"Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your word has given me life." Ps. 119:49-50 KJV This psalm of praise was one of many sung by worshippers on their climb to the Temple. The unknown author asks the Lord to remind him of His stated and written promises. Every believer and servant of Christ...
Keep Reading"For we have not a High Priest Who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities: but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." Hebrews 4:15 KJV At the time this verse was written many high priests lacked compassion and empathy, the very qualities that should have characterized the office. Our great intercessor Jesus Christ is no ivory tower ...
Keep Reading"I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock making my steps firm. Plus He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; many will see and fear and will trust in the LORD." Psalm 40:1-3 One could title these verses "the road from...
Keep Reading"In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV Surely it's impossible to thank God for everything. Wrong! God would not command us to do so were it not possible. Lest you try to circumvent the teaching of this verse, be reminded (Eph. 5:20) says, "Always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lo...
Keep Reading"That the proof of your faith being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the appearing of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:7 KJV Gold and the genuineness of our faith are purified by fire. The one is refined by literal fire, and the other figuratively by means of the trials of life. The v...
Keep Reading"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its perfect work that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:2-4 KJV You're kidding me, right!? No, that's what the text says, “Consider it all joy" when trials come. When God passed out patienc...
Keep Reading"For our light affliction which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." II Corinthians 4:17, 18 KJV Keep in mind this is a comparative statement co...
Keep Reading"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; and a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." Psalm 51:17 KJV According to this verse, what does God want from us? What pleases Him? It is less about what we do for Him than it is the condition and attitude of our hearts before Him. God rejects the offerings and works of our hands when they come from a proud ...
Keep Reading"Have I sinned? What have I done to you, O watcher of men? Why have you set me as your target, so that I am a burden to myself?" Job 7:20 KJV The "what have I done to deserve this?" attitude is often a feeble declaration of one's innocence or an inference that God is too severe and unfair in His dealings with us. Neither is true! Man is not innocent; nor is God unfair ...
Keep Reading"Come unto me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 KJV My invitation to the presidential inaugurations seems to always get lost in the mail. We all want to be included;...
