Romans 16:20 And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. (WEB) Paul’s encouragement in today’s Scripture verse is simply that it is God who will crush every enemy under your feet. It isn’t your own power that will accomplish this, but your heavenly Dad’s! He has a father’s heart for you and promises to fight on your behalf! Exodus 14:14 says… “Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.” (WEB) I can remember a season in my life where I struggled with fear. No...

1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong! (WEB) I love the rapid fire encouragement that we receive in this very short but powerful verse…. Watch! … May we all be fully awake spiritually and aware of our spiritual surroundings. In Romans 13:11, the Apostle Paul encourages us to wake up from our slumber because our salvation is nearer now than we first believed.

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you— (WEB) I love the tenderness in which the Apostle shares today’s Bible reading with the Galatians church… With a mother’s heart toward them, he speaks of his travail in child birth on their behalf until Christ is formed in them. I appreciate how the Amplified Bible translates Galatians 4:19… My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you, (AMP) We are all in the process of having Christ completely and...

Philippians 4:19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (WEB) The Apostle Paul wrote today’s verse in response to the Philippian church’s generosity in helping spread the gospel. While this promise is applicable to every spiritual need as well, Paul is referring to their practical needs. I especially love how he personalizes the promise by saying… “My God will supply”. I truly believe that he could say, My God, because it was part of his own personal testimony. Whether he had little or much, Paul learned the secret of being...
