Bible Devotions and Inspirational Thoughts - Where there’s a Will Jesus is The Way

God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (1 John 4:16-18 NKJV)

There is a tendency to become fearful of the idea that God is absent from us when we are going through hard times; but there is no need to feel this way because God is love. And because God is love He will only do what is best for us, which means He won’t leave or forsake us for anything.

In other words, God won’t let us enter into the storms of life alone if we truly have a desire within our hearts to serve Him; rather, He will be with us every step of the way, to protect and shield us from the turbulent winds of the evil one. Thus God will be the Eye of the storm to us! [click to continue reading…]

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I believe that it would be a good addition to The Bible Post to add a post once a week containing a passage from the Bible that we can both memorize and comment on together.

In other words, I would like to encourage people to interact more with Scripture here. So if you would participate by memorizing and commenting on the Bible passages that I post on my blog once a week for this Bible Verse Memory Program, that would be excellent! [click to continue reading…]

Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, (Philippians 2:14-15 NKJV)

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it has been more than a week now since the Presidential election has closed its final chapter; yet, many people are still complaining and arguing about who has the right to take up the office of President of the United Sates of America. And to what avail? Will it really make a difference at this point to persist in arguing over these things? [click to continue reading…]

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NKJV)

Life moves in a cycle.  If we simply move with it, we too, will find ourselves saying,

“all is vanity and grasping for the wind.”(Ecclesiastes 1:14 NKJV)

In other words, the cycle of life will continue to draw us into moments that we would soon hope to forget, and move us away from experiences that we wouldn’t want to leave behind.  For, just as there is a time to mourn, there is a time to laugh; and when there is no more room left for laughter, mourning creeps into the heart again…

Hence, the cycle of life holds us captive to its unpredictable whims; and even though we may move about thinking we are free, freedom without Christ is but a myth, because as soon as the cycle turns, the next whim changes the thoughts again. [click to continue reading…]
