Psalm 126:3 The LORD hath done great things for us; Whereof we are glad. Do you recognize that God has done in your life? Have you taken the time to count your blessings? I know you are glad that things are going well but do you attribute your benefits to the Lord or just you […]

Proverbs 25:14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift Is like clouds and wind without rain. Be careful not to pretend to be what you are not. If you brag or boast about being able to do something you are unable to do, then you become a proverb. You can’t deliver. You are like clouds […]

Psalm 111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: The LORD is gracious and full of compassion. God wants us to remember what He has done. It is so easy to forget His goodness. We grow accustomed to it so much that it seems reasonable rather than extraordinary. God has been good to […]

Leviticus 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;  God wanted His people to be able to distinguish between what was right and what was wrong. Would they know the difference between clean and unclean? Some things would be holy and right, and some would be unholy […]

This verse refers to unbelievers that can’t trust God because of the hold that money has on them. They are too […]

Psalm 84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well;  The rain also filleth the pools. The valley of Baca refers to a place of weeping. The idea is that the person is going to difficulty in life. This person grieves, hurts. They feel dreary, and everything hurts, etc. Even in a […]

Psalm 81:12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: And they walked in their own counsels. The nation of Israel has so rebelled against God that He has decided to give them what they want. They will live by their own decisions. They will get what they want. This decision, in no […]

Sometimes people talk a lot to cover up the fact that they do not know much. More words can lead to more wounds. Much […]

Mark 1:38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. Jesus wanted to travel to the next town. He wanted to share the gospel there also. He came to this earth to preach. How can I read this truth and […]

Matthew 27:66  So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. I love this verse. Those who do not believe the God of the Bible work hard at hiding the truth. They try to be sure that the truth of Jesus Christ will not get out. No matter what […]

Exodus 36:5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the Lord commanded to make. In forty years of ministry, I have never had this problem, nor have I seen it in my entire life. God’s people were taking offerings to build the […]

Psalm 78:11 And forgat his works, And his wonders that he had shewed them. God had done great and beautiful things in the lives of His people Israel. He had shown Himself strong. God had worked miracle after miracle. Regardless, His people forgot all that He had done. That forgot that He had shown Himself […]

Exodus 34:10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I […]

Exodus 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.  Moses calls […]

Psalm 67:7 God shall bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him. The psalmist says that the ends of the earth will fear God. God would bless the people of Israel. Then the entire world would hear about God and come to reverence Him. What a wonderful promise of world evangelism […]

Proverbs 13:5 A righteous man hateth lying: But a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. God’s people not only speak the truth, but they also hate lies. They hate anything but the truth. How is it that some Christians will stoop to lie. They are not living and acting like people of truth. […]
