If I admit it, sometimes I’m afraid to pray. But the prayers of Moses can give me new courage when I’m in a tough situation.

I'm thinking about King David, running from his enemies, when he prayed, “For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down.”

Political leaders may fix some things for a season, but they can’t make everything right. But as bad as politics might be, neither politics nor even politicians created the brokenness. We are the problem.

Maybe you’re seeking shelter from the chaos of this world. Maybe you’re seeking security when time comes to an end. In either case, Psalm 16 promises comfort.

Our everyday memory fails us for a variety of reasons. More important is deciding to remember God’s goodness day after day.

Since we’ve been children, we’ve been told not to lie. But an examination of Scripture reminds us that this is a very adult directive.

With our limited human understanding and experience, we may believe Scripture says far less than what we should really believe!

Remember the facts of what God has done. See the pictures of what he has promised. Together, these are powerful steps leading us to faith.

I’m big on moving to the next, better thing. But the story of Moses and the Israelites reminds me that the next step always requires giving up something picked up along the path already finished.

I’m not surprised that the Israelites were so worried about food in the wilderness. But I am concerned when I’m not hungrier for God.

What’s the distance between grateful and grumpy? Based on what I’ve seen, it’s not very far. You can judge yourself for yourself, but let me speak about my own situation.

We may visit lovely and comfortable destinations on earth, but God has created a place where we can live with him forever.

One night. Two different decisions. Two lasting legacies. We wonder which of our decisions will have such an impact.

Physical proximity to Jesus didn’t guarantee that those around him were really close. What can we do to be sure we’re not far away from God?

Answering God’s call can lead you to please him, but sometimes, at least for a while, it makes your life more difficult. How to cope when obedience brings suffering.

The fascinating story of Moses begins before where we sometimes think—with three strong women who filled important roles in his unusual family of origin.

The story of Moses is a story of God at work to relieve the oppression of his people. We can look at Moses and wonder how God will use us to do something similar.

Have you noticed Jesus walking around lately? From creation, God has wanted his presence to be known by his people.

The father said, "I believe, but help my unbelief." And we may say those words ourselves.

Jesus warned his disciples against getting caught up in the political system that was attacking him. His words give us reason to ponder our situation today.
