Ezekiel 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. He is our great God. He saved […]

Ezekiel 34:31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD. God’s people are referred to as sheep. We are His flock, His sheep. We belong to Him. He takes care of us. He guides and provides for us. He is our God, and […]

Ezekiel 25:11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD. God was going to move and act so that the people of Moab would know that He was God. If God remains inactive, then you might not be sure that He really is the Lord, the God […]

Ezekiel 20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth. God is very concerned about His reputation. He does things because of His honor, His glory. He doesn’t want the wicked world to […]

Ezekiel 11:21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD. If you take your heart from the God of heaven and go after idols, you will be in great trouble. If your heart […]

Ezekiel 6:5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. God hates idols and false gods. He hates anything that would attempt to steal His worship. The God of heaven made you. He owns you. The God of […]

Lamentations 3:25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. God is good to those who believe Him. We believe Him enough to trust Him and know that He will meet our needs. We seek Him because we know who He is and what He does. What […]

Jeremiah 51:15 He hath made the earth by his power, He hath established the world by his wisdom, And hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding. There is no way you believe the Bible if you do not think that God literally created the earth. Notice this verse in the book of Jeremiah. It […]

Jeremiah 48:44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; And he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: For I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. God will judge. There is no place you can run, […]

Jeremiah 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD. God was going to deliver him because he had trusted in the Lord. God would answer his prayer. […]

Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: For they shall all know me, From the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: For I will forgive their iniquity, And I will remember their sin no more. A […]

Jeremiah 23:23 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? God asks the question, do they not realize that He is close at hand. God is not one who set the world in motion and just lets it run. He is still in control. He still hears and […]

Jeremiah 16:20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? How come men are so eager to make something with their hands and then call it a god. If you can make it, then you are more significant than your creation. If you make a god, then you are higher than […]

Jeremiah 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: They must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, Neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah calls out God’s people for worshipping handmade gods. They are made from some material […]

Jeremiah 6:14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. The false prophets have lied. The lie makes the people feel better but doesn’t really change anything. They say there is peace when there is no peace. The lie will not hold. […]

Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, And the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: And dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. Can you imagine what you are reading in this verse? The wolf and lamb will […]

Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, He shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. God loves us so much. Jesus loves us […]

Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, And will not remember thy sins. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who forgives sin. He died on the cross. He paid the sin debt. He is the one that blots out or erases our sin. He doesn’t erase […]

Isaiah 39:4 Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. Hezekiah was lifted up in pride. God had been kind to him. He wanted to brag. He wanted to […]

Isaiah 26:13 O LORD our God, Other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: But by thee only will we make mention of thy name. God is the only God that His people recognized. He is the only one that they loved. They had been ruled over by others, but only one was worth […]

Isaiah 19:19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, And a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. There will be a day when they worship God in Egypt. God is not a country’s God or a territorial god like the idols […]
