God (Not the Devil) Was in the Details First

By Don Ibbitson

devil details“The devil is in the details” (or fine print). You’ve heard people declare that in exasperation. Are you aware that it belonged to God first? Taking the easy way out and relying on God to bail us out can lead to disaster.

Consider this explanation in Wikipedia:

“The devil is in the detail” is an idiom that refers to a catch or mysterious element hidden in the details, meaning that something might seem simple at a first look but will take more time and effort to complete than expected and derives from the earlier phrase, “God is in the detail” expressing the idea that whatever one does should be done thoroughly; i.e. details are important.

6 Tips to Help You Forget What is Behind

By Don Ibbitson

forget what behindDon’t you wish that the apostle Paul had expanded on some nuggets he gave us in Scripture?

One passage that tormented me for years was Phil 4:11-13. Paul boasted that:

“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” [Read more…]

By Don Ibbitson
