FROM THE KEYBOARD

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ” (I Corinthians 2:16). We are free to think how the Lord thinks, and that's why it is impossible for a nonbeliever to figure out the mind of a believer. A godly individual is an enigma. One that counts it joy to fall into various trials, knowing that testing leads to a grade. Graded growth, where A+ faith produces A+ works. That’s why it is written that.....

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong" (I Corinthians 1:27). Don't hide your weakness, but learn to give God your weakness. He specializes in using weak people to do powerful things.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later" (Romans 8:18). In God's economy, glory always follows suffering. You may be going through it now temporarily, but know that glory will be coming for you later and for all eternity.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4). Don't let your social media feed be the only place where Jesus is trending. Let Him trend in your heart and mind, and He'll give you your hearts desires.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "....but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). If you allow the Word to transform your thinking, you are essentially allowing God to transform your life. Life is attached to thought.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). You can either take hope in your circumstances or you can allow your circumstances to take hold of you. One way is liberating. The other way is debilitating. "Taking hope" doesn't mean you know Gods plan. "Taking hope" is simply knowing God has a plan and that plan has you.
