Amazing Grace And Strength In Hard Times

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. Hebrews 4:16 (NLT) We have all been through difficult times and have experienced circumstances that seemed beyond our control. I’m talking about those times when you’ve tried everything you knew how to do, but still nothing changed. As frustrating and sometimes painful as these times are, you are not alone. God’s promise to us is that in those times, we can rely on His grace! God’s grace can be yours every day, enabling you to live your life to the fullest.

¡Usted es maravilloso!

Te alabo porque estoy maravillado, porque es maravilloso lo que has hecho. ¡De ello estoy bien convencido! Salmos 139:14 (DHH) En nuestro ocupado mundo, enfocado al desempeño y la apariencia, podemos tender a basar nuestro valor propio en los lugares equivocados, midiendo nuestro valor por lo que hacemos, por quién conocemos, por lo que somos y por lo que tenemos. Pero no es así como Dios mide nuestro valor. El Salmo 139 nos provee una gran visión sobre lo que Dios piensa de usted. Usted es su creación. No importa si sus padres lo planearon o no. ¡Dios lo valora y ama lo que él creó! Usted posee dones y habilidades. Todas las obras de Dios son maravillosas, así que usted fue una creación magistral desde …

However, the more you think about (meditate on) it, the more you retain. Psalm 1:2 teaches you to keep your thoughts focused on God’s Word and verse 3 reveals what happens when you do. By meditating on …

Pero hay un segundo: “Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.” Ningún mandamiento es más importante que éstos. Marcos 12:31 (DHH) Si usted quiere tener buenas relaciones, debe aprender a amarse a sí mismo. Ayer comenzamos una nueva serie sobre cómo desarrollar un amor sano por usted mismo. Este amor sano no es un amor narcisista, egoísta o interesado. Es un sano respeto por usted mismo basado en su verdadero valor, determinado en quien Dios lo hizo para ser y lo que él dice acerca de usted en su Palabra. En el desarrollo de este amor sano por usted mismo, hay dos aspectos involucrados. Marcos 12:30 revela el primero: “Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón y con toda tu alma y …

How To Take Thoughts Captive

Leon FontaineDevoted

Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) 2 Corinthians 10:5 gives us clear instruction on how to keep our thought-life healthy—by taking every thought captive. But how do we accomplish this seemingly impossible task? The key to your success lies within three simple steps: realizing when you are thinking negatively, rejecting the lie and choosing to meditate on the truth. The first two steps involve becoming more aware. Let’s pretend that you have just walked into a roomful of people you don’t know and you find yourself thinking, “these people aren’t going to like me”. Step one is to question… Is that the …
