"Now the Lord had said unto Abraham, get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you." Gen. 12:1, 2a In our modern, mobile society, relocation is a common occurrence with many families. God apparently spoke audibly to Abraham, telling him to relocate to a dis...
Keep Reading"Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path." Ps. 119: 105 We live in an increasingly sin-darkened world that rejects the light of God's Word. In my childhood, I was afraid of the darkness where my mother said the "boogie man" lived and would get me if I did not do right. As believers, thank God we have been delivered from spiritual darkness into the kingd...
Keep Reading"But they who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 By interpretation, the "they" in this verse is prophetic of the believing people of Israel whose nation will be totally restored to them at the second coming of Christ. By application, this ...
Keep Reading"Wherefore seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race set before us." Heb. 12:1 The witnesses here are the dead O.T. saints, mentioned in the previous chapter, who not only lived by faith, but many of whom also died as heroes for their faith. How...
Keep Reading"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path." Prov. 3:5, 6 "Trust in the Lord" is first a choice of the heart. Then the mind follows and makes the decision. Don't park your brains; but no matter how keen one's intellect, leaning on your own understanding will not faultless...
Keep Reading"The law of God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slip." Ps. 37:31 In this 37th Psalm David is contrasting the conduct of the righteous man versus the wicked man. Something is in the heart of the righteous that is not found in the heart of the wicked. That something is the law (words) of God. The word "law" here would include all of God’s instructions, as...
Keep Reading"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk (live) worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love." Eph. 4:1-2 Paul, writing from prison, demonstrates to believers at Ephesus that living a godly life can be at a great personal cost. "Walking" in the boo...
Keep Reading"Order my steps in Your Word, and let not sin have dominance over me." Ps. 119:133 As he prayed, David well understood the path of victory over sin was to obey. It is not going astray from God's Word, being "doers of the word, and not hearers only" (James 1:22). The Word of God, memorized and cherished in the heart, will keep sin from dominating a Christian's life. Jes...
Keep Reading"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." Heb. 12:3 True faith must have an object or it is just whistling in the dark. That object of faith must be human or Divine and able to respond. The object cannot lack intelligence or personality, such as the sun, moon, stars, trees, or rocks. Jesus, the creator of all things (John 1:3), is the object of our fai...
Keep Reading"And the servant said, "Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, Who has not abandoned my master of His mercy and His truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s relatives.'" Gen. 24:27 What cranks your tractor in the morning? What gets you going? A cup of coffee and a donut? Prayer and a Bible Passage? The above words were spoken...
