Stories and teaching from God’s Word and how to apply them to our journey to wellness
Have you ever tried to bargain with God? We can learn from the story of Jephthah in the Bible. We may be tempted to bargain with God but He keeps His promises, including the greatest promise of all, His Son, who offers forgiveness and eternal life for all who believe in Him.
We feel unlovable, unworthy, and broken when we experience rejection. God puts our broken pieces back to together to make something beautiful. We are rejected by others, but accepted by God. Overcome rejection by meditating on the truth in scripture— God sent His beloved Son to die so He could have a relationship with you!
What is the difference between faith and trust? Do they mean the same thing? Or does one come before the other? Trust is a choice to rely on God and puts our faith into practice. Is God prompting you to do something? Do you have faith to trust God’s plan and take action?
When Jesus was crucified on the cross, two thieves on either side mocked and insulted him. However, one thief realized Jesus was the son of God, and asked for mercy. What lessons can we learn from the two thieves?
Do you seek God’s help when things are going well? If our lives are running smoothly, we might think we don’t need God. However, we develop resilience from suffering because it grows our faith. The stories of Caleb and Abigail’s resilience in the Bible show us how suffering and faith develop our resilience.
