Numbers 14:31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. The people of Israel didn’t trust God when He wanted to take them into the promised land. They were afraid of what might happen to their children. […]

Numbers 8:17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself. Pretty regular reminder in the book of Numbers that the firstborn belong to Him. He had spared them. They were […]

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 3:13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD. Since He had spared the firstborn they belonged to Him. They […]

Jeremiah 35:14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. Isn’t this a wild story as […]

Leviticus 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. We are not to hate our brother, not even in our heart. Not only do we not express or show our hatred, we do not hate him. We do not […]

Leviticus 16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. The blood was applied to the mercy seat. It was applied around the mercy seat. It […]

Leviticus 10:3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. So often we draw close to God in worship but in some way take the glory […]

Leviticus 16:21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit […]

Leviticus 13:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto […]

Leviticus 11:35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. I noticed this in my devotions from 2005. I think it helps you see just how wonderful […]

Leviticus 1:3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. I love this verse. I know I love so many of them you are beginning […]

Exodus 40:20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: The testimony mentioned here is the law. It is placed in the ark. We must never forget God’s holiness. He is pure and right. The law shows […]

Exodus 25:22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. This has to be one of my […]

Exodus 34:15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; 16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their […]

Exodus 29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. 43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. Two […]

Exodus 23:8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. Moses taught the men that worked with him to be careful about accepting gifts. If someone gives to you it will not be long before they have too much influence. They get what they […]

Exodus 16:20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them. God gave them manna to eat. He gave them sufficient for the day. Those that gathered a little less had enough. Those that gathered more […]

Exodus 12:26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? God wanted His people, Israel, to always celebrate the passover. It was to be a time of remembrance of what God had done. They were to go through the whole ceremony. They were to […]

Genesis 50:21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. Joseph had been severely mistreated by his brothers.

Genesis 39:21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. Things may have been going against Joseph. He had been sold by his brothers. He was a slave. He was now falsely accused and put in prison but still God […]

Genesis 31:6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. This is a verse where Jacob tells his wives that he has served their day with all his power. He has worked hard. He has more than done the normal or what others might consider his duty. He has done […]

Genesis 28:22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. Jacob recognized that what he had came from God. Notice him saying, of all that thou shalt give me. He knew that he […]

Genesis 24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. The servant was to go in search of a wife for Abraham’s son, Isaac. He was to follow the instructions he was given. He […]

Genesis 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: God has sent His angels to rescue Lot. He will not be […]

Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. God called Abram to start a new nation. A nation of people that would be special to Him. A chosen, elect people who would have the job of […]

Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Man had become horribly sinful. It had gone so far that God is going to destroy the earth with a flood. What I want you to see is what just hit me and […]

I Thessalonians 1:3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Paul remembered them and their work. Paul thought about them a lot. He thought of how they believed God. He had watched them work. […]

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Jesus will use us to bring honor to Himself. Up in heaven He will say look what I did. I took this failure, this sinner, this weak person and saved them. I made them holy. I gave them […]
