It has been said by men, that people make god in their own image. To a certain extent that is true. If we form our view of god according to what we perceive as god, or use the view that every one else holds of god then that statement is true, and we will be …

The Wait
In our minds "waiting" is a boring, and aggravating task that we sometimes do in a dentist, doctors, or lawyers office. We wait in busy traffic when we drive in cities. My reading for today was Isaiah 39 - 42 and I chose these verses to share with any who desire to read... "Hast thou …
To Trust or to Defy the Living God
My reading for today was Isaiah 36 - 38. In these chapters the Assyrians have been on a rampage through the land of Judah, destroying and pillaging; and they have come to Jerusalem which is walled and protected by good soldiers. The king of Assyria sends his messenger to the wall with a threatening message, …
It Is In God’s Hands
I sometimes get to thinking that I have no fear in my life. When I do that something happens; a sickness in the family, a tragedy, a storm; you get the idea; is sent my way, and fear is present. It has occurred to me that when I am walking with the LORD in communion …
The Grace of the LORD
"And therefore will the LORD wait, that He may be gracious unto you, and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: …
Threshing
The Threshing “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall …
The Valley of Vision
For the Valley of Vision “In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 22:25 (KJV) From chapter 13 of …
The Wells of Salvation
Our daily reading for July 28, 2018 is Isaiah 12 - 16. This is a repost from July 28, 2015. For today and the following two days these are reposted from 2015. Wells of Salvation “And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise Thee: though Thou wast angry with me, Thine …
O, What Glory That Will Be
"And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall …
The Only Word of God
"And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? For the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there …
Beasty Kingdoms
God reveals the kingdoms of men as beasts of the earth. Beasts like a “Lion with eagle’s wings” (7:4), “a bear… with ribs in its mouth” (7:5), “a leopard, which had four wings on its back…” (7:6); then, a fourth beast “dreadful and terrible”. These beasts represent human governments which the LORD was showing Daniel …
A Hard Head and a Hard Heart
I must admit; I have been accused of being “Hardheaded”. I may have even been accused a few times of being “Hardhearted”, and at times I would probably agree that I can be both. But I do pray that I have never hardhearted toward God and His Word. I have argued with the Lord a …
The Promises of God: Negative and Positive
“They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? When they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom. What thing shall I take to witness for thee? What thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I …
I Will Not Leave You Wholly Unpunished
The people of God: Jacob and his descendants are never without the discipline [correction] of God. That correction shows, in fact, that they are the children of God. The same is true of those who are genuine Christians; those who have been regenerated through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of …
Our Worship
It is a sad thing when the heart of God’s people grow cold toward Him, His word, His ways, His Son Jesus, and His Spirit. That was a very prominent thing in the land of Israel and Judah. They had grown away from God. Still maintaining their worship ritual, without heart for God; giving Him …
