No Greater Name
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11) Sometimes less is more. Today’s thought may be few in words, but the words used hold more than all the words mankind has ever uttered or even thought of! There truly is no MORE—no greater name than the Name of Jesus.

Consider His Image
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27) Please forgive me for my obvious passion for the unborn . . . but with the anniversary for the landmark court decision popularly known as Roe v. Wade this week, I can’t think of a better time to explore the value of mankind in the eyes of a Holy and Righteous God.

Three Good Steps
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” (Psalm 73:28) Draw nigh to God, put our trust in the Lord, that we may declare His works. Interesting verse. God’s divine order would have it that we first and foremost cultivate our relationship with Him, for without it there is no foundation for trust and there is no passion for the testimony of His works. It is a good thing for man to carefully pursue and secure a relationship with God, above all things. As God draws near to us, we must run to meet Him, thus drawing near to Him. It is not only our duty; it should be our desire to have an ongoing and ongrowing relationship with Him.

By His Hands, For His Glory
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.” (Psalm 139:1) Many people have the fear that if they ever revealed to someone what they were really like, that person would reject them. There are many people who go through life thinking there is no way anyone could ever know them intimately and still love them. However, God knows us, better than we know ourselves. And, He loves us more than we could ever imagine!

What About Today’s Deposit?
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12) The Psalmist prayed: “Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we may grow in wisdom.” What do you do with your time? Have you ever stopped to think about how much time you waste doing “nothing”?

Unconditional, Uncompromising, Unfailing
By Jan Ross | 1 Comment
“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” God is love . . . and His love is perfect! How many times do we doubt God’s love for us? If you’re like most, every time things go wrong or prayers aren’t answered they way we suppose they should, the first thing that goes through our minds is that God must not love us as much as He loves others. This is nothing but a trick of the enemy to blind us to the fact that God’s love is not only PERFECT, it is EVERLASTING, it shall NEVER FAIL, it is CONSTANT, it NEVER WAVERS!

An Act of Thanksgiving
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.” (I Samuel 2:2) Hannah’s song of thanksgiving was an awesome testimony of her thankfulness for the gift she had been given. She was barren, prayed for God to bless her with a child, and when He did, she could not contain her praise to Him. She was overcome with joy, and her heart was full of tribute to the Holy One . . . the Lord, God Almighty.
