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 Twenty Four – Prophets and Kings
In the reading today - 1 Kings 15 - 2 Kings 6 - we begin the reading of a king of Judah by the name of Asa (1 Kings 15), and it is said of him, “Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father” (15:11). We …
Day Twenty Three – A Heart Turned Away
David, even though he had committed adultery against Uriah the Hittite, and had murdered him is still the standard of a man with a heart for God. The thing which makes a difference is that he did have a heart for God. He loved God, and wanted only to glorify Him. It is seen in …
Day Twenty – King Saul, and David
Reading today is 1 Samuel 17 - 29. I will do a little backing up to chapter 15 for study purposes, and a reminder of King Saul's sin. Saul began his reign as the chosen, anointed king of Israel, chosen by God. His heart was right, humble, and honorable. He seemed not to be grasping …
Day Eighteen – Life Decays Without God

Day Three – GOD Is Sovereign
Many trust in what is called fate. Some trust in faith as though faith has power of its own. “Just have faith” is what is heard quite often. What is the difference in “fate” and “faith”. Fate is events guided by events to the best of my knowledge; “What ever will be will be” mentality. …
Bethlehem Prophecy of The King
"Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: He hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be …
