To me, “Home” is a pleasant word, but much more than that, a place of shelter, and warmth. Home is a place of family; the place you lay your head at night. The place you dwell, and abide. In a ship sort of way, home is the anchor of your life. You can leave home …

Day Forty Two – The Blessing and Wealth of Giving
Riches are often what many of us think about at times, especially when we are having financially difficult times. What would we do if we had wealth and riches? Most of the people I know would end up not having any of it left after they received a big lump sum of money or things; …

Day Forty One – Wings to Fly Away; Wings Of Shelter
Men have thought of flying for all times and generations. We have watched the birds of the air, and wondered what it would be like to fly through the air and the skies. Of course in the age we live now there is not too many people who have not experienced flight within the confines …

Day Forty – Songs For The Sons of Korah
The Scripture reading for today is Psalms 42 - 55. Psalms 42 - 49 are titled as a song for the sons of Korah; with the exception of Psalm 43. My personal thought on that Psalm is that it is probably included as a song for the sons of Korah. In Numbers 16 while Israel …
Day Thirty Nine – The LORD, Our Help
Have you ever cried out for “Help”? You found yourself in a very needy situation, fear was creeping in, and you find yourself overwhelmed by the moment? I have no shame or fear in admitting that I have. I am a very needy individual; and when I realize I need help I will call out …
Day Thirty Eight – Hymn On Waiting
Our Scripture reading today is Psalms 15 - 28. Waiting is not a pleasant thing to do; especially in today’s fast moving world. We wait in traffic. We wait for that job interview and job that is going to put us in a higher income bracket, and maybe on “easy street”. We wait at the …
Day Thirty Seven – The Hymn Book of the Bible
First, let me clear some things up. When we speak of the “Book of Psalms” it is used in the plural. If we speak of one Psalm it is “Psalm”. Such as Psalm 1, Psalm 50, you get the idea. Psalms has no chapters, they are referred to as Psalms. There are 150 Psalms in …

Day Thirty Six – The Word From The Almighty
I would probably call it “sarcasm”. The voice of the LORD answers Job, “Out of the whirlwind”; and asks Job a lot of questions which seem to have a lot of sarcasm in them. “Sarcasm” is defined in the Mirriam/Webster Dictionary as “1 a cutting, contemptuous remark: 2 Ironical criticism or reproach”. The latter one …

Day Thirty Five – Confidence In The Almighty
Reading Job 15 - 28 for today February 04, 2020 we find many words of Job's confidence in the Lord. “For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see …

Day Thirty Four – The Struggle of Life
Does life ever seem like a weary process to you? Do you ever feel like you are all alone and that no one cares? Not even God? There are many Biblical characters who experienced these thoughts, and the one we will look at today is probably the most known. His name is Job. Our scheduled …
Day Thirty Three – Look Again
Our reading today is Nehemiah 11 - Esther 10. The commentary this morning will deal solely with Esther. Esther is a book of the Bible that never names the name of God. God is not even mentioned in person; however the work, power and presence of God is clearly seen by those who have the …
Day Thirty Two – The Cupbearer
Our reading for today begins in Ezra 8 through Nehemiah 10. We will be looking at Nehemiah today in our study. We are told that Nehemiah was a captive of Israel in Shushan the palace (1:1) of king Artaxerxes of Persia. Nehemiah was the king’s “cupbearer (1:11). This task was more than just simply carrying …

We are now on Day 31 of our reading through the Bible in ninety days. I pray you are not only learning about God, His people, God's work with His people, His mercy and grace; but that you are also being blessed by the Spirit of God convicting you of your sin, and convincing you …

Day Thirty – The Peril and Power of Pride; Without Prejudice
It is written in Proverbs, “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18). Pride even gets into the hearts and minds of the best among us; and that is never more clear to me than when I was reading in 2 Chronicles 18 – 31 this morning. I read of …

Day Twenty Nine – Revival
The Scripture reading for today is 2 Chronicles 5 - 17. One of the things you will notice about the Chronicles is that they maintain a fairly positive approach to the lineage of David, yet do mention their failures, and their turning from the LORD. This morning I took note of king Asa, and the …
