Every gift reveals God’s love… but no gift reveals His love more than the gifts of the Cross.
Let’s allow the love of the Lord to wash over us today. Let’s focus our hearts on the gifts of the Cross and return that avalanche of love with faith, love, and devotion to Jesus.
When you’re walking with God, you will want to spend time with God’s people. But if you are not walking with God, then you probably won’t want to be around God’s people. Fellowship with God and fellowship with other believers go together.
Fellowship is praying together. It is serving together. It is growing and aging together. These are the fibers of fellowship. The apostle John wrote, “We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3 NLT).
As God's word is taken in, its capabilities are unleashed, demonstrating that it is "able to build you up and give you an inheritance." The believers at Thessalonica had such an experience with the Scriptures. "For this reason, we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe" (1 Thessalonians 2:13).
we would be wise to cultivate the same perspective that Job had toward God's word. "I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12).
When sorrows surround you, let the Bible be your helper.
