"Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened." Zechariah 11:17 "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit …
Living According to the Word of the LORD
I was reading from Zechariah 4 - 9 this morning and these verses were for my eyes and ears. How many more need to hear these words? "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked Me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented …
A Shaking When the LORD Comes
My Bible reading for this morning was Haggai 1 through Zechariah 3. I share with you verses from Haggai, and the post of September 25, 2015. "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry …
God Sings when Evil is Defeated
My Bible reading for today (9/24/18) was Zephaniah 1 - 3. I am sharing this with you from September 24, 2015. I have never thought much about it until this morning reading the prophet Zephaniah; but God does sing. I would think that He is a masterful singer, because He would be the Master of …
When Troubled by Life’s Situations; Go to the LORD
Habakkuk did. "Art Thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, Thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, Thou hast established them for correction. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest Thou upon …

The LORD Will Assemble Her
One of the greatest miracles of the Bible is the LORD'S work of grace and salvation for His people known as Israel. He has been working in them, and through them since the time of Abraham. He will soon complete the work He has began in them. Having that assurance; He will also complete His …
Nineveh’s Greatest Day
Jonah was not only a reluctant prophet; he was a rebellious, running prophet who hated Nineveh, and its inhabitants. Yet, God loved the people and sent them Jonah as a messenger of repentance. Jonah walked into the city and proclaimed, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." Jonah 3:4 We see the greatest revival take …
The Promises of GOD for His People
There are many people, professing Christians, who are being taught, and who believe that the LORD God is through with the people of God of the Old Testament known as the Hebrews or Israel. How, if that be so, can we as Christians have confidence that He will not be, someday, through with us? If …
Not a Question – How Great is God
We hear boasts and claims from people that something or someone is "The greatest..." We are easily lured to that which we esteem as great. It does not seem to be so when it comes to the Creator of the universe however. Oh, do not take me wrong, but He makes an excellent spare tire …
I am Not Ashamed
"Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and …
The Compassion of God
Concern and Compassion took a cruise on an ocean liner. While they were out looking over the outer railing someone fell overboard. Concern cried out, “Man overboard”. Compassion cried out, “Man overboard”, and dived in to rescue the imperiled man. The above story shows the difference in concern and compassion. One cries out, but does …
Redeeming, Life Changing Love
"Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine." Hosea 3:1 (KJB) The LORD again speaks to Hosea concerning his wife. Hosea received command …
Weakened by Fear
My reading for this morning was Daniel 10 - Hosea 1. From Daniel 10 I share the following verse... "And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast …
A Spiritual Awakening
Reading Daniel 7 - 9 today I once again noticed the prayer of Daniel. A prayer of repentance; a prayer of recognition of the holiness and righteousness of God. Though the prayer is for the sins of Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem it seems very powerful even for the Christian of 2018. I share Daniel's prayer …
Pray Anyway
We have been told, and it has been feared by many that we cannot pray in certain places: public schools, government offices, even some restaurants; maybe some other places too. Daniel the prophet was told he could not pray, and he prayed anyway, just as he had done before the "law" was changed. Hear the …
