Numbers 11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! There were some men who were prophesying in the camp. Other men came and told Moses to stop them. Moses said that he wished […]

Numbers 6:23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and […]

Numbers 3:45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD. God had spared the lives of all the first born Israelites while they were in Egypt. He spared them because […]

Leviticus 24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God. God told Israel to have the same law for the stranger as for the Israelites. God wanted one law for all. There wasn’t going to be one […]

Leviticus 22:24 Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land. Moses reminded the people that they were to give God their best. They were never to bring something that was damaged to God. They weren’t to […]

Leviticus 16:30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. The picture was clearly given even in the Old Testament. It was the priest that made the atonement for them. It was the priest who was […]

Leviticus 10:11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. Teaching people God’s Word is always our responsibility. As parents we teach our children. As teachers, disciplers, etc we teach the Word of God. As pastors and missionaries we […]

Leviticus 5:5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing: 6 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid […]

Genesis 50:25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. God had only sent Joseph and the nation of Israel to Egypt for a time. He was strengthening and growing them. He had promised Abraham certain land. We […]

Genesis 43:9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever: I will bear the blame forever. I will be responsible. I may not have been in the past but I […]

Genesis 26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. The king looked out the window and saw Isaac sporting with Rebekah. That is a wild statement. He […]

Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Abraham believed God. When he believed then God counted it to him for righteousness. It wasn’t anything that Abraham did. He simply believed that God would do what He said He would do! By the way, it wasn’t the […]

Genesis 9:7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. I think that most people do not have a problem understanding that it was possible both for Adam and Eve and also for Noah and his family to reproduce and fill the earth once again. All they […]

Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Satan has from the beginning wanted to cause all of us to think that God is keeping something from us! Of course that was not and […]

Matthew 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Peter loved Jesus. He wanted the best for Him. He wanted God to be glorified BUT! It often doesn’t […]

Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. The Word can be choked and cause us to become unfruitful. First, this is talking about salvation! Things, this world, my […]

Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. The verse is so clear. Jesus came to help those that needed help. He came to heal those that were sick and would recognize that. So often we are proud of […]

Exodus 10:2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD. God wanted His people to see all that He was doing […]

Matthew 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am […]

Exodus 4:1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. Moses had heard God speaking to him and still doubted that anyone would believe that God had sent him. He was afraid that no one […]

Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, As Paul finishes his letter to the Romans he commends them to the One that can make a […]

Romans 16:22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. This letter to the Romans was from Paul. He dictated the letter. Paul was a great apostle. He was one of only a handful of really important and greatly used men of God. Yet, he was willing to have the guy who […]

Matthew 1:5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; All the way back in the book of Ruth we learn about Ruth a Moabitess choosing to follow the God of her mother in law. She believed. She followed and now she is in the lineage of […]

II Chronicles 35:2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD, Josiah put the priests in their place of ministry and then encouraged them to do what God had called them to do. Many others have hindered God’s men. Others have held back […]

Leviticus 15:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. Long before science was explaining things God’s people were obeying Him and doing the right thing. The Jews were taught to cleanse themselves and to […]

Exodus 4:30 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. I love the story of how Moses is unwilling to talk and do what the Lord tells him to do. He complains. God allows Aaron to speak for him. Yet […]

Romans 16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. People are beginning to hear about the church at Rome. They are hearing about how they are living in obedience to […]
