Walking in the Truth

“For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth” (3 John 1:3-4 NASB)

Jesus said to His disciples, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:31-32) Are you truly free?

Arise and Shine

Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. (Isaiah 60:1)

The command is given to awake, arise and to shine. I’m sure most of us will have memory of a time when all we’ve wanted to do is stay in bed asleep.

Feasting on the Lord's Supply

“For I know that this will turn out for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:19)
