I Chronicles 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it; 14 And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned […]

I Kings 21:20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord. Ahab should have been a man of character. He should have lived out the privilege that God had given […]

I Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. As Solomon got older he evidently got softer. Getting softer may have been what […]

You Can’t Worship Both – Daily Devotional – April 17th, 2015

April 17, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Daily Devotional

I Kings 3:2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the Lord, until those days.

II Samuel 24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. David needs to […]

The question is how do we respond

April 15, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

II Samuel 16:12 It may be that the Lord will look on mine affliction, and that the Lord will requite me good for his cursing this day. David is being mistreated by one of his subjects. He would normally have the right to defend himself but he doesn’t. He realizes that God is in charge […]

Our lives are in His hands

April 11, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Samuel 23:14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand. An enemy was seeking David. Saul was a very strong enemy. There is no way that David could really […]

You can’t just do it your way

April 10, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, He hath also rejected thee from being king. This is a strong statement. Basically Saul did things his way. God calls that rebellion. He says that when I […]

PKs messing up again

April 9, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Samuel 8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. Eli’s sons were not saved. They were not men of God. They didn’t follow God. Now the next leader of Israel is Samuel and he is having the same problem. His sons are […]

Preacher’s sons that are also sons of the devil

April 8, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

I Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. This is a terrible verse. Here are the sons of a man of God. They have been raised in the home of the leading man of God of their time yet they have not believed. They have seen […]

Sin snares

April 4, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Judges 2:3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. God had told His people to drive the people out of the land that worshipped false gods. They did not. God would […]

April 3, 2015 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Joshua 24:12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow. As God’s people went into battle He wanted them to know that He had been at work. They won the battle but it […]
