Malachi 3:14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: And what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, And that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? What a sad commentary we find here. God’s people claimed that serving God wasn’t profitable for them. They obeyed God but saw […]

Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, Which is before Jerusalem on the east, And the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, And there shall be a very great valley; And half of the mountain shall remove […]

Habakkuk 2:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink,That puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, That thou mayest look on their nakedness!

Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; And what doth the LORD require of thee, But to do justly, and to love mercy, And to walk humbly with thy God? Micah was speaking to a religious people that totally misunderstood what God was doing with them and what He wanted. God […]

Obadiah 4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, And though thou set thy nest among the stars, Thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. Mankind always wants to think too highly of itself. We seek to believe that we are higher than God. We become our own gods. We believe that we […]

Daniel 4:27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. God sent the wicked king a dream. In the dream, God made it clear that no one could […]

Hosea 10:13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; Ye have eaten the fruit of lies: Because thou didst trust in thy way, In the multitude of thy mighty men. If you refuse to trust God and His Word you will reap sin. If you believe in anything or anyone else you will plow […]

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: Because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. God warns that His people are being destroyed because they haven’t been […]

Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. God gave Daniel prophecies about the future of the world. It wasn’t time for it to be understood just yet. God told Daniel to seal it up till that time. The time […]

Ezekiel 44:31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast. God’s people were not to take road kill to the temple for God’s men to eat. God never wanted any of His people anything that died of natural causes, was wounded and […]

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 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. […]
