God’s will is a mystery. The Bible makes that clear, but maybe it’s not as mysterious as we make it. In the Bible, mystery never means “something we can’t understand.” It is more like a great mystery novel. There are twists and turns, but in the end, all will be revealed. That is why I love Sherlock Holmes stories. Everything is a mystery… until it isn’t. And this is true of our faith. God’s will is a mystery because we can’t get our minds wrapped around it. There is a difference between a mystery and a secret. God wants to reveal the mystery of His will to us. He isn’t holding onto a secret.   About the One Verse Devotional One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.   Is it hard to find time to spend with God and grow your Christian faith?

We have all experienced low times in our lives. Times of anxiety, fear, or mourning. In today’s One Verse, David remembers a time when he was at his lowest. He talks about being clothed in sackcloth, something you would only wear during times of deep mourning in the ancient world. Yet, David praises God because He turned his wailing into dancing. God’s love, grace, and forgiveness can take the lowest points of our lives and turn them into something greater. A celebration. A time of dancing. If you are hurting today, look to God and let Him turn your depression to dancing.   About the One Verse Devotional One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.   Is it hard to find time to spend with God and grow your Christian faith?

We’ve all used empty words. Filler. Small talk. Meaningless. But God never speaks just to hear His Own Voice. His Word, God says, will never return empty. Whatever He speaks into our lives, He promises us that It will continue to work and flourish, accomplishing the purpose He has in store. Place your trust in God’s Word.

We learned from our last One Verse, 2 Corinthians 1:3, that our God is the God of all Comfort and the Father of Compassion. Today, we look at the very next verse that continues this thought. 2 Corinthians 1:4 tells us that God has given us comfort, not just for ourselves, but so that we can pass along that comfort and compassion to others who are hurting. This is what it means to be a Light Bearer.   About One Verse One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.   Is it hard to find time to spend with God and grow your Christian faith?

Can our faith have an effect on our friends? According to today’s One Verse, it does! Mark 2 is an amazing story of friends showing up to help. They did all they could to get their friend in front of Jesus (I thought “Let’s tear the roof off this place!” was just an expression). And Jesus makes it clear: The man was healed because of the faith of his friends. What does that mean for us today? It makes me want to be a better friend.

“I stand at the door and knock.” This is a famous verse that many Christians are familiar with. Maybe you remember the well known painting of Jesus knocking on the door. But here is the sobering part of this verse: It’s not a “salvation” verse. Jesus was speaking to the Church! At some point, Jesus was pushed out. Now, He patiently waits outside the door, knocking, and hoping that someone will invite Him back in. What a tragedy for that church.
