They Limited God, Ps 78:41-42
Ps 78:41-42, “Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy”. They limited God. God wanted to do something for Israel, but they limited God. When he first showed up, he brought all those plagues […]
He Is Able, Dan 4:37
There are times in our lives when we need to be reminded that “He is able”. Talking to Kevin Beier the other day, he mentioned reading, “God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham”, in Matt 3:9. Such a comfort, now that his wife is going through cancer treatments. In fact, […]
Workers Together With Him, 2 Cor 6:1
In 2 Cor 6:1 Paul wrote, “We then, as workers together with him, beseech you…”. Consider this. Paul was God’s chosen vessel to bear the Lord’s name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel, Acts 9:15. Paul was the one to whom God gave the revelations of the mysteries. And Paul was […]
Glory in The Cross, Gal 6:14
Jesus went to the cross to pay for our sins. Therefore, you can be saved because he died for you. But if you want to really live, you must take up your cross, too, Lk 9:23. He’s not talking about taking up a cross as an emblem, like a crucifix or a necklace. He’s talking […]
Your Dwelling, Ps 23:6
In Ps 23:6 David wrote, “and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever”. When we read this we receive instruction about our dwelling. Future Dwelling. “I will dwell”. To dwell is to live as a resident and to remain for a time. At the time David wrote this Psalm, he […]
What Can The Righteous Do, Ps 11:3
Ps 11:3, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do”? The question sounds hopeless. If the foundation of anything is destroyed, the whole structure built upon it is coming down. You get the sense that if the foundations are destroyed, you must give up; there is nothing you can do. However, there […]
Test Your Testimony, 1 John 2
As we studied in Sunday school, 1 John is doctrinally applied to Tribulation saints. However, excellent spiritual applications can be made throughout this epistle. One such application is the test of your testimony. You can TEST your TESTimony. Three times in 1 Jn 2 we find the expression, “He that saith”. We see it […]
Goodness and Mercy, Ps 23:6
In Ps 23:6, David wrote, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life”. When David began the Psalm, he wrote, “The Lord is my shepherd”. With the Lord as your shepherd, two of the things you get from him follow you. Goodness and mercy: Are characteristics of God. […]
Walk As Children Of Light, Eph 5:8
When you walk as children of light, you: Walk with Jesus – 1 Jn 1:3-7. You are drawn to his light and the light of his words. Prov 4:18 and 2 Pet 1:19. The brighter the light that is in you, the closer to him you’re going to be. Christians get in trouble in this […]
My Cup Runneth Over, Ps 23:5
David wrote in Ps23:5, “My cup runneth over”. His cup was filled to capacity and running over. We can appreciate what he was saying, for in our own lives our cup: Runneth over with the fulness of God. David said in Ps 16:5, “The Lord is the portion of… my cup”. Eph 3:19, says that […]
