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 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 …
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 …
I Will Be Enquired Of…
The Old Testament is chocked full of God's amazing grace and mercy. I have learned over the years to view the history of the Old Testament as a picture of my life, and how God not only is working in me but also in all who have been redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ. …
I Will Not Be Enquired of by You
It does not sound encouraging, comforting, or motivational. Does it? Some elders of Israel in the captivity of Babylon came to Ezekiel the prophet seeking God's counsel. They had not sought it before. Now they show some interest. God is not our spare tire. Hear the word of the LORD... "And it came to pass …
The Grace of GOD is Greater Far…
My reading of Scripture today was Ezekiel 15 - 16. Chapter 16 describes the sins of Judah and Israel, and why God judged them, the sins of Sodom and their judgment (16:49-50). We can see clearly that God does not tolerate sin. Sin is what God calls sin; it does not matter at all what …
The Sovereign Hand of God
"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 Life of Two Kings
Today I want you to compare the life of two rebellious kings. Jehoichin which Scripture tells us "...did evil in the sight of the LORD" and Zedekiah also "...did evil in the sight of the LORD" (2 Kings 24:9, 19). The following verses tell us more of Zedekiah, and chapter 52 of Jeremiah gives us …
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: …
The Blessed People
"Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance. In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted. For Thou art the glory of their strength: and in Thy favour our horn shall be exalted. For the LORD is …
A Caveat On Judgments
The word "Caveat" is a legal term for warning or caution. Job's friends had been adamant in their judgment of Job. He has just given them an example of his faith in the Living God. See Job 19:25-27. Now Job gives them a word of warning concerning their judgments of him. "But ye should say, …
Old, Outdated, Antiquated???
Reading chapters 17 - 19 of 2 Kings today... "For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses." 2 Kings 18:6 (KJB) Old, outdated, and antiquated are words we might hear from some older people about the Bible. We would probably hear it …
The LORD is Gracious and Compassionate
Reading 2 Kings 11 - 13 for today... But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast He them from …
Loyalty of Heart
Reading today from 1 Kings 14 - 15... "...Nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days." 1 Kings 15:14 b (KJB) Asa was the grandson of Rehoboam, and great grandson of Solomon. Abijam followed Rehoboam as the king of Judah, but he certainly was not a godly king; neither was Rehoboam, because …
