“For I hold you by your right hand—I, the Lord your God.  And I say to you, ’Don't be afraid. I am here to help you.” (Isaiah 41:13 NLT) It’s Monday, so I will try my best to meet the “Monday Short” meditation target, but I’m not promising that I will accomplish my “not many words” goal, for the Lord is the guide who determines and dictates what I write.  Read on! ...

“BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD”

ByDr. Mark July 1, 2022 0 Comments
“Be still and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10a NLT) Tuesday I was sitting outside a major hospital in the area, early for an appointment.  Several feet from the front door of the hospital, there is an open plaza, somewhat an oasis where one can sit still, saturate one’s mind with meditation, and see with God-conscious sight, all that surrounds you.  Tuesday was a summer day...

“WORK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE”

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NASB) Youth workers at churches are special people.  They sacrifice their time to teach youth the Scriptures, but also to train them to be successful at their present age and as they advance into the future.  Thank God for these devoted workers, Christian mentors in the full sense of the term.  They...

“THE NUMBER & THE CODE”

ByDr. Mark June 10, 2022 0 Comments
“Make sure you don’t forget God, your God, by not keeping his commandments, his rules, and regulations that I command you today.  Make sure that when you eat and are satisfied, build pleasant houses and settle in, see your herds and flocks flourish and more and more money come in, watch your standard of living going up and up—make sure you don’t become so full of yourself and your...

“THE ELDERLY WOMAN’S JARS”

“It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV) Two members of a local church’s women’s group went over to visit with an elderly woman at her long-lived in home, realizing that her health conditions would not allow her to attend church as regular as she used to do...

ARE YOU BUSY?

“I love the Lord, because He hears my voice and my pleas.  Because He has inclined His ear to me. Therefore, I will call upon Him as long as I live.” (Psalm 116:1-2 NASB) One of the following examples surely has been experienced by you, especially during the pandemic when so many people are working from home, going to school at all levels from home, teaching from home, and even seeking jobs...

MAKE THIS SUNDAY A PRAISE DAY…AGAIN!

ByDr. Mark December 12, 2021 0 Comments
Let’s continue with the “Make This Day” theme that we started Friday.  As you saw in the title, our charge is to make this day a praise day!  Oh I know you have had reason and therefore resorted to praising God Monday thru Saturday, but let’s give Him special praise this morning even before we enter the sanctuary physically or virtually.  Read these few verses, just a few,...

MAKE FRIDAY A FEAST DAY…AGAIN!

“When your words turned up, I feasted on them; and they became my joy, the delight of my heart, because I belong to you, Lord God of heavenly forces.” (Jeremiah 15:16 Common English Bible) Living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for three months in the early 1980’s, when the weekend came, one of our favorite restaurants that we would go to was run by Amish owners.  After you were seated at a...

TRUTH

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 ESV) Primary education, in my days, centered around the basics, the three “Rs,” Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic.  Today, the students seem more interested in three “Cs”, Computers, Code” and Complex topics. I guess if you wanted to add to the three “Cs,” you could add cafeteria breaks and...

SOAK

“When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing.” (Hebrews 6:7 NLT) I won’t send this meditation out until 12:01 EST.  But know that I started writing it at 11:00 a.m.  You might ask, “Why in the world are you up so early Mark King?”  I asked the same question.  At first, I thought it was because when I turned...
