Solid Joys Daily Devotional

We should emphasize that God loves and forgives for his own glory because the Bible does, and because it makes clear that God loves us with the greatest love.

God forgave us when we first believed in Christ. Then, from that broken, joyful, grateful, hopeful experience of being forgiven, we offer forgiveness to others.

Christians are included in the Davidic covenant. What David received, we will also receive in Christ Jesus.

Don’t let your ignorance of the micro reasons for suffering cause you to overlook the massive help God tells us in his word of his macro purposes for us.

Irresistable grace does not mean grace cannot be resisted. It means that when God chooses, he can and will overcome that resistance.

There is no hope for God’s people unless he causes them to return from their leaping into sin and unbelief.

Feeling rotten about your sin is not the same as repenting from it. But it can lead there.

The same God who feeds billions of birds every hour around the world will take care of you.

We get the help; God gets the glory. That arrangement keeps us humble and happy, and keeps him supreme and glorious.

Times of suffering and deliverance are both God’s stages of care for you. He has not left you or forsaken you.

Jesus will take care of you when you take care of others. That’s why there were leftovers after Jesus fed the multitudes.

Jesus provides an ever-present, ever-living witness to the removal of the Father’s wrath from us.

When Jesus says, “I will grant him to sit with me on my throne,” he promises us a share in the rule of all things.

Jesus anchored the happiness of suffering saints in the reward of heaven. And he anchored the happiness of successful saints in the same.

If we don’t call to mind what God has said about himself and about us, we will languish. God is the God of the impossible.
