Job 25:2God regeert in zijn hoge hemel en bewaart daar de vrede. Hij heerst en Hij is ontzagwekkend. (BB) Het nieuwe normaal is druk zijn, bezig zijn, dingen ondernemen. Vraag het maar aan je collega’s of vrienden. Wanneer je vraagt: “Hoe is het?” is het antwoord vaak “Druk”. Zelf merk ik dan ook dat rust […]
1 Thessalonians 4:18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. In the last part of this chapter, Paul writes about life and death. He encourages the Christians in Thessalonica that they need not grieve when someone dies. ‘Do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope’ (verse 13). The reason is that those […]
Luke 24:6-8 ‘Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’’ Then they remembered his words. Jesus called Himself the Son of man over seventy times in the New Testament. Have […]
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. The person Jesus is the greatest mystery revealed of all time. He is both God and man. His conception was a miracle: the virgin became pregnant and gave birth to the God-man. Jesus […]
Isaiah 3:10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. What a sobering chapter this is. God is making very clear what will happen to Judah and Jerusalem, because of their departure from the Most High and His principles. They will be economically hit. They will lose […]
Esther 4:14 If you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this? There are two days that are very important to you. The first […]
1 John 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. Many people think that God’s grace is there to forgive us from our sins. This is partly true. God’s grace has two sides. The […]
Hebrews 4:2-3 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest. The good news in itself will not save anyone. […]
Proverbs 16:26 The thought of hunger keeps the workers working so that they can eat. (EASY) What are you hungry for? What is more important for you to eat? Is eternal life, and fellowship with God on the top of things you are currently working for? One thing I wasn’t working hard for was fasting; […]
1 Chronicles 13:14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house for three months, and the Lord blessed his household and everything he had. The presence of God is not something to be taken lightly. There are many commentaries on what happened to Uzzah and why, one thing that remains is that God’s […]
