Give to God What Belongs to God
We all face the pressure that comes from the expectations that others place upon us in our lives. But perhaps one of the greatest negative pressures comes from the world wanting us to conform to its ideals and expectations.
There is a tug-o-war going on, and we need to overcome it like Jesus did.
Jesus Sympathizes With You
Hebrews 2:14 Jesus was a human being with flesh and blood just like we are.

Strong in the Spirit

Serving According to Your Strengths
Serving According to Your Strengths
The Joy of the Lord Is Your Strength
Nehemiah 8:1 The people of Israel had been living in exile in Babylon for 70 years. They had just returned to the land of Israel and rebuilt Jerusalem. Now Ezra is teaching the people how to live according to God’s commandments.
God’s Love Strengthens Us
Psalm 21: 6-7 Through Yahweh’s lovingkindness, David found strength.
The Hebrew word chesed is translated “lovingkindness” in the NASB and in the ESV “steadfast love”. In Micah 7 in the NASB, chesed was translated “unchanging love”. Lovingkindness, steadfast love, and unchanging love combined provide a good definition of God’s love.
Where Does Your Strength Come From?
Jeremiah 32:16-25 Jeremiah began his prayer by speaking of God’s awesome power in creation and in bringing Israel out from Egypt. With Jerusalem facing an invading Babylonian army, Jeremiah rightly understands this as another act of God’s power. Even so, he believes that afterwards the people will return, and God will bring them back to the land.
