Despise evil and embrace everything that is good and virtuous” (TPT). Today, we will continue to look at the … Continue reading Wearing a Mask

The Faithfulness of God
Today passage asks the question — does a person’s unbelief weaken God’s faithfulness? We read in His Word that if we ask and we believe, we receive (Matthew 21:22, Mark 11:24).

Greatness of God
Read Psalm 86. The prayer I said before eating as a child began: “God is good. God is great.” God is great. Psalm 86:10b says, “What greatness belongs to You” (TPT). Today, we will look at the greatness of God. God is great. He is incomprehensible. We cannot fully know Him. Psalm 139:6 says, “Such … Continue reading Greatness of God
