I just have to entrust to God the results of whatever work I do right now and my plans for the future will firm up. ______________________________ Scripture quotation is from the New American Standard Bible, Bible App by YouVersion.com ________________________________ Art courtesy of YouVersion Bible app. I…
If I am going to be a men pleaser I cannot be a believer.

From the previous verse “there” refers to “the remotest part of the sea.” The whole psalm talks about the fact that God never loses track of me wherever I am and whatever I do. He is always there with me and for me. He even thinks of me all the time. Whoa! What an awesome…
his passage comes from an epistle written by Jude, a half-brother of Jesus (son of Mary and Joseph). Though Jesus’ siblings did not believe Him when He was still alive and was teaching on the Kingdom of God, the Bible explicitly records that two of them (Jude and James) became believers after He was resurrected…

(John 10:1-18) The sheep also know His voice but do not recognize the voice of strangers or fake shepherds. Sheep, by nature, recognize the voice of their shepherd and will follow…
