FROM THE KEYBOARD

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: Stay encouraged! Good things take time and a God-thing is always on time. In God's economy, delays are not denials, so keep praying and keep working while waiting. Just stay encouraged!

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "When He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet" (Luke 24:40). Don't hide your scars. Let them tell your story as a way to help somebody else get through their agony. Even Jesus bore His scars to soothe a doubting heart, so why not let your scars be where somebody else's healing starts?

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God" (Romans 8:28). Nothing has been accidental or coincidental in your life. In fact, everything that has transpired has been providential in your life. Think of it! God has ordered your entire life for your maximum benefit and His supreme glory; but will you accept it--the good, the bad, the ugly--which is the first step in seeing His perfect plan and His gracious hand in your life?

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "For the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6). There is a divine purpose behind every hardship. And if God has allowed it to touch your life, than He will be right there with you so you can touch His life.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: You can impress people from afar, but impact happens up close. Consider this! God didn't just call out from heaven with good news. No! He came down from heaven and died in our place to give us good news. Eternal impact. Up close and personal in Jesus. He is our good news.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: You can never go too far from God, for He has already gone farther than you. Jesus went to the cross to cover the complete distance of our sin--past, present, and future.
