Forgiveness and Redemption
Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth …
Day Sixty Six – A Very Troubled Marriage
How would you describe a “Bad Marriage”? For some men it might be described as “Having a wife that does not do what I tell her”. That would be domineering, power crazed husband. To some women it could be having a husband who “doesn’t put his dirty clothes in the dirty clothes hamper”. Men, how …
Day Forty – Songs For The Sons of Korah
The Scripture reading for today is Psalms 42 - 55. Psalms 42 - 49 are titled as a song for the sons of Korah; with the exception of Psalm 43. My personal thought on that Psalm is that it is probably included as a song for the sons of Korah. In Numbers 16 while Israel …

What is the Hope of the Hypocrite?

God forbid that I should justify you: till …
The Faith of a Man/Woman
"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee? Who can bring a …
Be Careful to Maintain Good Works
"Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and …

Some Heartbreaking News
Reading 2 Samuel 14 - 16 for today... "And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom." 2 Samuel 15:13 (KJB) How does one respond when they get news from a messenger that their son has schemed against them, and is taking over your business or …
For Adversity
Nobody likes adversity. Troubles are not pleasant no matter how large or small they are; well; trouble, pain, sorrow. The problem is many of our troubles we bring on ourselves; especially when we willfully violate the law, will and word of God. Are you presently experiencing trouble, trial, sorrow, pain and grief in your life? …
Hope in the LORD… Forever
"LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the LORD …
