Song of Solomon 1:6 Look not upon me, because I am black, Because the sun hath looked upon me: My mother’s children were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards; But mine own vineyard have I not kept. Here is a good warning about being too busy with others. He did […]

Ecclesiastes 11:4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. It is so easy to watch the wind or clouds and not do the work that we have to do. Without fail someone will convince you that tomorrow might work better. They will tell you what […]

Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. If you do not sharpen your ax then you will have to work much harder and still accomplish much less. We do not place enough emphasis on studying, […]

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. The wise man said that the living know that they are going to die. I sometimes wonder if people today realize that. We are […]

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. When sin goes unpunished for a long time men set their hearts to do evil. They is why the punishment should fit the crime and be carried […]

Ecclesiastes 6:12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? We do not understand near what we think we do about life. Our life is […]

Ecclesiastes 5:10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. The money or material goods are not the problem. The problem is what you are loving. We will never have enough money but we can have God and all that He is. […]

Ecclesiastes 4:6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit. Most of us think that if we had lots of money we would enjoy peace. Solomon who was extremely rich said that wasn’t the case. If you have lots of money you just might be worried […]

Ecclesiastes 3:22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? The most important thing is to be able to enjoy what you do. There is nothing after this. […]

Ecclesiastes 2:18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. When we work so hard we need to remember and think about who we are working for. Soon it will all belong to another person any way. […]

Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Real beauty has never been on the outside. External beauty will fade with age. External beauty is so dependent on the society and the eye of the beholder. Real beauty is what is inside a […]

Proverbs 26:16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit Than seven men that can render a reason. Some people are beyond help. They are too smart to listen to anyone. It wouldn’t matter who was doing the talking. I do not want to be this person. I want to learn to listen. I can […]

Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: But the simple pass on, and are punished. If we get in the Bible we learn things from God. As we learn we can avoid much hurt by looking to God and obeying Him. If you will spend time each day in His Word […]

Proverbs 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. Wisdom is the true wealth. When we know God and His Word then we know the truth. When we know the truth then we are better off than having money and possessions. […]

Proverbs 7:27 Her house is the way to hell, Going down to the chambers of death. This strange woman, the one you are not married to, will destroy you and all you are involved with. She is on the way to hell and death. I think we hardly consider the dangers of pornography, etc. I […]

Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And he pondereth all his goings. God is watching us and considering what we are doing. This chapter is about a man going after a woman that is not his wife or vice a versa. I want you to consider that […]

Proverbs 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. We really can rest in peace. We can know that God loves us. We can know that He takes care of us. For us we should be able to have sweet sleep because […]

Psalm 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. We are alive. He has given us life. We should thank Him. We should be so excited at all that He is doing in our lives. We are able to sing. We are able to praise. Some times we might […]

Psalm 149:4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. He loves us. He enjoys us. He takes pleasure in us. He is our maker. Someone told you that God was this horribly awful person that sits in judgment just wanting to destroy you. That is so far […]

Psalm 148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: For he commanded, and they were created. It is not hard to praise the Lord when you will willingly accept that He made you. He simply said the word and it happened. He is God. He didn’t need an evolutionary process to make us. It […]

Psalm 146:2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. I am to and will praise the Lord while I am alive. I will sing praises to Him. So when you are in the church services sing out loud. Sing from your heart. […]

Psalm 145:8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; Slow to anger, and of great mercy. 9 The LORD is good to all: And his tender mercies are over all his works. If we aren’t careful we can hear things about God that are going to paint Him quite differently than He paints Himself. […]

Psalm 144:4 Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away. We never ought to forget that our lives are short. We are here but for a moment. Life will be over before we know it. The Lord says our lives are like a vanity. Something empty. Something of no […]

Psalm 142:2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. The psalmist makes it clear that he went to God with his complaints. He told the Lord about all he was going through. God put this in the Bible. He is telling us how to handle things in our lives. […]

Psalm 141:8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: In thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. God is the answer and source for everything in our lives. He answers are prayers. He meets our needs. I go to Him to ask Him to work in my life and ministry. […]

Psalm 140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence. We are His. He has made us righteous. That means that we want to give thanks to Him. It means that we think about Him. It means that we want to live ever in His presence. Do […]

Psalm 139:2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off. God is bigger than we often think. He knows where I am. He knows what I am doing. Even bigger than that He knows what I am thinking. He knows where my heart really is. Can you imagine that. Someone […]

Psalm 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song In a strange land? God’s people were in a strange land. They had been taken off in captivity. Their captors wanted to hear them sing like they used to sing. They said that they couldn’t sing like before. They were suffering from their sin. They were […]

Psalm 136:2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: For his mercy endureth for ever. There is only one God. He is the God of gods. The others are gods man by men’s hands. The others can be worshipped by those that man them but they are not God nor really a god. God […]

Psalm 135:6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, That did he in heaven, and in earth, In the seas, and all deep places. While the idols mentioned in this passage can’t do anything without help the God of creation, the God of heaven does whatever He wants. He doesn’t depend on us we depend on Him. He […]

Psalm 134:2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the LORD. We should be God praising people. We should come and recognize that He is everything to us. We should be expressive of our praise and love in the services we have together. Bless the Lord. Lift your hands in the sanctuary. Let’s […]
