The city of Jerusalem, near the East shore of the Mediterranean Sea, is a city which is the source of much conflict; yet its name means, “city of peace” or “teaching peace”. Yet Jerusalem has no peace. It is a source of much conflict because there are three religions which want to claim it as …

Day Forty Five – The Enemy of GOD, Is My Enemy
Today marks the halfway point for our ninety day challenge for reading the Scriptures. I pray you are following along, and that God is greatly blessing you and drawing you nearer to Himself. Of all things for me to write about. Enemies? I really feel as though I have no enemies within the human race; …

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 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 Twenty Eight – David, Solomon, and the Temple
Our Scripture reading for today is 1 Chronicles 23 - 2 Chronicles 4. I know as I read through this this morning there were names of the Levites, soldiers, mighty men, artisans who would make the designs and so on, and so on. I did mark a few verses that stood out to me as …

Day Twenty Seven – Priest and King
David, as a shepherd boy, had a heart for God. While he was doing the task of taking care of the family flock and herds he meditated upon God and His Word; writing and singing songs [Psalms]. He would become angry when ever he heard an enemy or anyone defy the name of Jehovah [YHWH]. …
Day Twenty Two – When Sin Finds You Out
The title above comes from the Law of Moses (Numbers 32:23); however, as I read the chapters from 2 Samuel 12 – 24 that is what they were dealing with in king David. The reading today included 1 Kings 1; and Solomon's coronation as King of Israel. As we read chapter 11 yesterday it showed …
Day Twenty – King Saul, and David
Reading today is 1 Samuel 17 - 29. I will do a little backing up to chapter 15 for study purposes, and a reminder of King Saul's sin. Saul began his reign as the chosen, anointed king of Israel, chosen by God. His heart was right, humble, and honorable. He seemed not to be grasping …
His Name Alone is Excellent
"Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise Him in the heights. Praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye Him, all His hosts. Praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise Him, all ye stars of light. Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise …
Happy is That People
"Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him; the son of man, that …
Refuge in the Darkness
"I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before Him; I shewed before Him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then Thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a …
Dwelling Together In Unity
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; as the dew of Hermon, that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD …
Who Shall Stand?
"Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul …
