God is good. Together we affirm this statement. We agree with it. We speak it to others. We stand upon it as an affirmation of our faith. Acts of lovingkindness are the expressions of His goodness directed toward us always and continually. He knows what we need far better than we do. 

God is good. Until He isn’t.

What are some of the ways that we focus on the powers of this world over the power of God?  As we will see in the life of King Hezekiah, we should bring all our concerns before the Lord, acknowledge His power over all things, and pray for righteousness to prevail.

Luke 4 says, When day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place...  

Can you imagine how burned out Jesus must’ve been this morning? The previous afternoon and into the evening, all the people of the surrounding areas were pushing and shoving to see Him; talk to Him; be healed by Him.

Let's study how Jesus responds to weariness, so we can learn to be more like Him.

Deuteronomy 29:29 - The secret things belong to the Lord our God...  

Have you ever read this verse or heard it quoted? Most of you have. It can bring comfort to those of faith who are having a hard time making sense of it all. And it’s good to be reminded that by faith, we should trust that He has a plan.

While Jesus is in Capernaum, He publicly casts out a demon in the synagogue, privately heals Peter’s mother-in-law, and publicly cast out demons and healed everyone in the village who was sick. Matthew tells us that these events in Capernaum were done to fulfill what Isaiah the prophet wrote.

We're continuing the study of the book of Luke, and Jesus’ acts of healing. The day that started with the public casting out of a demon and the private healing of Peter’s mother-in-law set the stage for a healing service. That afternoon, all the people of the village gathered outside of Peter’s home after the word spread about the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law. They brought any and all of their loved ones who were sick or oppressed to Jesus.

In today’s passage, we’re studying the story of Jesus healing Peter’s mother-in-law. There were hundreds of thousands of other moments in Jesus’ life that could've been included in the Bible, but God chose this one. Why?

Today we're continuing the study of Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." Last time, we considered the horror of natural disasters and the havoc they wreak on the lives of people. But in our study today, we are reminded of God’s power and His will.

Psalm 46:10 reads, "Be still and know that I am God." This verse is straightforward, which is good. But is there more that we can discover from considering the verses that surround it? What is the context of this familiar verse?

Today's devotional is an excerpt from What I've Learned From Amazing Women of the Bible. In today's passage, we read "then Hannah prayed" — and what a prayer it is! By reflecting on her prayer, we can see that God uses humble servants, male and female, who devote their hearts to prayer with praise and thanksgiving.
