Exodus 2:23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. I love how the Bible shows God being so attentive to His […]

Matthew 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.  What was His whole purpose in coming? He came to save. He wanted us to be forgiven of our sins. He wanted us to spend eternity with Him. He came to rescue us. I read this verse and get blessed. […]

Psalm 81:10 I am the LORD thy God, Which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. The God of the Bible reminded His people of His power. He had delivered them from the greatest nation in the world. He had crushed the global power. God […]

Matthew 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.  Jesus hurts for hurting people. Can you see that? The disciples […]

Genesis 44:34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. The brothers had sold their little brother into slavery, Joseph.  Now Benjamin’s life is at stake. Earlier they had thought only of their pleasure and […]

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. People are not religious, but they are spiritual, supposedly. They don’t like church, but they do like God. People feel like religion is a private matter. The truth is that most people have invented their version of God. They […]

Photo by Davide Cantelli on Unsplash Genesis 41:39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:  When God blessed Joseph by showing him the dream, Pharaoh recognized the blessing. Joseph has made it clear that it was not him that […]

Genesis 41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.  Joseph is about to interpret Pharaoh’s dream. Joseph wants it clear that God can do things that he can not. Joseph could have used it as a way to make a name for himself but […]

Psalm 105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, And Abraham his servant. God remembers. He doesn’t need a reminder. God makes promises, and He keeps them. He told Abraham something, and so it is as good as done. Nothing can change that. For those who wonder if Israel will ever possess all the land God […]

Matthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. God is at work in our world today. He has a plan. That plan has been revealed in stages. […]

Genesis 35:12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.  God always keeps His promises. He promised Abraham some land. God renewed that promise to Isaac. Now He tells Jacob that He is giving that land to […]

Genesis 33:9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.  Esau and Jacob have been enemies for a long time now. They are brothers, and their hatred has been extreme. Now as they meet Jacob sends gifts to appease his brother. The thing that gets my attention is that […]

Genesis 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.  Here in this verse God again speaks to a pagan. He knows that God is talking. Laban […]

Psalm 40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: Thou art my help and my deliverer; Make no tarrying, O my God. Can you believe it? God takes the time to think about me. The psalmist recognizes that he is unworthy. The psalmist is poor and needy. He can add […]

Proverbs 9:16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: And as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, The fast, loose, woman calls to the young simpleton. He is not smart enough to realize that she wants to ruin his life. He goes in to sin proving his lack of intelligence. He […]

Genesis 26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah. Esau wanted to hurt his parents. He disobeyed them and their counsel about who to marry. Esau chose the opposite of who his parents suggested. He was angry and bitter. He wanted to hurt his family and ended up injuring himself as […]
