(1 Corinthians 1:18-25)…..18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom …
I want you to read the verse again from yesterday’s devotion, but I want to focus in on another word that is used in that passage, the word “gospel.” (Romans 16:21-27)…..21 Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you. 22 I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. 24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ …
(Romans 16:21-27)…..21 Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you. 22 I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. 24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation …
(Psalm 27:11-14)…..Teach me Your way, O Lord, and lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies. 12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!

(Psalm 24:3-10)…..Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the …
(Romans 5:6)…..Christ died for the ungodly. Jesus Christ did not come to earth to help those who have it altogether, who think they are well, but to help ungodly sinners. (Romans 5:8)…..But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus paid the price required by God for the forgiveness of all sins through His death. (Ephesians 1:7)…..In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. The spiritual battle that happens …
Why is it that we can trust God? Because He is Lord (my Lord) – (Adonay; Ad-o-noy). He has authority and power, and is matchless in His being. David wrote “The LORD said to my Lord…” (Psalm 110:1). Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:27-28). Paul wrote, “…Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:7-8), by virtue of His death and resurrection (Romans 14:8-9). Peter also proclaimed Jesus as Lord to the Jews on Pentecost (Acts 2:36). and to the Gentiles at Cornelius’ home …
(Psalm 30:1-12)…..1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me. 3 O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. 5 For His anger is but for a …
(Psalm 88:1-18)…..O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You. 2 Let my prayer come before You; ]Incline Your ear to my cry. 3 For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near to the grave. 4 I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength, 5 Adrift among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And who are cut off …
(James 1:19-20)…..So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Take a look at what is happening all around us in our society. It has made so many frustrated and angry, which I can totally understand. This time we live in seems to be a major trial for many, especially for the Christian who is trying to navigate through all the wickedness that we see these days. Yet …
