"Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the …

The Word From the LORD
We must consider, and realize that every word from God is not pleasant, comfortable, or encouraging. Many times it is not what we want to hear. Hear the word of the LORD through Jeremiah the prophet to king Zedekiah... "Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in …
For the Faithful Man of God
“Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before Me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. And I will make thee unto this people …
The Great Servant Who Would Suffer
The following verses were written about 700 years previous to the birth of Jesus. They are prophetic Scripture which foretell the suffering of Jesus Christ. Hear them, hear the word of the LORD and believe. "Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For He shall grow up before …
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 …
Embracing Aging
I believe what many of the scholars of Scripture have taught over the years, about the time Solomon would have written this book of wisdom - Ecclesiastes - that it was written in the latter years of his life. The following verses are the reason for their conclusion and mine... "Remember now thy Creator in …
Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom; the Fool and Silence
"He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." Proverbs 17:27-28 (KJB) I will let the commentary of Matthew Henry speak today as well; it …

A Prayer for the Overwhelmed
'Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.' "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 …
Praising the LORD for His Goodness
"Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; because they rebelled against the words of …
What We Ought to do When God is Silent
"We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever? Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Pluck it out of Thy bosom. For God is my King of …
Delight in the LORD
"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; …
After God Speaks
This morning, as I read Job 42:1-6, I laughed. Why would I laugh? Because I saw myself in what Job says to the LORD. I have shared with you from Job 42:1-6 before and this is that link. Today I want us to focus on verses 5-6 though... "I have heard of Thee by the …
Arrows of the Almighty
Arrows are a long shaft, with feathers on the notch end to a pointed end that is shot by a bow. It is a weapon for killing in most cases. It is used in deer hunting, and other forms of hunting. Some schools even have archery events; which I find a bit hypocritical; though I …
Pray and Watch
Why is it that when many of us Christians have a problem we must try and solve the problem ourselves, in our own way? Look at Nehemiah an Old Testament man of faith, threatened by the enemy of God and His people... "Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against …
God’s Blessings
"And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper." 2 Chronicles 26:5 (KJB) Uzziah was one of the good kings of Judah. Yet, as we read the histories of the kings we must realize …
