When man looks for help and salvation in this world without looking to Christ, he is turning his eyes on the wrong sources of help. Jesus has made us and only Jesus can save us, turn your eyes on Him!

"Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" Isaiah 17:7

Jesus is the Only King Worthy of Our Trust and Confidence. He is the Only One Who Can Protect Us and Put Us Back Together.

"Choosing King Jesus" Isaiah 16:5

In troubled time and at all times, God alone is the only safe place we can shelter our lives.

"God is Our Refuge" Isaiah 14:32

Having an abundance of possessions creates a situation in which we can live pridefully against God- and maybe not even realize it. We must be on guard against our possessions possessing us, for God will not share His glory with another.

"Possessed by Our Possessions"  Isaiah 3:16-26

A sad fact of church history is that churches fight. Equally sad is the fact that we serve the cause of Satan to tear the church down by fighting with each other rather than the cause of Christ to build it up. After graciously leading us to put on His armor to stand against all the schemes of Satan and to lift each other in prayer always, God now leads us to make certain we don't bring war into the church.

"Don't Make War in the Church" Ephesians 6:21-23

Many people believe they can be right with God and have nothing to do with God's church. We all have people in our lives that think that way. And we'd like to believe that they are all going to Heaven without going to church- but is that really the case? If we have no love for being with God's people, we have no love of God in us. If God's love isn't in us, we have no salvation.

"Going to Church: To Be Saved or Because You Are Saved?" Nehemiah 13: 15-22

Do you find your joy in God leaves your heart quickly and easily with the trials and even annoyances of life? Be encouraged to know that God is committed to your joy- He even commands you to be joyous in Him! Let's be sure that the joy, joy, joy, joy He gives isn't buried so far down in our hearts that nobody ever sees it and we don't live it to God's glory!

The Joy of a Purified People Nehemiah 12:27-31

Jesus described our need of repentance in such graphic terms as gouging our eyes out and cutting off our hands. His point is that we must do whatever is required to turn from our sin and turn to Him. It's not always easy, but He gives us the grace to do war in our souls and come out victorious.

The Violence of Repentance Nehemiah 10:30-31

God has a standard by which He does all things- the standard of glorifying Himself. We benefit from this standard because He is glorified through His righteousness and faithfulness to us!

He is Righteous and Faithful Nehemiah 9:32-33

In the life everyone will eventually leave us- or we will leave them. Everything here is uncertain and shaky, but there's one solid, sure hope for every believer- Jesus will never, never, never leave us or forsake us!

"He Will Never Leave You" Nehemiah 9:18-19

God Delights to Be the Provider of His Peoples Needs.

"Jehovah Jireh" Nehemiah 9:15

It might bust some peoples bubble to learn that God loves Himself above all. Sounds vain, and it would be if it comes from us, but His love of self is actually the foundation upon which we can have true joy and happiness! His love for Himself and our love for Him culminate in our joy as He is glorified.

"Loving a God that Loves Himself More than You" Nehemiah 9:5

In a world filled with new- most of it fake and a great deal of it bad- it is truly good to hear true good news! And what is the good news? God has come to us that we can finally stop searching in vain for joy in the world and have joy forever by having Him.

"Good News of Great Joy" Luke 2:10-11

We support the cause of God when we support the people of God, and God is glad to remember us favorably when we do!

"Remember Me Favorably" Nehemiah 5:17-19

In Our Strife Filled Lives, Christ Alone is Our Peace.

"He is Our Peace" Ephesians 2:14-16

God gave Ezekiel a glorious vision of a future temple. The vision spoke hope to the Israelites in captivity and speaks great hope to us as well. God gives us the encouragement needed to keep on keeping on!

"Hope for We Exiles" Ezekiel 40:1-4

No other religion in the world has a God for sinners except Christianity. Through Christ Jesus God Will Judge Those Who Oppose Him, Discipline Those Who Stray and Forgive All that Will Call On His Name.

"A God for Sinners" Ezekiel 39:21-29

It might burst our human egos to learn that God's first interest isn't in us but in Himself. He does all things for the sake of His name- and we can be thankful for it!

"For the Sake of His Holy Name" Ezekiel 36:16-38

The task of a shepherd is to provide, protect and guide his sheep and rescue them when they wander off and put themselves in danger. This is what God does for all that love Him!

"The Good Shepherd" Ezekiel 34:25-31
