As we follow God, we should come to expect great things from God as we attempt great things for Him. Isaiah, in Isaiah 54:1-4, wanted Israel to trust God, to enlarge the place of their tent, to prepare for what God had for them. Today, what are we doing? What are our expectations?
Many times in the Bible we see those that trust in God later turn from God. One such example is King Asa that we read about in 2 Chronicles 14-16 as he greatly trusted in God early in his life but after 20 years of peace trusted in himself instead of God. Friend, as a…
A lack of faith can cause us to sink in the world around us. Yet if we will call out, Lord, Save Me, He will answer. Matthew 14:23-33 provides this great example of our need to keep our faith placed in our Savior as we go through life each day.

We all need comfort in our lives. Paul reminds us of this need in 2 Corinthians 1:4 as he writes the church of Corinth – God loves us too much to leave us where we are! But will we allow Him to lead and guide our lives, to comfort us in our time of need,…
Being patient comes naturally for some people. Many, however, have to have it now. James 5:7-14 reminds us of the importance of patience in our life and in our relationship with God as we wait on Him to fulfill His promises in our lives.
One of the many attributes of God is that He is our Comforter. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 we see the necessity to go to God for all our comfort instead of the things of this world. Whom will you depend on in your time of need?
Job should be an inspiration to all of us. As we look at his life and how he responded in Job 1:20-22, we see that even in defeat he trusted God.
