Reading for January 16, 2018: Genesis 42 – 43 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. Genesis 42:6 (KJV) It had been many years since Joseph …

Dwell in the Land
Since January 1, 2018, I have been sharing these daily devotions with you. I have been sharing verses which have spoken to my heart on that particular day of reading the Scriptures. I have been doing the reading schedule that is on this web site as Your Daily Bible Reading Plan, and pray you will …
You are Useful
Do you ever feel like a useless person, that you have never made any difference in anyone’s life, even your own? We all like to feel useful. We enjoy it when we hear someone tell us “Well done” on a job we have done, a race we have run, or even as a preacher, a …
The Work of God In Us Worked Out
O how we need to get this straight. Salvation by grace continues to work in us following our regeneration or justification in Christ and God. How the churches today need regenerated people sitting in the pews, in our places of employment, our recreation, working out their salvation with fear and trembling. “Wherefore, my beloved, as …
Neither Will I Count My Life Dear to Myself
“And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might …

In Whom You Delight
Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of His coming? And …
True Messenger for the People
Let me say this up front, then, you can and will decide if you want to finish reading this or not. The preacher who preaches to please the people, the largest groups, does not please God. The Preacher of God; the prophet of God preaches what God says, not what men say. Having said that …
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 …
When You Trust Him
“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6 (KJV) First of all look at the phrase “Every word of God”. Not just one, not just a few; …
The LORD Our God is With Us to Help Us
“And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying, Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there …
It Ain’t Over ‘Til GOD Gets Done
Sometimes we people of the human race do things we do not exactly want to do or like to do to survive. Abraham left the Promised Land of Canaan when a famine came, and Hagar came back with him and Sarah (Genesis 12:10-20). Look at the heartaches, and sorrow that has brought on us all. …
Filling the Tabernacle
“Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the …
When God Purposes a Thing
It seems that, sometimes at least, we; yes even Christians, put terrible events and tragedies up to chance. Chance says that these things just happen. I must admit that this troubles me, but I think it troubles me more to believe that these things happen by mere chance; when they cannot be chance. Looking today …
No Iniquity Found
Do you find yourself to be a sinner? Have you sinned against God? There are some who would answer "No" to both of those questions. Sadly, though, there is no salvation for such a person. It is possible however for one to experience deliverance from iniquity, forgiveness of sin. Hear the prophet Jeremiah speak the …
Prayer Today – Where Shall I Flee from YOUR Presence?
"Whither shall I go from Thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, Thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall …
