l Kings 21:25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. Ahab was a very wicked man. He sold himself, gave all, 100% of himself to do wrong. The thing that jumps off the page for me […]

I Kings 17:20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? Elijah sees that the widow’s son is dead. He goes to immediately heal or raise the child from the dead. The interesting thing is […]

I Kings 11:9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, I think that it is interesting to notice what made the Lord angry. It was that Solomon’s heart turned from the Lord God of Israel to false gods. […]

I Kings 8:42 (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house; When Solomon was dedicating the temple he thought of all those non Jewish people that needed to know God. The blessing of God on […]

I Kings 2:3 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: Solomon was […]

II Samuel 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. I love the story of how God used David to kill Goliath. I love this story […]

II Samuel 15:37 So Hushai David’s friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. There is nothing like having a real friend. David was in trouble. His son was kicking him out of his kingdom. He was on the room to save his life. The verse is so simple. Hushai David’s friend came. […]

II Samuel 7:22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. Last night I listened to testimony after testimony of how good God is and what He has done for His people. His […]

II Samuel 6:22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. David had been worshipping God as the ark made its way to the city. Michal, his wife and […]

I Samuel 26:25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. David did right. He didn’t kill or harm Saul when he had the chance. He was good even […]

I Samuel 18:14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. David was in front of Saul and all the people. David kept a good testimony. Those that watched him knew that he was doing right. He behaved wisely. That might have meant that he didn’t do somethings […]

I Samuel 17:36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. When the battle against Goliath was before David he wasn’t worried about whether God would work in his life or not. He knew […]

I Samuel 8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. Samuel knew, obviously, that God already knew what was going on . He still went to God in prayer and told Him all about what was happening. He rehearsed them in the ears […]

I Samuel 3:21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD. We all know that Samuel heard from the Lord much more directly than any of us. He even appeared to him in this verse. What strikes me as wonderful is […]

Judges 17:10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in. Imagine a man of God being for sale like this man. […]

Judges 15:14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. Sometimes we picture Samson has a big muscled […]

Judges 9:56 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren: God makes it clear in story after story that sin doesn’t go unpunished. Sometimes it may seem like it takes too long but God is just. Here Abimelech dies. He dies because of his sin. […]

Judges 3:2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof; I think that sounds strange to the majority of us today. God wanted His people to learn war. He wanted them to learn to fight. We live in a […]

Joshua 24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. We love our parents and are very thankful for them but that doesn’t mean we want […]

Joshua 13:1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. Joshua had given his entire life to serving God. He had watched God bring them across the Jordan river. He had seen […]

Joshua 6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. They are making their last trip around the city. They will shout before the walls fall. They will shout because they believe and […]

Joshua 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Imagine the God of heaven telling you something like that. I will be with you. I will […]

Deuteronomy 32:21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities: And I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. God’s people didn’t show Him the respect that […]

Deuteronomy 22:4 Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again. When you see your brother in need you are to help him. You are not supposed to act like you didn’t see. He […]

Deuteronomy 13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 7 Namely, of the […]

Deuteronomy 7:10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face. We talk so much of God’s love that it is easy to forget that the Scriptures also tell us that He will repay to […]

Deuteronomy 2:25 This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. God caused people to fear the nation of Israel. God would send […]

Numbers 35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die. God told Moses way back when how they were to treat criminals. They were to deal severely with murderers. They would be put […]

Numbers 32:24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. 2 1/2 tribes of Israel chose their inheritance on the wrong side of the river. God accepted their petition to do so. The funny thing is that they wanted to make […]

Numbers 27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; 19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. God is going to replace Moses […]

Numbers 20:26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there. It is God’s way to replace His people. Someone said that God buries His workers but never His work. God will keep on keeping on until He has […]
