Even when God's people go outside of His will, He is still sovereign in all our lives. Reading for today is Ruth 1 through 4. Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in …

…In His Holiness
“God hath spoken in His holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the strength of Mine head; Judah is My lawgiver; Moab is My washpot; over Edom will I cast out My shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.” …
Day Eleven – Prophet’s Doom
The prophet of God was to be faithful to God, God’s Word, and to God’s people. The prophet of God was to speak the truth, speak what God said, and on the immediate surface of things it almost seems that Balaam was faithful in those things. However, What was he doing going with the enemy …
…Because You Have Trusted In Your Own Works…
"Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; ‘Woe unto Nebo! For it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed. There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. …

They Came to Bethlehem
"Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his …
A Zeal for GOD, and Holiness
Sometimes I fear, due to what some call grace, that holiness is a forgotten quality within Christianity. We need the zeal of Phinehas in dealing with sin; starting with our own sins. Due to the deceptive, lying, personal aggrandizing of Balaam to make his own greed successful the Moabites came in with lusty pleasures to …
Even the False Will Bless Whom GOD Has Blessed
"And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon …

The Words of the King
Jeremiah's prophecy is coming to a close. He is closing by preaching God's message that is going to effect the Gentile nations. He will judge them because of their harsh treatment of Judah and Israel. Chapters 46 - 51 gives messages of warning to Egypt, Moab, Edom, Kedar, and to Babylon. Hear the message of …
When You Come Home
Reading today from Judges 20 - Ruth 1... "And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and …
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. …
Judgment of Nations
“Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness. For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. And the plunderer shall come against every city; no one shall escape. The valley …
…The Days are Coming…
There are some in Christian circles, and Christian thought who tell us that we need to always look at the positive side of things. I must admit, that it is good to always look at the positive and not to overlook the negative. I realize that some negative thoughts are nothing more than jibberish, and …
The Hand of the LORD Will Rest
"And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall …
God has Spoken in His Holiness
"O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise Thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations. For Thy mercy is great above the heavens: and Thy truth …
Judgment and Hope for Nations
"And I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes,' saith the LORD. 'But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam,' saith the LORD." Jeremiah 49:38-39 (KJV) In the past few chapters of Jeremiah's prophecy God …
