Daily Nugget: Everyone has difficulties and tribulations one time or the other. There is no promise from God that even those that are believers are exempt from having hardships. Ordeals still rain on “the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45). It does not necessarily mean that a person facing some misery is out of [...]

Matthew 10
Daily Nugget: When we get saved, we are expected to serve the Lord that saved us. We are not to sit and soak, but to do as the Lord commands us; to go and tell others the messages from Gods Word, feed ourselves, have a relationship with the Lord, and to do what ever else [...]
Matthew 8
Daily Nugget: 23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. [...]
James 1
Daily Nugget: James, who many believe to be the brother of Jesus, gives practical advice in this writing. One of the most practical and oft-visited situations for all people, including believers, is discussed here. The “good” side of going through difficulties is examined in verses 2-6. Here James identifies the difficulties, trials, and enticements all [...]
Hebrews 12
Daily Nugget: Every Christian, at one time or the other, contemplates why they are going through such trials and tribulations. Nowhere in the Word of God does it say that life will be easy once one is saved, although we do have much more godly protection. Actually, after salvation, life may be harder. That may [...]
Philippians 4
Daily Nugget: Sometimes, life can be plain rough; even for Christians. We may face financial hardships, physical problems, relationship challenges, and hosts of other types of trials. What do you do? Where do you run to? How do you escape the load of a burden you sometimes just cannot imagine yourselves bearing? We are told [...]
II Corinthians 12
Daily Nugget: Paul was a man used greatly of God. With God’s helping hand this evangelist survived shipwrecks, beatings, persecutions, imprisonments, and other ill treatment. With God’s miraculous help this man was used in healings, revivals, and many miracles. However, as used of God as he was, Paul still had a personal aliment (vs. 7) [...]
Acts 28
Daily Nugget: God placed in Paul’s heart a desire to reach the people of Rome with the Gospel. It was not easy for the preacher to accomplish his task. Paul did encounter many difficulties in reaching his goal. Among the many problems he faced in reaching his God-appointed destination was a shipwreck (Acts 27-28). After [...]
Acts 25
Daily Nugget: Paul, perhaps, could have chosen a life with fewer problems, but he chose a life that would be the most effective for the Lord. That life had many difficult times, no doubt, but those trials allowed him to have a ministry like not many others have ever experienced. Unintentionally, Paul had a ministry [...]
John 13
Daily Nugget: “Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.” John 13:1 Many have gone to a doctor’s office and heard the [...]
