter than you.

The Alpha and Omega
Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and Omega,’ says the LORD God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’” Alpha and Omega—the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.

Such small words, but both have such a huge, almost incomprehensible meaning. Everything in …
Glimpses of His Magnificence
Deuteronomy 3:24 “O Sovereign LORD, You have begun to show to Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works You do?” Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Sovereign: supreme in power or authority Fear: profound reverence and awe toward God (definitions from the Life Application Study Bible) How powerful is your God? Have you ever really thought about that question? So often today, studies focus on God’s great love for …
Living to Expect
Have you ever had a common word, a word you have heard more times than you can count, all the sudden make you sit up straight and listen? A word that once you look more closely at makes your eyes grow wide and your lips part as you realize your chin is dropping to the ground? A word that just might have become a game changer in the way you look at it ever again? For me this happened recently with the word EXPECT. As the end of 2014 drew to a close I was struggling with life situations. I …
