The biggest hindrance for Christians is what we look at. Are we spending time looking at the holy or the lowly? If we dwell on the things of the world, we will be hindered, weighted down with these things that we let in – Psalm 101 shows us this contrast. Will we instead focus on…
In 1 Corinthians 15:58 we see a challenge from Christ to be steadfast, unmovable, and abound in the work of our Lord and Savior. If we really want to live a fulfilling life, then we must be focused on the work of our Lord no matter what our career or position in life might be.…
Ultimately God is preparing us for eternity, yet what is the practical product of our preparation while we’re still here on Earth? We must consider how God wants us to be in His Word, focused and faithful to Him, relying on Him for our very sustenance each day. In 1 Samuel 18:12-16, we see the…
