Nehemiah 1:11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the […]

Ezra 9:13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; God’s people realized that God had punished them as a nation much less than they […]

Ezra 8:34 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time. God gives instruction to the people that the offerings will be handled with preciseness and exactness. Everything was to be counted and weighed. Make sure it is what it appears to be. Write it all down. […]

Ezra 8:29 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD. God wanted His offerings taken care of well. He did not allow things to be handled haphazardly. […]

Ezra 7:23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? The king wanted God’s blessings and not God’s anger. He wanted to see the temple built for […]

Ezra 8:23 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us. Ezra states a beautiful truth. God works and answers prayer. When they needed help, they could have asked the king. Instead of asking the king they decided to ask God. God heard their prayer. He answered them. Do […]

John 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. What a beautiful testimony this man gives. He heard the truth. He believed the truth. Then he worshipped the Lord Jesus. You can’t truly worship until you have believed. Have you believed? If you have believed are you worshipping? How many say they […]

John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. When Jesus told His people the truth, they abandoned Him. They walked with Him no more. They were no longer His disciples. How do you handle the truth? Do you understand that God is to be worshipped even […]

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Jesus is the light of the world. He came into the world, but the world didn’t want Him. They preferred their sin. They preferred the darkness. Jesus came to […]

Luke 23:47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. The hardened Roman soldier had watched Jesus die. He had seen the sun go dark. He had felt the earthquake. He had heard how Jesus dealt with His accusers. He had seen how Jesus responded […]

Luke 22:6 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. Judas was looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus. He didn’t want to make it obvious what he was doing. He would betray Him when the crowds weren’t there. He was wrong. He was ashamed, but […]

Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. God loves sinners. He wants all saved. When someone gets saved, there is great joy in heaven. God loves it when a sinner repents. Seeing people get saved should cause us great […]

Luke 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. God’s ways are not our ways. We think that we need to look out for number one, ourselves. We believe our own press releases. We write them to make ourselves look better than we really are. We look […]

Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Jesus wants to be first. Everything of value has to be put aside. You can’t let anything be there to steal your affection. Make a decision. It is either Jesus or something else. That […]

Luke 8:39 Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. 40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were […]

Luke 7:43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. Jesus was teaching that the one forgiven the most loves the most. What a relief to know that He forgives us. How it motivates us to love Him more. You have […]

Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. In one verse we have all three distinct persons of the Godhead. The Holy Ghost is descending. Jesus has just […]

Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. Sometimes our hearts are so hard that they surprise us. We think we are listening. We believe we are […]

Job 21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, are mighty in power? This is a question that many people ask. Why do those that do not love God seem to deal with fewer problems? Why do God haters succeed while those that love God do not? Why is it that my family is […]
