God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; Selah. That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for …

Study notes for Joel chapter 1
A PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING Joel 1:1-20 The question has been asked again and again; “Is cataclysmic weather, earthquakes, firestorms, and other acts of “nature” God’s judgment on wickedness? Joel sees drought, locusts, and such as God’s judgment on God’s people; so the other is true just as well. Christians of 2020 must come back …
Happy is That People
"Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: my goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. LORD, what is man, that Thou takest knowledge of him; the son of man, that …
I Will Hear What God the LORD Will Speak
"LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land: Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. Thou hast taken away all Thy wrath: Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger. Turn us, O God of our salvation, and …
In God I Put My Trust
"Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me. O Thou most High, what time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God I will praise His word, in God I …
Whose Words Shall Stand?
In a world where there are many words spoken. Some religious, some political, much trivial and inconsequential, talk among family and friends of events, church activities, teaching, and on and on we could go. In the prophet Jeremiah's day following the capture of Jerusalem the people chose to disobey God, even though the prophet had …
All the People Heard
The prophet Jeremiah was faithful in preaching, in delivering the word the LORD had given to him. It was not a popular word. The destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the temple, the captivity of the people, and it lasting for 70 years was not what they wanted to hear. They had hired prophets, …
The Truth is the Truth
Sharing with you from 2015. To Lie and Deny “Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the LORD. They have belied …
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 …
Our Protection
There are many who are reliant for the government to protect us. Protect us from having no health care; protect us from a lethal threat from a gunman, or the terrorist who go to great lengths to terrorize, maim, and kill great numbers of people. Some even desire the government to protect us from poverty …
The Census Not Counted
My Bible reading for today was 1 Chronicles 26 -27... "But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said He would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens." 1 Chronicles 27:23 (KJB) I will let some Bible Commentaries give their comments on this …
When Evil Leadership Influences a Nation
Reading today from 2 Kings 19 - 21... "But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel." 2 Kings 21:9 (KJB) Hezekiah the father of Manasseh was a good, and godly king. His son Manasseh turned the hearts of …
Come Out, Be Separate
Yokes are a farming tool from years past where the farmer or wagoneer even would place two animals; for a yoke, it would most generally have been oxen. The cart, wagon, or plow was usually teamed with an equally powered pair of the animals. Consider this as we look at the following passage of Scripture. …
