Are We Worthy?
I went into this blog post because I wanted to share with women how worthy they are. Often times I feel we undervalue ourselves as girls and women. But when diving in, I’m wondering if “worthy” is the wrong descriptor. Does the bible ever say we are worthy? I’m not sure it does. I know it says we are valuable, known, loved, chosen and treasured, but worthy?
What are we worthy of?
Worthy means having or showing the qualities or abilities that merit recognition in a specified way. Do we in and of ourselves have the qualities that merit recognition in a godly sense?
What it means to Seek His Kingdom First
Our verse concludes Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount message about moral living and the unexpected ways of the Kingdom. He is speaking to his disciples and the large crowd that has begun to follow him. Jesus speaks to many things like the law, truth, giving, prayer, loving our enemies, and in our passage he is speaking about worry and anxiety. He references the flowers and the birds, does He not clothe and feed them? Does he not care for them? Have faith and trust. Are you not greater than the birds and flowers?
What it means to Enter The Narrow Gate
You have the decision between two ways in life and one of two destinations in which you want to go. Heaven or Hell.
If you are in the broad, easy path. It will likely lead to destruction, your destination - Hell. But narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to eternal life with Christ.
What it means to Act Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly
Quick context for Micah 6:8. Micah is picturing an imaginative court room. Israel is on trial before the Lord. God is bringing His case or complaint against His people, Israel. God asks them, “What have I done to you? “ I have done nothing but good for Israel (He shares examples) and I have been repaid with rejection and rebellion. And in this imaginative courtroom the Israelites call out “What do you want from me? We sacrifice like crazy and bring our precious offerings before you!”
What it means to Rise Up as a Christian
Isaiah 59 describes a time of thick and desperate darkness for the Israelites. But, Isaiah 60 is about the future glory for Jerusalem - a future Kingdom. It’s the promise coming. It’s God’s redeeming message and rescue. He is calling the Israelites out of the darkness and to respond to His wondrous light. He not only is the light to the nation but he gives them this same light to reflect his glory.
