They would rather stay where they are than risk a change. God has a way of drying up our brooks to move us on to greater blessings.

When the Brook Runs Dry

Charles Stanley

At first, there was plenty of water in the brook where God had led Elijah to set up camp (1 Kings 17:2–5). The Lord commanded the birds of the air to feed His prophet. Many scholars tell how Elijah was fed by ravens—animals that were scavengers. Regardless of the method, God provided for His prophet. Elijah lacked nothing; then one day the brook began to dry up, and the Lord instructed him to leave that place.

Hope emerges when favour of God dawns upon your life.

God’s Favour - New Beginning in Life

Augustine Ampratwum-duah

Though surrounded by friends, we have to realize that after all we live, suffer, and must die alone. Noah was an upright and straightforward man, always clear as crystal and eschewing a life of unfaithfulness. For that matter, the eyes of Almighty God favourably looked toward him in his generation.

Father, today I declare the reality of my salvation and Your divine favour upon me.

God’s Favour and Salvation

Augustine Ampratwum Duah

It is very instructive to know that there is a time in God’s economy when He listens to sinners and responds to those who are repentant – precisely, this is the day of salvation. That day of salvation is congruous to God’s divine favour

Clearly, true faith has objective substance. There is an intellectual content to our faith.

Faith Has Substance

John MacArthur

Absolutely nothing we do can please God apart from this kind of faith. Without faith, pleasing God is impossible. Religion, racial heritage, meritorious works—everything the Hebrews regarded as pleasing to God—is utterly futile apart from faith.

To be a Christian, in the true sense of the term, is to be a wholehearted follower of Jesus Christ

What Does it Mean to be a Christian?

John MacArthur

For some, being “Christian” is primarily cultural and traditional, a nominal title inherited from a previous generation, the net effect of which involves avoiding certain behaviors and occasionally attending church.

Every false religion ever devised by mankind or by Satan is a religion of human merit.

What Makes Christianity Different

John MacArthur

There are, after all, only two kinds of religion in all the world. Every false religion ever devised by mankind or by Satan is a religion of human merit.

Christ rose from the dead in triumph, gaining redemption for Adam’s fallen race, while destroying the works of the devil.

The Beginning of a Promise

John MacArthur

Christ rose from the dead in triumph, gaining redemption for Adam’s fallen race, while destroying the works of the devil. And in that act he sealed Satan’s final defeat, crushing the serpent’s head as promised.

Moralism was never the message of the Old Testament prophets. It was never the message of the Messiah.

Moralism is Not the True Gospel

John MacArthur

In Matthew 23:13–39, Jesus pronounced a series of woes on the religious leaders of His time. Again, these were the most moral people of His society, people who were obsessive about keeping the smallest of Old Testament laws and Jewish traditions.

All the glorious perfections of His nature are thrown around the man who abides in Him.

What Will Abiding in Christ Secure?

James Smith

Noah was not so safe in his ark; Lot was not so safe in Zoar; the man-slayer was not so safe in the city of refuge—as the true believer is in Christ. Abiding in Christ, to him there is no condemnation; every sin is pardoned; the whole, the perfect, the glorious righteousness of Christ is his!
