Devotional “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,” 1 Peter is a letter written by Peter to comfort Christians scattered throughout Roman provinces that were facing religious persecution. In 1 Peter 5, Peter refers to the church elders as shepherds, and encourages them to remain humble avoiding shameful gain. He notes that if they were to remain humble and lead as examples to the flock, the Chief Shepherd (Jesus

Devotional “The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.” I chose Psalm 33:16 as the first of many Psalms that we will discuss. This verse is an important reminder to those of us who care about our strength, that no matter how strong we become, it is not our strength that delivers us. Only God can save us.

Devotional “Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’” It is important to remember that all good things come from God. To provide context for this verse, for those who may not know, Deuteronomy is a collection of speeches by Moses that serve to remind the Israelites of the care that God showed them in their journey to Canaan. It reiterates many laws written earlier in the Pentateuch, or the first five books of the Old T

Devotional “For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.” Thessalonians was a letter to the church of the Thessalonians written by Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy. The writing style and thematic format are in line with Paul’s other writings, so primary authorship is attributed to Paul himself. The section that I would like to focus on today is Paul’s warning against idleness. In his first command, in verse 6, h
