“Yet, you have not, because you ask not.” – James 4 :2 Very often, a lack in my life is due to a lack of prayer in my life.  Indeed … Jesus said: “Ask and you will receive” (Matthew 7:7). It´s that easy. “Yet, you have not, because you ask not.” James 4 :2 Our heavenly father is so good, that we only have to ask in prayer (sometimes insisting)

“Lean on the Lord with all your heart and mind, and do not trust in your own understanding. In all your ways know him, acknowledge him and recognize him, and he will direct and make straight your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5, 6 Some people proceed cautiously through life, living securely and avoiding taking risks. Others, more attracted to risk, can astonish people by boldly moving forward and achieving radical results.

“The LORD your God is with you, he declared. “He has given you peace with the surrounding nations. He has handed them over to me, and they are now subject to the LORD and his people. Now seek the LORD your God with all your heart and soul. Build the sanctuary of the LORD God so that you can bring the Ark of the LORD’s Covenant and the holy vessels

“Thou shalt not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow of the day, nor the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor the devastation of the noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, ten thousand at thy right hand, but they shall not touch thee… No evil shall befall thee, no plague shall come near thy dwelling” – Psalm 91:5-7, 10 The times we live in, our environment

“We live unto the Lord.” – Romans 14:8 If God had wanted, any of us could have entered heaven immediately after his conversion. It absolutely wasn´t necessary for our preparation for immorality in Christ that we stayed any longer here. It is possible that man is transported to heaven and considered apt to participate in the inheritance of the saints in the light, although he believes in Jesus only recently.

“And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them. If any man desires to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” – Mark 9:35 Did you know that Saul means “desired, required (for God)” and that Paul means “small?” God, who desires us ardently, wants to make us small. Yes … the values of God´s Kingdom are the opposite of those

“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things.” – Romans 11:36 The contrary of lack is not possession – it´s having the good shepherd at one’s side. Peace is not the absence of noise, of chaos or war – it´s the presence of the prince of peace. The antithesis of sin is not the “good” from the moral point of view, it´s the purity of the

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28 After John 3,16 and the famous Psalm 23, I think that this passage is the most well-known biblical verse for all of us. And this fame is not harmless and not without reason. This word of the Lord is so rich and

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” – 1. Thessalonians 4:14 Do not imagine that a born-again soul, once the last breath done, will sleep in insensitivity. The Christ murmurs to every dying saint: “Today, you will be with me in paradise”. They sleep in Jesus, but their soul is in front of the

“We are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” – Romans 8 :37 As Christians, we have the privilege to share the nature of God´s son – Jesus Christ.  That´s the reason why the bible says that we are children of God. What does that mean? Frankly spoken, when we have decided to follow Jesus, to ask for forgiveness for our sins and that we are born again, the

“For our God is a consuming fire.” – Hebrew 12 :29 Don’t you consider this as wonderful that our God is a devouring fire? All of him is fire. Jesus has eyes like flames of fire. The father reigns on a throne from which liquid fire comes out and flows like rivers stream at the bottom of a holy mountain   “For our God is a consuming fire.”Hebrew 12 :29

“And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water … And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.” – Numbers 20

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” – 1. John 4:4 We are all confronted to situations which could slow down our march with Jesus. What we confront is bigger and sometimes stronger, and it is easy to be intimidated and to live in fear, thinking that we could never go ahead.

“Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the LORD is finished correctly.” – 1 Chronicles 28:20 David had it on his heart to build a temple for the Lord. But

  “May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us.” – Psalm 67:1 As we stand at the beginning of a new week, let us take a rest to reflect on the profound implications of this verse. “May God be gracious to us,” it implores, reminding us that the grace of the Almighty knows no bounds. It flows freely, like a gentle river,

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5 The only way to trust the Lord is to trust his Word. You can’t trust the Lord without trusting His Word. God and his Word are one, just as you and your Word are one. And the Good News is that God’s Word is good because God is Good. God watches over
