II Thessalonians 3:3 The Lord is faithful, and that was enough for Paul because he knew that he could not trust humankind.

Revelation 1:17 Jesus Christ introduced Himself as the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Throughout the Bible, God often reminds His people that He alone is the first, and the last and it means all things begin from Him and ends from Him. When we believe this truth that He is first…

Philippians 4:6 God wants us to live without fear, worry, and anxiety because He knows that these emotions are the weapons that Satan uses to paralyze us and distracts us from our relationship with Him.

Zephaniah 3:17 God’s mercies are new every day. He never changes but can change everything around us for our good. He is never far from us, even though we perceive that He seems to be far away from us. He loves and cares for us. It is essential that we train ourselves to see Him…

Remember that every situation —good or…

Luke 19:9 During Jesus’ time, tax collectors were much hated because they served the Romans at the expense of their own countrymen. Zacchaeus, a Jew, was the chief and corrupt tax collector.

Exodus 3:6 Have you ever wondered why God introduces Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? As the God of Abraham, He meant that He is the God who calls and chooses. He chose Abraham and promised to make him the father of many nations, which was impossible at the moment. It means…

Isaiah 40:31 The Old Testament is full of examples of how God’s people placed their trust in Jehovah and found that He is a faithful God and that He indeed gives strength to those who wait upon Him.
