Sowing and Reaping

"For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." Galatians 6:8

Those who listen to their hearts will only reap corruption and deceit, but those who listen to reason and strive to get to know and please God will inherit eternal life.

Man of War

"But God said to me, 'You shall not build a house for My name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.'" 1 Chronicles 28:3

David was known as a "man of war" because he lived by faith. Those who live by faith are in constant war against the powers of darkness. Solomon was wise and full of knowledge, but he could never be considered as a man of war - or a man of faith.

Moment of Despair

"There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!” Psalm 4:6

There are many crying out in affliction in this world. But the Lord only reveals Himself to the sincere of heart. Somehow, they end up getting to know the Everlasting of Israel.
