The Word For Today; Tuesday, September 03, 2024
When Esau Cried Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel …

In Grief and Tears
Reading Job should be very encouraging to all of us. To know that here was a man who had a good life, with a great family, joy, wealth, and best of all a relationship with the Almighty. The reading for today is Job 9 through 12. And Job answered and said, "No doubt but ye …
False Prophets Versus GOD
Then said I, "Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, 'Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.' " Then the LORD said unto me, "The prophets prophesy lies in My name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded …
The Defeat of Death
O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. For Thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never …
The Author of Eternal Salvation
So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an High Priest; but He that said unto him, "Thou art My Son, to day have I begotten Thee." As He saith also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." Who in the days of his flesh, when He had …
For Your Mercies Sake
O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure. Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but Thou, O LORD, how long? Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for Thy …
Day Eighty Two – On Forgiving Others
Yesterday’s post was about “Sin in the Church”. Looking in First Corinthians at the Corinthian church was not much different than looking into the world; maybe even worse. The apostle Paul confronted a situation which grieved his heart. These were his spiritual children, and they were in the midst of tolerating the evil in their …
Therefore Watch – Acts 20:28-35
"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood.

When I Am Afraid, I Will Praise His Word
What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. Psalm 56:3-4 Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle: are they not in Thy book? When I cry unto Thee, …
Power; But No Comforter…
"So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the …
Before I Go…
"Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not Thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with Thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more." Psalm 39:12-13 (KJV) WE pray that …
Verse Of The Day 070510
"And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that He regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy …
