Worship is God's way of giving us an opportunity to shift our focus from our own concerns, problems, and circumstances to the way things are in heaven.

God is love (1 John 4:8, 16) and God is sovereign (Acts 4:24). Those biblical truths must define our response to every circumstance in life.

Scripture suggests that meditating on the Word of God can have an always-on effect of peace and strength in difficult times.

There's only one thing to do with God's offer of the gift of salvation: Say "thank you" and embrace it.

Satan can wreak havoc but he cannot claim the victory.
