BEFORE, DOING, AFTER & RIGHT NOW!

ByDr. Mark June 20, 2024 0 Comments
This meditation is something that might be helpful when you experience heavy burdens in the days ahead, or if needed, it may be profitable right now, in the event that you are feeling burdened today. Let the words of the Lord communicated before Christ, doing the time of and after Christ bless you. No entertaining story or analogy this morning, I’ll just let the word of God minister to you...

ALL ABOUT YOU

“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it.” And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.” Then...

WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN “THOUGH IT ALL”

ByDr. Mark May 10, 2024 0 Comments
“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...

WHEN YOU RISE THIS MORNING…

“I lay down and slept ; I awakened, for the Lord sustains me. I will not be intimidated or afraid of the ten thousands who have set themselves against me all around.” (Psalm 3:5-6 The Amplified Bible) I love watching videos of the Mississippi Mass Choir Singing, “When I Rose This Morning.” Do you remember some of the lyrics? Well, just in case you don’t, let me share some of them...

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...

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

“God takes care of his own, even while they sleep.” (Psalm 127:2b Contemporary English Version) Your anticipated Monday Short meditation has arrived! Listen for a minute or two! I got up early Saturday morning, around 2:20 a.m.  I could have gotten a drink of water, stopped at the restroom and went back to bed. But that’s not what happened.  Instead of resting, I started acting...

WHEN MUCH IS AGAINST YOU…

Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands.The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, “A...

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...

TOO OLD! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

ByDr. Mark March 14, 2024 0 Comments
A little girl who loves the Lord, and loves her Pastor too, told her grandmother, in so many words, “Pastor King is too old to be cool.” This followed a discussion comparing Pastor M.R. King, my son, with me, Pastor M.L. King. She made a preliminary comment; an opening statement, much like a lawyer, and perhaps it would stand up in court. Perhaps! Well, if my Counselor were to make an...

KEEP ON WALKING & KEEP ON TALKING

“By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.” (Hebrews 11:30 NIV) As you celebrate the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, you will probably hear a sampling of some of the civil rights songs of the sixties.  One of them you might hear is based on the spiritual, “Don’t Let Nobody Turn You Around.”  We know it most likely as,...
