Persistence in prayer
Luke 11:8-9, “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs. And I say to you, ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall

Even before
Psalm 139:1-4, “O Lord, Thou has searched me and known me. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thos dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted in all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold O Lord, Thou dost know

Wings like eagles
Isaiah 40:31, “Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” Crows will sometimes attack eagles. But the eagle does not fight back. Instead, it flies higher than the crow can ascend. As

Go forward
Exodus 14:15, “Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.” Moses had just told the people of Israel in verse 14, “Don’t fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today.” There are times

Cry out
Psalm 107:6, “Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, He delivered them out of their distress.” This verse is repeated three more times in this chapter, verses 13, 19 and 28. Psalm 107 begins with “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.” I was

He stands by you
Isaiah 41:10, “Do not fear, for I am with you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely, I will help you, surely, I will uphold you with My righteous hand.” Remember Freshman Initiation? Notice I didn’t say Freshman Orientation. The high school I attended had Freshman Initiation. It was a small town

Pursuit of faith
Romans 9:32, “Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as though it were by works, they stumbled over the stumbling stone.” There is a difference between a volunteer and a paid worker. The tasks are usually the same. However, the difference is the reason behind the effort. One chooses to participate in

In the midst
Daniel 3:24-25, “Then Nebuchadnezzar, the king, was astounded and said to his high officials, “Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “Certainly, O King.” He answered and said, “Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of

Someone is looking
James 5:9, “Do not complain brethren against one another, that you yourselves may not be judged, behold the Judge is standing right at the door.” When I was a kid, the most feared words to come out of my mother’s mouth were “Wait until your father gets home.” We knew we were in big trouble.

How’s your heart?
1 Samuel 16:7, “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his outward appearance, because I have rejected him: for God does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”. There is a commercial with a guy who sets up a kiosk
