I am fully convinced, my dear brothers and sisters, that you are full of goodness (Romans 15:14, NLT). The Greek word for “goodness” is used four times in the New Testament and all by the Apostle Paul. This word is not found in any other writing of the ancient world; it is strictly a Pauline biblical …
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20, ESV). All of us can change the world through prayer. There isn’t a disease, political event, catastrophe, war, or relationship that can’t be influenced by prayer. Prayer is equal opportunity as you don’t need a certain …
Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him (1 Corinthians 7:17, ESV). From the office where I write Interruptions, I can look out my window and see the building where the patents for Orville and Wilbur Wright were filed. If it wasn’t for …
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; and confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands (Psalm 90:17, NASB 1995). Work can be fun, and work can be a pain. Sometimes in the same hour. But do we enjoy our work? I believe all of us want …

To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power (2 Thessalonians 1:11, ESV). Our calling is a narrow path of blessing from which we often wander. Our wandering, and sometimes resistance to God’s calling, …
I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthy of the calling with which you have been called (Ephesians 4:1, ESV). Look at your fingertips. They are one of a kind. No one else has your fingerprints. Consider your calling. It is one of a kind. No other person has your calling! The uniqueness …
Only as the Lord has assigned you, as God has called you, in this way you should walk (1 Corinthians 7:17 OGV). You have a narrow path of God’s calling. Your calling is the purpose that God created for you before time began. You are made with talents and have opportunities and resources to fulfill …
Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities of evil (Ephesians 6:12). The devil isn’t original; he subverts through counterfeits. There is the love of God and the counterfeit love of lust. The Bible talks about calling while the world discusses career. Should we seek our calling or plan for our career? …
Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. 1 Corinthians 7:17 Peace comes with calling.
