GO TO THE OFFICE!

It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will listen.” (Isaiah 65:24 NASB) You were probably one of the “good” kids who never heard those four fearful words directed to you, “Go to the office!” I can’t say the same for me. There are probably still footprints that the school maintenance staff cannot remove, footprints left by my...

HE ALREADY KNOWS!

Got questions? Maybe not, but I certainly do have a few. Let’s get started. What’s on your mind this Saturday? What are you planning to do? Have you considered where you will spend your time? What type of conversations will you engage in and what type of words will come out of your mouth? And let me ask you a few more questions, similar inquiries with a godly twist. Is the Lord on your...

PARTNER WITH GOD THIS MORNING!

“There were many Jews staying in Jerusalem just then, devout pilgrims from all over the world. When they heard the sound, they came on the run. Then when they heard, one after another, their own mother tongues being spoken, they were blown away. They couldn’t for the life of them figure out what was going on, and kept saying, “Aren’t these all Galileans? How come we’re hearing them...

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU ARE

“Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there. And the Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all that he did...

KUDOS TO THE CHOIR DIRECTOR!

“Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen .” (Hebrews 11:1 The Amplified Bible) In the Sunday meditation I challenged each reader, including you, to catch somebody doing something right. Then yesterday, I invited readers to “add some more “un” statements of your own regarding your confidence in...

THE ADDING OF ANOTHER “UN”

“You, Lord, are the light that keeps me safe. I am not afraid of anyone. You protect me, and I have no fears. Brutal people may attack and try to kill me, but they will stumble. Fierce enemies may attack, but they will fall. Armies may surround me, but I won't be afraid; war may break out, but I will trust you.” (Psalm 27:1-3 Contemporary English Version) Since Monday did not meet the...

WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN “THOUGH IT ALL”

“Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add...

GOD IS NOT DONE WITH YOU

“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will also help you, I will also uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10 NASB) It was halftime at a community league basketball game. The home team was behind by fourteen points, largely because they were not running the plays they had practiced and never seized the momentum. The...

THE LORD MAY LET YOU GO THROUGH SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING!

ByDr. Mark March 23, 2024 0 Comments
In the passage above, you see a familiar account of God leading the people in their Exodus from Egypt by a longer route, instead of by a way that was near. He led them by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. We all know the latter story about the Red Sea, right? I need to restate the title you just read, “The Lord may let you go through something to show you something.” Perhaps he...

NOT ODD! JUST GOD!

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners,    nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law, he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2 ESV) I know!  Yes, I used the passage above just a couple of days ago. But repetition has it value when it comes to remembering what the...
