Christ Can
“I labor, striving
according to His power, which mightily works within me.” Colossians 1:29, NASB
God was with Abraham, even calling the patriarch his friend .
. .
But he is in you; you have a million resources that you did
not have before! . . .
Can’t stop worrying? Christ can. And he lives within you.
Can’t forget the past, or forsake your bad habits? Christ can! And he lives
within you.
Valuable to Him
“Be happy with me
because I found my lost sheep.” Luke
15:6
When Jesus told the story of the missing sheep, some of the
people who were listening wiped away a tear because they knew how it feels to
be lost among the crowd. Jesus wanted us to understand that we have a Father
who sees and cares for each one of his children—that we are all equally
valuable to him.
Goodness and Mercy
“Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6, NKJV
What a huge statement. Look at the size of it! Goodness and
mercy follow the child of God each and every day! Think of the days that lie
ahead. What do you see? Days at home with only toddlers? God will be at your
side. Days in a dead-end job? He will take your hand. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me—not some, not most, not nearly all—but all the days of my life.

Being Busy
“Those who believe in
God will be careful to use their lives for doing good.” Titus 3:8
Being busy is not a sin. Jesus was busy. Paul was busy. Peter
was busy. Nothing of significance is achieved without effort and hard work and
weariness. That, in and of itself, is not a sin. But being busy in an endless
pursuit of things that leave us empty and hollow and broken inside—that cannot
be pleasing to God.
