Do we really stop to consider the way we live our lives? Are we a society that is consumed with doing our own thing; out for self fulfillment? It seems that way at times. Whether we like to admit it or not there is evil in the world. The only thing is who determines what …

Day Sixty Eight – No Injustice With God
We hear many people speak of “Justice”, “Right” or “Rights”, and the world is filled with injustice, and unrighteousness; and none of us are completely innocent of either. We love seeing the hungry fed, the poor and/or homeless given shelter and even finding prosperity in their paths of life. Is it injustice that makes people …
Day Sixty Seven – Redemption and Healing through The Creator
Yesterday we looked at the very troubled marriage of Hosea and Gomer; and their marriage is a picture of Israel's broken fellowship with God. Today's reading is Hosea 12 through Amos 7. We find God doing the work of redemption, grace, healing, and restoration in Hosea. God says to Israel through the prophet Hosea, “I …

Day Sixty Six – A Very Troubled Marriage
How would you describe a “Bad Marriage”? For some men it might be described as “Having a wife that does not do what I tell her”. That would be domineering, power crazed husband. To some women it could be having a husband who “doesn’t put his dirty clothes in the dirty clothes hamper”. Men, how …
Day Sixty Five – Knowledge in Wisdom and Learning
Today's Scripture reading for our ninety day journey and adventure is Ezekiel 46 through Daniel 10. For our study we will focus on Daniel's prophecy. Daniel was one of many Jewish nobles who were taken by Nebuchadnezzar into Babylon as captives. Daniel and three of his friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were chosen by the …

Day Sixty Four – Measuring Up
In the reading of the Bible one thing that stands out to me is that God is about His own glory. Now for a man or woman to be about themselves we call that arrogance, pride, no good even. Yet, for the Creator who has made all things, and seeing how He also loves the …
Day Sixty Three – That You May Know The LORD God
Reading the prophecy of Ezekiel can lead a person to only one good conclusion, and that is that GOD wants people to know Him. Some of the reading sounds harsh, deadly, and judgmental; however we are speaking of our Creator; and who are we to question how He works. Can the clay say to the …

Day Sixty Two – The LORD Sees; He Knows; You Will Know Him
My prayer for the readers of these posts is that you will receive a better understanding from the reading of God's Word. We need, we must hear Him. Our reading for today is Ezekiel 7 - 19. Consider the following thoughts... The prophet Ezekiel is taken by the hand of the LORD, in a vision …

Day Fifty Nine – GOD Will Not Withhold A Single Word
The prophecy of Jeremiah the prophet to Judah and Israel was a hard word to preach. It was especially so for a man who loved his people, and his nation; however, it was the word of the LORD, and Jeremiah was going to proclaim it, and it would be better for the people to have …

Day Fifty Eight – The Unsocial Prophet
“The preacher who does not mix with people will never make much of a preacher;” at least that has been said or thought by many. One thing needs to be understood by many preachers of the 21st century; if a preacher has been called by God to preach the Word of God, then we just …
Day Fifty Seven – Judgment By Our Sin
I find it very sad that so many have tried to change the definition of Biblical sin. According to God’s Word – the Bible – sin is a transgression of God’s law. Sin is failure to measure up to God’s glory; His requirements of the law. Nowadays, we hear things like, “Sin is whatever keeps …
Day Fifty Six – The Word of GOD Prospers
There are many times there is debate over the meaning of God’s Word. Even Christians, at times, debate over whether something is “Literal” or “Figurative” or allegorical. For me if God was speaking literal about the first coming of Jesus, and He came just as He has proclaimed; then when He speaks of the second …
Day Fifty Five – The Holy One of Israel
There is one phrase which keeps coming up in the prophecy of Isaiah. It is more than a phrase, it is a statement of the character of God. In Isaiah, as well as in other parts of Scripture we hear of “the Holy One of Israel”. It is a good term, a great reference to …
Day Fifty Two – The LORD Is Salvation
Our reading today is Song of Solomon 7 through Isaiah 11. The reading of Isaiah is interesting, full of Messianic prophecies, and hope for the rest of the world. The language toward Judah and Israel is quite strong and warns them of their need to return to right worship of YHWH [the LORD]. The prophet …
Day Forty Nine – The Heart of Man, Inheritance, and Sacrifice
There is much we can learn from reading the proverbs of the Bible. I am not commenting about the verses I post today except to show them to you for your perusal, and pray you will go to the book itself, and read them. There is much wisdom to gain by reading and applying them. …
