"The Lord God is my strength: He will make my feet like deer's feet, and will make me walk on my high hills." Habakkuk 3:19 Strength is a commonly used word in the Bible. It is most frequently used in the book of referring to God's strength, or man's lack of it. In our serving the Lord, who of us has not at some time exhausted our own strength? We came from dust, and s...
Keep Reading"I was no prophet, nor was I a son of a prophet, but I was a sheep breeder and a grower of sycamore figs, but the Lord took me from following the flock and said to me, "Go prophesy to My people Israel.’" Amos 7:14, 15 Amos did not have an impressive resume nor was he seeking the position of a prophet. He was content with serving God as a breeder of sheep and car...
Keep Reading"Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?" Luke 10:40 Martha was frustrated and irritated that Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus listening to Him while she was feverishly serving a house full of guests. You have been there, right? So much to do, so little time to do it, so few to help and feeling alone and sorry for yourself. When given the ...
Keep Reading"And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul." Deut. 10:12 These speeches, given by Moses only weeks before his death, were for the purpose of making clear the Law and statutes under which God's chosen people ...
Keep Reading"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Mark 10:45 The theme of Mark's gospel is serving, and this is the key verse. Jesus was Lord at His birth, but He voluntarily and temporarily laid aside the exercise of His attributes as God and gave His life in selfless, sacrificial living for others. His life is ...
Keep Reading"Now it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died being 110 yrs. old." Joshua 24:29 Joshua was one of the last leaders of that conquering generation to die. Age is no barrier to leadership. Joshua had succeeded Moses as leader of God's chosen people at the age of 86. He died at 110. "After these things" refers to the hist...
Keep Reading"For they themselves report about us what kind of reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God." 1 Thess. 1:9 Believers everywhere testified to the true conversion of the Thessalonians. Paul and his team received a mixed response wherever they preached the Gospel. Some believed the message; many were openly hostile to t...
Keep Reading"And now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For this very night an angel of God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me." Acts 27:23, 24 During his trial at Caesarea, Paul had made his rightful appeal to Caesar at Rome. Paul, being a Roman citizen, was granted his appeal. The ensuing voyage ...
Keep Reading"Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him with sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord." Joshua 24:14 Read verse 13 to see why the "therefore" begins this verse. A little bit of fright-fear of God is healthy for believers, but of course, reverential fear should dominate because He is our ...
Keep Reading"For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." Galatians 5:13 Spiritual freedom is more precious than even the freedom a nation can grant its people. We cherish them both; however, they are distinctly different. The one is given by a ruling government, the other by Jesus C...
