Words reveal the heart

Bible Text: Psalm 19.14 After a short break, we return to our daily time "On the Couch with God." Prayer is an essential part of our relationship with Jesus. Interestingly, prayer reflects much of what it is in the heart. The Lord knows what we think and consider the deepest secrets of our thoughts. He is not surprised. Our thoughts are known by Him. King David realised this fact. He knew when He wrote Psalm 19 that the Lord knew him, insight out, as God knows us. This is the reason why David finished this psalm with a prayer. "May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer" (Psalm 19.14). These are the words that many ministers start their sermons today. The reason is the significant meaning of this verse and the implications for our lives, even 3,000 years later. Jesus spoke openly about the same concept when He said, "For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of" (Luke 6.45). David...

Don’t Focus

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests....

God With Us

When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a Son. And he called His Name Jesus. (Matthew 1:24-25) I really admire Joseph. What courage he had, to simply wake up and go finalize the marriage, bringing his wife home—all on the basis of a dream. Mary and Zechariah both got to see an angel face to face. Joseph? Well, like his Old Testament namesake, he got his instructions in dreams. I think that most of us are a lot more like Joseph than like Mary in this. God speaks to us in less flamboyant ways—through the Bible, through prayer, through consultation with wise Christian friends. God makes Himself known, but He does it in ways that are easier to mistake. And we worry about that, don’t we? What if I get it wrong? What if I think God wants me to do something, and later on it turns into a disaster? We fret and worry, as if knowing God’s will were some sort of test we could scor...
