Under heaven’s lock and key, we are protected by the most efficient security system available–the power of God.

From 1 Peter 1:5:  By this great mercy He [God] has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ . . . and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and  unfading, kept in heaven for you, who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

While you can’t do much about your ancestors, you can influence your descendants greatly.

From Psalm 127:1:  “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.  Unless the Lord guards the city, the guard keeps watch in vain.”

There is a difference between doubt and unbelief.  Doubt is a matter of mind:  we cannot understand what God is doing or why He is doing it.  Unbelief is a matter of will:  we refuse to believe God’s Word and obey what He tells us to do.

From Mark 9:24:  “Immediately the father of the child cried out, ‘I believe; help my unbelief!'”

It takes calm, thoughtful, prayerful meditation on the Word to extract its deepest nourishment.

From Joshua 1:8:  “This book of law shall not depart out of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it.”

The challenge before us is to have faith in God, and the hardest part of faith is waiting.

From 1 Corinthians 16:13-14:  “Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.  Let all that you do be done in love.”
