We hear boasts and claims from people that something or someone is "The greatest..." We are easily lured to that which we esteem as great. It does not seem to be so when it comes to the Creator of the universe however. Oh, do not take me wrong, but He makes an excellent spare tire …

I am Not Ashamed
"Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and …
The Compassion of God
Concern and Compassion took a cruise on an ocean liner. While they were out looking over the outer railing someone fell overboard. Concern cried out, “Man overboard”. Compassion cried out, “Man overboard”, and dived in to rescue the imperiled man. The above story shows the difference in concern and compassion. One cries out, but does …
Redeeming, Life Changing Love
"Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine." Hosea 3:1 (KJB) The LORD again speaks to Hosea concerning his wife. Hosea received command …
Weakened by Fear
My reading for this morning was Daniel 10 - Hosea 1. From Daniel 10 I share the following verse... "And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast …
A Spiritual Awakening
Reading Daniel 7 - 9 today I once again noticed the prayer of Daniel. A prayer of repentance; a prayer of recognition of the holiness and righteousness of God. Though the prayer is for the sins of Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem it seems very powerful even for the Christian of 2018. I share Daniel's prayer …
Pray Anyway
We have been told, and it has been feared by many that we cannot pray in certain places: public schools, government offices, even some restaurants; maybe some other places too. Daniel the prophet was told he could not pray, and he prayed anyway, just as he had done before the "law" was changed. Hear the …
Matters of Life and Death
"Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. Then Daniel went in, …
The Purposing Heart
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself." Daniel 1:8 (KJB) Four Hebrew youths plus more had been taken from their homeland …
The Greatest Inheritance
"And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession." Ezekiel 44:28 (KJB) These latter chapters of Ezekiel's prophecy are of a future temple in Israel. It is often referred to by today's teachers of prophecy as the Millennial …
Three Years Ago
My reading for today (September 09, 2018) was Ezekiel 41 - 43. The Law of the Temple “Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew …
The Holy One of Israel
There is cause for rejoicing in the fact and truth of knowing that one day; and it is probably not too far off; that all the people of the earth will know the Holy One of Israel is the one true God. God's word confirms it over and over again. He has said it; it …
I Will Be Enquired Of…
The Old Testament is chocked full of God's amazing grace and mercy. I have learned over the years to view the history of the Old Testament as a picture of my life, and how God not only is working in me but also in all who have been redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ. …
When Evil Has Ceased
"And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid." Ezekiel 34:28 (KJB) These verses (chapter 34:20-31) are of a time when King David will become the Prince alongside the King of kings in …
Israel to Dwell Safely
Dwell Safely From August 2016... “Thus saith the Lord GOD; ‘When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to My servant Jacob. And …
