My People, Your God, Jeremiah 30:OT S1:E515

Powerful Prayer, James 5, NT S1:E274

When we underestimate the power of prayer, is it because we underestimate God or our own abilities? Either way, let us lean in to prayer and pray boldly, so that we are blessed by seeing God do what only He can do in our lives.

Determined for Good, Ezekiel 2-3, OT S1:E537

God calls the priest Ezekiel to be a prophet. He will prophecy to a nation that will refuse to listen. But instead of caving, Ezekiel is called to be faithful and true, determined to do good instead of placating evil.

Beyond Imagination, Ezekiel 1, OT S1:E536

Ezekiel is a contemporary of Jeremiah, who prophecied to the exiles from Judah in Babylon. Much like John the Apostle's Revelation, Ezekiel sees things that defy human comprehension. But what is crystal clear in these visions is that God is on His throne, reigning over all things, no matter what.

Lord Willing! James 4, NT S1:E273

Corrie Ten Boom is famous for saying, "hold your plans lightly." There is great wisdom in this, because only when we are intent on listening to God, and following His way, will we be blessed to see Him work more and more in our lives. My Grandpa Lepley always used to say, "Lord willing," when someone asked him about his future plans. Now I know why.

Needless, Godless Suffering, Lamentations 5, OT S1:E535

In exile, God's people finally repent and return to the Lord in faith! How much needless suffering could have been avoided had they listened to the Lord instead of being destroyed for their disobedience? May we learn to listen to the Lord in faith, instead of learning the hard way by suffering needlessly for our own sin.
