In verse 8 of Ephesians, Chapter 2 Paul highlights one important fact of the gospel . . . eternal life come not by any ritual of rule-keeping (sometimes called works), but by the grace of God. But God intends for us to do good works as a way to show our love for Christ.

In what ways are you showing your love for Christ through your good works?

Did you know that the physicians that are written about in 2 Chron 16:12 were actually thought to be Pagan? This is why the verse points out that the king did not trust in God.

The Psalmist for today is writing about something that many of us have probably experienced . . . envy of people's lives who are not living out the word of God. Why are we envious? Does leading a "bad" life in the sight of God, mean people are unhappy? They may be happy on Earth, but as Christians we know that there is much more to life than simply the one we live on Earth.
