Right in his own mind

Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Amazingly this is the problem that all of us have, we do what we think is right. How often do we seek the Scriptures and ask God what He wants or what His [...]

Faith building listening

Judges 7:10-11 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that [...]

All of Grace

Joshua 24:13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. It was God that got them out of the land of Egypt by His power. He brought [...]

Work and quit whining!

Joshua 17:14-15 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto? And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood [...]

Take time to find out what God says

Joshua 9:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. Amazingly people are so quick to make decisions without thinking about what God would have to say about what they are doing. The Gibeonites come and say that they live a great distance from them. They [...]

Whose side are you on?

Joshua 5:14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? When Joshua sees the man with his sword drawn he immediately wants to [...]

He will be with you

Deuteronomy 31:8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. As Joshua prepares to take on his new ministry Moses reminds him that the Lord God will go with him. Maybe Moses will not [...]

Do what you are told

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Somehow we are always able to explain away the part of the Bible that we do not want to follow. We are also able to get the Bible to say what we want it [...]

Right in your own eyes

Deuteronomy 12:8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. This is the problem of the ages. We do what we think is right. Somehow we think that every one should get to make their own decisions. That has been [...]

He fights for you

Deuteronomy 3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you. We fear because we think that we are on our own. We have no idea that God is at work in us and fighting for and through us. Israel was told not to fear because God was fighting [...]
