Daily Prayer

How do we love people we don’t agree with? How do we care for and show respect to those who aren’t like us? As we open our Bible and begin to read the very first chapter of Genesis, we discover all men and women are created equal in God’s image. We are endowed with the same rights and designed with the same qualities by an all-powerful Maker. This thread of equality runs throughout the entirety of God’s word and as Christians, we are commanded to express those values to others. We need to equip ourselves with the knowledge of God’s word to combat the false teaching of racism, ...

While I’m waiting and praying, I have been learning a great deal as I re-study all these prayers—the most stunning is probably the tally of answered prayers in Scripture. The “Yeses” just keep piling up! Is that surprising to you, too? What also surprises me is what we are taught in church about prayer. This may depend upon your denomination and background, but most Christians I have talked to have common ideas about prayer. However, if you dig into the Scripture, you can’t really find examples of these things actually happening. These ideas are taught to young children, and they ...

Meeting with God as a human being is an incredible phenomenon. Imagine this Spirit Being appearing to the humans who call for Him. God shows up when called for because that is what He promised in Jeremiah 33:3. How then does He show up, and can a person know He is there? God appears in the great things in life, but He can also appear in the difficulties of life. Either way, His invisible presence will ultimately be identified, though not always immediately. Why does this spirit God desire this perpetual interaction with human beings? It is simpler than one may realize. We were created to ...

In the 30th chapter of Proverbs we meet Agur son of Jakeh. Historically almost nothing is known of him. However, he issues a call to us across the ages to truly know the person of God and to rely on Him. The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh contain this message. I am weary, O God; I am weary and worn out, O God. I am too stupid to be human, and I lack common sense. I have not mastered human wisdom, nor do I know the Holy One. Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down? Who holds the wind in his fists? Who wraps up the oceans in his cloak? Who has created the whole wide world? What is his...

It would be perfect. But we have free will. God gave us that—because what is love received from a robot? It isn’t love. And also, we wouldn’t be made in His image if we...
